AINT NOTHING STRONGER THAN LOVE! Music and Lyrics_ Michael Weeden©July2011 Verse 1 Some people love to hate. Some people hate to love. Some people never get enough! There are days, harder than the rest. But I know it's just a test. Our love gets stronger everyday. So...Everybody let's take a stand. To spread your love across this land. Let nothing get in your way.... Share a little love today! I know that a life without LOVE is no life at all. Verse 2 Wave your hands in the air if you believe in Love. Share love not hate, start now don't wait. If you believe, if you believe in love. Chorus AINT NOTHING STRONGER THAN LOVE!

33 TRILOGY AVE. Michael Weeden / LALA NARRATOR: PEOPLE WHO BLEIVE THE TRINITY TEACHINGS SAY THAT GOD COSIST OF THREE PERSONS. THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. EACH OF THESE THREE PERSONS IS SAID TO BE EQUAL TO EACH OTHER, ALMIGHTY AND WITHOUT BEGINNING. ACCORDING TO THE TRINITY DOCREN THEREFORE, THE FATHER IS GOD THE SON IS GOD AND THE HOLY SPIRT IS GOD, YET THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD. VERSE 1 SO AS I STEP UP TO THIS MIKE LORD GIVE ME THE WORDS THAT WILL GIVE HOPE AND STRENGTH IT'S ALL YOU LORD NONE OF ME LORD GIVE ME WORDS THAT CAN SET THE CAPTIVES FREE. MAKE THINGS CLEAR IN THE MINDS OF OUR YOUTH. YOU CAN BE 15 AND STILL ROCK THE TRUTH. U SEE WE ALL DIE, ONCE WE DO WE SEE NEW LIGHT. AS CHRIST ROSE UP, YOU TO CAN HAVE A NEW LIFE. IT'S LIFE AFTER DEATH IS THE STORY OF OUR STRIFE. EVERYTHING MENTIONED IS A REFLECTION OF OUR LIFE. WELCOME TO MY FAITH_ MY HOPE_ MY PAIN. LORD THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME LIVE AGAIN. BRIDGE SO AS I STEP TO THIS MIKE LORD GIVE ME THE WORDS THAT WILL GIVE HOPE AND STRENGTH SO AS I STEP TO THIS MIKE LORD GIVE ME THE WORDS THAT WILL GIVE HOPE AND STRENGTH LIFE AFTER DEATH IS THE STORY OF OUR STRIFE. EVERYTHING MENTIONED IS A REFLECTION OF OUR LIFE IT'S ALL YOU LORD NONE OF ME LORD GIVE ME WORDS THAT CAN SET THE CAPTIVES FREE. NARRATOR: THE FATHER IS GOD THE SON IS GOD AND THE HOLY SPIRT IS GOD YET THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD. MANY WHO BELIEVE THE TRINITY ADMIT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO EXPLAIN THIS TEACHING. STILL, THEY MAY FEEL IT IS TAUGHT IN THE BIBLE. IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT THE WORD TRINITY NEVER OCCURS IN THE BIBLE. BUT IS THE IDEA OF A TRINITY FOUND THERE? TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION LET US LOOK AT A SCRIPTURE THAT SUPPORTERS OFTEN SIGHT TO UPHOLD THE TRINITY. THE WORD WAS GOD JOHN 1:1 IN THE KING JAME VERSION STATES IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD. THE WORD WAS WITH GOD AND THE WORD WAS GOD. LATER IN THE SAME CHAPTER, THE APOSTLE JOHN CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THE WORD WAS JESUS. SINCE THE WORD IS CALLED GOD HOWEVER, SOME CONCLUDE THAT THE SON AND THE FATHER MUST BE PART OF THE SAME GOD. FOR INSTANCE, CONSIDER WHAT JOHN FURTHER WRITES IN CHAPTER 1 VERSE 18. NO MAN HAS SEEN ALMIGHTY GOD AT ANY TIME. HOWEVER, HUMANS HAVE SEEN JESUS THE SUN. VERSE 2 SO AS I STEP UP TO THIS MIKE LORD GIVE ME THE WORDS THAT WILL GIVE HOPE AND STRENGTH IT'S ALL YOU LORD NONE OF ME LORD GIVE ME WORDS THAT CAN SET THE CAPTIVES FREE. MAKE THINGS CLEAR IN THE MINDS OF OUR YOUTH. YOU CAN BE 15 AND STILL ROCK THE TRUTH. U SEE WE ALL DIE, ONCE WE DO WE SEE NEW LIGHT. AS CHRIST ROSE UP, YOU TO CAN HAVE A NEW LIFE. IT'S LIFE AFTER DEATH IS THE STORY OF OUR STRIFE. EVERYTHING MENTIONED IS A REFLECTION OF OUR LIFE. WELCOME TO MY FAITH_ MY HOPE_ MY PAIN. LORD THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME LIVE AGAIN. SO AS I STEP UP TO THIS MIKE LORD GIVE ME THE WORDS THAT WILL GIVE HOPE AND STRENGTH SO AS I STEP UP TO THIS MIKE LORD GIVE ME THE WORDS THAT WILL GIVE HOPE AND STRENGTH IT'S LIFE AFTER DEATH IS THE STORY OF OUR STRIFE. EVERYTHING MENTIONED IS A REFLECTION OF OUR LIFE. IT'S ALL YOU LORD NONE OF ME LORD GIVE ME WORDS THAT CAN SET THE CAPTIVES FREE! NARRATOR: MOREOVER AS RECORDED IN JOHN 17:3 JESUS MAKES A CLEAR DISTINCTION BETWEEN HIMSELF AND HIS HEAVENLY FATHER. HE CALLS HIS FATHER THE ONLY TRUE GOD. AND TOWARD THE END OF HIS GOSPEL, JOHN SUMS UP MATERS BY SAYING...JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!

