The Intercession Song (We Gonna Pray)

Working notes:
Chords are basic - I've add more since tabbing it out.

I was thinking about the lyics in the City of God tune. "...In the City of God, overwhelming worries are surround in prayer." I recalled many memories from childhood to adulthood, proclaiming the name of Jesus, and casting out Satan from my thoughts.

We were born into the world with the blemish of sin, since Adam. Temptation will always be present, and will always be something that we will need to fight against.

Its funny that this song came to me right around the same time that Charlie Harris talks on The World, The Flesh, and The Devil were posted on the POP File Library. I didn't really have any intention of trying to capture any of those ideas or language. I was just aiming to capture childhood memories of casting out th devil, and fomulating into a song that had a groove to it and could people the the mood to fight the horns and interceed.

Inspiration:
Inspiried by Rejoice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6P2NZXbT4A) The minor grove of this initially remided me a little bit of a 8-mile or something. A cross between the indy/jewish lai lai's of the 70's mixed a little hip hop flavor. I tried to emulate/re-created it, but turned up with blues instead. oh well, maybe i'll be able to pull off some hip hop eventually...:D.
