Ground rules for permission to use my original music: I am giving anyone who wants to perform my original songs permission to do so, here in writing. Have fun and enjoy the songs, if you want to. But there are stipulations. (#1) Don't take GOD out of my songs! No one has permission to secularize my songs, they are my intellectual property. {I made official copyrights © and have the legal documentation to prove it.} (#2) My songs can only be non-profit. Meaning $-money-$ earned from my songs must be donated. (exp. given to a Christian church or Christian mission work: see picture links below for some options to choose from.)
No personal financial gain/profit from the songs I've written is permissible! Give it to GOD! 

JESUS Christ is the answer!!! (John 3:16) 

Some songs I write are sacred {worship}, but some are secular {Christian evangelical} JOHN 3:16!!!

The demo album "Salt & Light" has some of the original Christian music GOD has allowed me to create and spend more time making better recordings of. You can download FREE copies of those songs above. Below are the rough draft recordings of other songs I've written. GOD willing, after I graduate Liberty University Online, I plan to professionally record and these songs, plus another album I'm working on. My music will remain FREE to download as long as I'm alive with a suggestion for people to donate to Christian mission work or a Christian church. If you want to support me financially you can purchase the books I'm writing with Christian Faith Publishing. I wrote and published "Prodigal Daughter" already and will soon also publish the second book I've written called, "The Great Light" (JESUS). So look for all the songs to be recorded and FREE to download in the future. Ia also plan to write a book entitled Prodigal Son after graduating LUO.

All "Original Christian Album" songs are officially copywritten and the intellectual property of their author Jeremiah N Raines (aka Christian j Raines). See information above about permissions for usages of songs.

My friend Daniel Barnhart (middle in pic) is working on his Master's Degree in Theology, and possibly creating a divinity school class curriculum for disability studies on scriptures in the Bible. Please pray for Daniel about that. I asked Daniel to write a poem to accompany my songs because he is also a writer. He is very talented. This is the poem he wrote. Also FREE to download! Because of making his studies a top priority, which is smart, Daniel isn't currently writing seriously. He is focus is on his Christian studies! (I have asked him if he would be interested in doing some writing projects together, and he said maybe in the future if he has time....) Psalm 150 

In his Farewell Speech, September 19, 1796, U.S. president George Washington said:

"The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of right and order which Heaven itself has ordained. … Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. …

…reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principles. It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government.” (Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States, B. F. Morris, pages 634,635; and America’s God and Country, edited by William Federer, page 661)

Romans 7:7-25 (New American Standard Bible)

7 What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? Far from it! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, “You shall not covet.” 8 But sin, taking an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead. 9 I was once alive apart from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin came to life, and I died; 10 and this commandment, which was to result in life, proved to result in death for me; 11 for sin, taking an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it, killed me. 12 So then, the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.

13 Therefore did that which is good become a cause of death for me? Far from it! Rather it was sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin by bringing about my death through that which is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.

14 For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold into bondage to sin. 15 For I do not understand what I am doing; for I am not practicing what I want to do, but I do the very thing I hate. 16 However, if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, that the Law is good. 17 But now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin that dwells in me. 18 For I know that good does not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. 19 For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. 20 But if I do the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin that dwells in me.

21 I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. 22 For I joyfully agree with the law of God in the inner person, 23 but I see a different law in the parts of my body waging war against the law of my mind, and making me a prisoner of the law of sin, the law which is in my body’s parts. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? 25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.

Romans 8:1-11

1 Therefore there is now no condemnation at all for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. 3 For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who are in accord with the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are in accord with the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, 7 because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, 8 and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

9 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. 10 If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