SIDEWAYS MICHAEL WEEDEN / TAMERA LOWE CHOURS INTRO: I WILL TESITY AND TELL NO LIES  HOW HIS LOVE FOR ME HAS CHANGED MY LIFE_ OPEN UP YOUR HEART LET HIS LOVE SHINE IN MAKE A CHOICE HEAR HIS VOICE WITHIN_ WE ARE BLESSED  TO LIVE A LIFE WITH LOVE WITH HIS GRACE HE SENDS FROM ABOVE_ ALL OF US DEPEND  ON HIM EACH DAY BECAUSE WE KNOW HE'S THE ONLY WAY! VERSE To be a survivor in this Amazing Race with the need for speed you need God's Grace and if your desperate like housewives watching days of our lives, you can't cope without hope and that is not on a soap. If you're looking to Oprah or Dr. Phil you can shop non-stop or pop a pill, but the void won't fill and the pain won't kill until you love the one that hung on a hill. 
Kicking back in your lazy boy easy chair watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, nah your not gonna find it there. No American Idol or Council Tribal has the final answer that will satisfy ya. C. S. I. ain't got a clue. S.V.U. don't know what to do Not the E R or the OC not those seen on a CD TV DVD or MP3 can save you and me. CNN has got no Good News here's a headline you must choose. You must choose! You must choose! * It's not a simple life Paris Hilton, It's treading on thin ice living in sin. 
You can be an apprentice for Donald Trump or eat Fear Factor fast food from a dump. You can be a heavy hitter or wheel of fortune winner or a Fox news no spin spinner or flat out sinner but you better check this life that you're livin' and make sure your sins are forgiven. I bet ya 50 cent Elvis done come and went, and eventually every Black-eyed-pea, Gwen Stefani, P-Diddy and Britney. Every wanna-be on M T V with their Icy Bling, every Dixie Chick that Sings, they all gonna see the king of kings. I don't care if you're J-Lo, Leno or Bono. One thing you gotta know. Some day you're gonna die, Bro. Then Where are you gonna go? 
Hey, i'm not talking some punk junk that is irrelevant. Like your Grandma's church from way back when. It's not some preacher feature on T B N. that you need to be liking or listening. The real superstar is Jesus Christ. He's the way, He's the truth and the life. One day he's gonna split the sky. He is the brightest light and the highest high and so what I came to say and what I'm telling you is don't buy that stupid stuff they be selling ya. it's all designed to fill your head and waste your space until your dead. 
here's the bottom line in my rhyme. Give your life to God while there's still time. Give your life to God. Give your life to God.You must choose! CHOURS WE ARE BLESSED  TO LIVE A LIFE WITH LOVE WITH HIS GRACE HE SENDS FROM ABOVE_ ALL OF US DEPEND  ON HIM EACH DAY BECAUSE WE KNOW HE'S THE ONLY WAY!

