The Needle and the Damage Done - sung by Jack Marti

Apart from Jesus, we're all junkies..."For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23

This is just my rendition of the classic song by Neil Young.

I caught you knockin'
at my cellar door
I love you, baby,
can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.

I hit the city and
I lost my band
I watched the needle
take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done.

I sing the song
because I love the man
I know that some
of you don't understand
Milk-blood
to keep from running out.

I've seen the needle
and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's
like a settin' sun.

You're welcome, Phae. I'm glad it spoke to you.

Great Job my friend. This is the second song I ever learned how to play back in my teen years. You couldn't have said more perfectly, "apart for Jesus, we're all junkies..."

God Bless

Nice one but junkies is a little oversaying it isnt it...

We dont choose life, it is given to us.

Everything that's bad is not a sin, it's a way to better ourselves.

[guitmartiman]

Well, I don't know, from what I've observed of humanity, inside and outside the church, it's not overstating it at all. I mean, we may not all be literal junkies, but it seems that we're all addicted to something that isn't good for us, and, but for the grace of God, would eventually kill us. And I can hardly think of sin as anything that could possibly make us better, but I appreciate your perspective. Thanks for stopping by! You're always welcome.
