  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    It really has been quite a journey creating these songs.

    It has taken me deeper into the gospels than I’d ever been before and has intensified my passion for their message and my desire to share it.

    Conceptually The MAP Project is for any of us who can identify with the feeling of “lostness”.

    Creating this project has reorientated and redirected me in ways I wouldn’t have contemplated two years ago and I’ve found that even my most spiritually cynical acquaintances have responded to these songs in an enquiring and receptive way!

    I’ve created, what I hope are some interesting options for those of you who want something more than a digital download.

    I hope you’ll enjoy them and want to share them.

about

This song is based on the story of a Syrian army general and his secret shame... www.joannehogg.com/map/the-general/

lyrics

The General

Soldier man, you have lived a life
Of leading soldier men
Soldier man, you can hide your shame
Beneath your iron and steel....
How does it feel??
When there are eyes that see and want you
But they don't know the scars that taunt you
No one knows the dreams that haunt your living days

Chorus
You are good at giving orders
Not so good at taking them
You gotta go down to the river
Seven times you'll wash your body

Soldier man, you are in a battle you can't overcome
Soldier man, it will take the full surrender of your heart
Where do you start
To peel away your best defenses
Who's love will bring you
To your senses
God only knows the fears
That haunt your living days

Chorus
You are good at giving orders
Not so good at taking them
You've gotta go down to the river
Seven times you'll wash your body
And people they will watch and wonder
Who you are, some crazy man
So where is all your pride and glory
You trade it in....for a new skin.

Bridge
Doesn't it feel good, the washing of your soul
Doesn't it feel good, giving up control
Doesn't it feel good , now you've settled in
......to a new skin