TODAYS' THE DAY Michael Weeden JFK SPEACH Verse No harm happens to the righteous. But the wicked are filled with trouble. Lying lips are abomination to the Lord But those who act faithfully are his delight_ Truthful endure forever but a lying tongue last only a moment Deceit is in the mind of those who plan evil. But those that counsel peace have joy_ Bridge Where u gonna run when your time is out What u gonna call when the people shout your name and your back is against the Wall_ x 2 Chorus Today's the Day Everybody on your knees and pray Today's the Day_ Change Don't be afraid to tell the truth When the guns all point at you Don't back down from what u know is right_ I will say if you pray You will live a better way Today's the day we walk into the light_ Chorus Today's the Day Everybody on your knees and pray Today's the Day_ JFK SPEACH

PARADISE Michael Weeden NARRATOR_ Paradise Lost Of Mans First Disobedience, and the Fruit Of that Forbidden Tree, whose mortal tast
  Brought Death into the World, and all our woe,
With loss of EDEN, till one greater Man
Restore us, and regain the blissful Seat,
Sing Heav'nly Muse, that on the secret top
  Of OREB, or of SINAI, didst inspire
That Shepherd, who first taught the chosen Seed,
In the Beginning how the Heav'ns and Earth Rose out of Chaos. Verse_ I WAS LOST NOW I'M FOUND WASTING TIME MESSING AROUND_ TRYING TO FIND MY PARADISE LIKE A FOOL I BLEW IT TWICE_ BRIDGE I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS IN ANOTHER PLACE I DIDN'T KNOW IWAS IN ANOTHER SPACE CHOURS DO YOU WANTA GO LET ME KNOW PARADISE DO YOU WANTA SEE WITH ME PARADISE DO YOU WANTA FEEL HOW REAL PARADISE DO YOU WANTA FEEL HOW REAL DO YOU WANTA GET BACK TO THE GARDEN_ PARADISE NARRATOR_ And chiefly Thou O Spirit, that dost prefer
Before all Temples th' upright heart and pure,
Instruct me, for Thou know'st; Thou from the first
Wast present, and with mighty wings outspread
Dove-like satst brooding on the vast Abyss
and mad'st it pregnant: What in me is dark
Illumine, what is low raise and support;
That to the highth of this great Argument
I may assert th' Eternal Providence,
and justify the ways of God to men. Say first, for Heaven hides nothing from thy view
nor the deep Tract of Hell, say first what cause
  Moved our Grand Parents in that happy State, Favored of Heaven so highly, to fall off
 From their Creator, and transgress his will
For one restraint, Lords of the World besides? Who first seduced them to that fowl revolt?
The infernal Serpent; he it was, whose guile
Stirred up with Envy and Revenge, deceived
the Mother of Mankinde, what time his Pride
had cast him out from Heaven, with all his Host
Of Rebel Angels, by whose aid aspiring.
   DO YOU WANTA GET BACK TO THE GARDEN_

about

Here are a few early reviews!

Wow!!! What an album and truly shares the glory of God I think it had to be done and so glad you did it !
Michael aka (Menace) Weeden is a unique individual with an everflowing creativity which never ceases to amaze me. On this album he has intertwined his personality with his musical genius from sounds through to production. Whilst he worked with the legendary Bootsy Collins, George Clinton et al he was himself a creative powerhouse and this juice continues in his new project. He has excelled himself by lifting his musical ability to another level by mixing the love of God with his love of music. A genre of music which under normal circumstances lacks energy and soul, Michael has brought it into the 21st Century using contemporary vocals and production.
When I met him about 12 years ago I knew immediately he was a very talented musician after listening to his phenomenal catalogue of material . He also recognises raw talent when he sees it and at that time as  a producer he introduced me to a young artist with great potential and it was then that I understood the depth of of his talent. . Life connects us all in some way and to this day we remain connected, for that I am grateful.

WAKE THE LOVE UP makes me want to dance but the most remarkable thing about this album is that it also makes me want to surround myself with like-minded party lovers who desire more from their music than just a good beat and memorable chorus. WAKE THE LOVE UP, song after song, is bringing love, compassion and the existence of a higher force, to the dance floor. And I ain’t mad at that – not one bit. Wrapping his lyrics of love and god in a blanket of House and Techno grooves, Weeden manages to make biblical passages relevant and contemporary and proves that dance music does need NOT be a wasteland of self-indulgence and meaningless words. Of course, I have long been a fan of Weedens and it looks like he's got me again.

A great deal of love goes out to Michael Weeden for the production of "Wake The Love Up".
From the title track "Wake The Love Up" to "In My UFO", you can hear the message, the love and the passion.
Totally put together by someone that always "Thinks Outside The Box".
The "Michael Weeden" production signature and the emotional lyrical content, just hits you in the face. What an intriguing concept.
This album has the potential to capture the emotion and love of a large spectrum of fans. 
I highly recommend you take a good hard listen to each and every track. As I was , you will feel the intensity, the love, the message and great production in every track!
