It reminds me of my own life as a new convert. When I turned to Jesus my friends would come by and say "lets go get stoned". I would tell them I was going to stay home and read the Bible. They laughed and mocked.
telling me how much fun they were having.
Probably the worse was one night two guys I had run around with came and blew their horn till I came outside. These were two "bad" dudes. I was with them one night when they started a fight with some guys on the street.
It escalated until one of them was stabbed and other took a log chain and went chasing the other guys down the street. With them it was normal to do these things.
They began demanding that I go get drunk with them. Now one of them at that present time was a Police officer in our township. The other his brother was just always bad news.
God gave me wonderful grace to tell them I had become a believer in Jesus! I got to witness to them strong. They demanded and intimidated but Jesus had been so good to me I was really in love with him. So they gave up letting me know how I was really missing out.
The one that was a cop came back another time trying to get me to go and do drugs with him. Again God used it for a witness. Several years later I saw him again and he still laughed at my testimony.
So I have a soft spot for this song. It has nice music. Excellent words. It brings back memories of a new convert standing his ground under fire.
Last of all the lead singer of the Byrds Roger Mguinn is now a believer in Jesus himself.
