Sam Phillips-Happy Easter(Deep) I Shall Seek Thee Earnestly

God is Good, Christian Rock is not good! The former Leslie Phillips as a Christian singer realized Christian rock was vapid, Journeyish type of stuff, controlled by the right. Reinventing herself as alternative modern rock and roller Sam Phillips, Sam gained renown for tackling all subject matter as a superb songwriter. Her detractors have painted her as some kind of Pagan, but Sam is like every intelligent person, multifaceted and has thoughts about everything. God isn't every aspect of her life, he is a part of Her Life. She still believes in God,as the below quotes display.. But this deep masterpiece would never pass with Christian rockers. The incredible song,"I Shall Seek Thee Earnestly" song features superlative Phillips lyrics and vocals, cool guitar and some string instruments that give it a freaky very cool sound. Is their alternative Christian rock and roll?

Here's Sam's current thoughts on Faith and Christianity.

Her longing for God remains, as does her chafing at the politics of "church."

"It's very difficult for me to talk about spirituality with a spiritual language that a lot of people use because it's not big enough. The vocabulary needs to be bigger," Phillips said recently by phone from her Los Angeles home. "I do get frustrated when the church becomes a mouthpiece for the political right wing in this country. It's sad to me...It just seems like love has been left so far behind. Now it's screaming with your fingers in your ears and that's what Christianity has come to mean to so many people.

"Are people loving? That's the first thing," she continued. "And if they're not, then I'm back to square one. It doesn't resonate. To me that's where spirituality begins."

On the road, Phillips often encounters fans who first knew and loved her as Leslie and who felt, as she did, alienated from the church for one reason or another. "They're still listening to me now, years and years later because of that," she said. "I think that they felt that I was on the journey with them, which I have been. Nobody is static...People change and they grow and they learn."
