Trish Lober - Singer, Songwriter, and Piano Player

I have a piano teacher, a really good one, or some people know her as a singer/song writer. Her name is Trish Lober. Her newest song is called "My Rock". It's about who/what is your rock. In this song she says that her rock is Jesus. Which is true.



I recently had an interview with her. I asked her the following questions about her song "My Rock" :


1) What called you to write this song? 


Her Answer:
The song, "My Rock" was probably birthed out of my devotional time with the Lord in the mornings. I believe I was thinking about how God never changes - He is "immutable". I decided to do a re-write of the song a few years ago, which is when I re-named it. I was thinking about our country and the "signs of the times" and thus wrote the new lyrics around this topic - how we can have peace in an circumstances if Jesus is our Rock. 


2) How long have you been singing? 


Her Answer:
Well . . . that's a tough one because I have never considered myself a singer! A songwriter, yes, but not a singer. I have only been singing my songs for approximately 12 years. I have been writing songs for 33 years though!! I started off singing my songs, however I then had no desire to do this and only pursued songwriting. Around the year 2000, the Lord was impressing me to sign my own songs . . . so, though I has absolutely no confidence in my voice, I went forth in obedience and began to sing publicly again. I believe that, as I have been obedient to what he has called me to do and have been diligent to try to improve my voice, He has made it sound much different that what it did 12 years ago. 


3) What is the main idea behind this song? 
Her Answer:
Jesus is unchangeable - a rock - an anchor, if you will. So, the idea behind the song is that if our hope and trust is in Him, we will not be shaken. We can have peace and joy in the midst of the storm if he is our rock. 


4) What are you wanting your listeners to get out of your song? 
Her Answer: 
I want them to be inspired to make Jesus THEIR ROCK!!!!

Dear Cell Phone

Dear Cell Phone,

Today I woke up and saw you laying there. You’re just another distraction. You cannot bring me back to the lord. Let my bible do that. You cannot show me how to be a better Christian. Let my youth pastor do that. You cannot tell me that I am getting off track with my faith. Only my friends and family can do that.

But, do not let this letter fool you. Yes, I do like how you let me stay in touch with my friends in this day and age. Yes, I do like how you can let me get on the internet for a price of $30. Yes, I can talk to my family or friends on the go. But, you cannot equal what a good old-fashioned talk can do.

If you’ll do your job which is just to let me use you when I absolutely need to. I would really appreciate it. Also, If you let my church family be a steady foundation instead of a signal that can die if you go through a tunnel.

It would be very much appreciate it!

Made to Love

Have you ever heard the song "Made to love" by tobyMac? It is amazing!!!

He is really Good.
Here are the music lyrics;
Made to Love Written and sung by TobyMac

The dream is fading, now I'm staring at the door
I know its over cause my feet have hit the cold floor
Check my reflection, I ain't feelin what I see
It's no mystery
Whatever happened to a passion I could live for
What became of the flame that made me feel more
And when did I forget that...

I was made to love you
I was made to find you
I was made just for you
Made to adore you
I was made to love
And be loved by you
You were here before me
You were waiting on me
And you said you'd keep me
Never would you leave me I was made to love
and be loved by you

The dream's alive with my eyes opened wide
Back in the ring you've got me swinging for the grand prize
I feel the haters spittin vapors on my dreams
But I still believe
I'm reachin out, reachin up, reachin over
I feel a breeze cover me called Jehovah
And daddy I'm on my way
Cause I was made to love...

I was made to love you
I was made to find you
I was made just for you
Made to adore you
I was made to love
And be loved by you
You were here before me
You were waiting on me
And you said you'd keep me

Never would you leave me I was made to love
and be loved by you

I was made to love you
I was made just for you
Made to adore you
I was made to love
And be loved by you
You were here before me
You were waiting on me
And you said you'd keep me
Never would you leave me I was made to love
and be loved by you

(nah, nah, nah, nah - nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
(nah, nah, nah, nah - nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)

Anything I would give up for you (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
Everything, I'd give it all away (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)

Anything I would give up for you (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
Everything, I'd give it all away (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)

Anything I would give up for you (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
Everything, I'd give it, I'd give it all away, Oh yeah

Cause I was made to love you (I was made to love you)
Yeah I was made to love you (I was made to find you)
Cause I was made to love you (I was made to adore you, made just for you) (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
I was made to love you (I was made to adore you, made just for you)
Cause I was made to love you (I was made to adore you, made just for you) (nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)

Rain Like God

I think rain is kinda like God.  Lately, we have had alot of storms in Tennessee. We were all dirty but, now we are clean(and a little torn up.) I know what your thinking "This guy is crazy! What is he talking about??" We here's what I say! I LOVE GOD!!! I love it when he creates a storm and shows us how awesome (and distructive) he can be. I just think that he has a plan.
 Just think about it God's blood kind of represents the rain. When you pray and ask "God, please forgive my sins." God's blood washes you clean. I really feel close to God when I am standing at the sound board and hearing how magnificent the praise band is. They are singing " I lift my hands to the joy of the lord." I can't  help but, to put my hands up in the air because the power of the lord is in the lord.
 Since, you probably read the title, your probably wondering how rain represents God? Just hear the rain pitter patter pitter pattering on the ground. As it hits the trees it is washing away the trees' pollen to make it clean. If you think about it's kind of saying "I am the lord your God and I am washing away YOUR sins."
 I just find that interesting. God died on the CROSS for YOU! I don't think we appreicitate it enough. I know since I am 11 yrs old about to be 12 I never known how much christ our lord gave up for us. HE died and shed his blood for US, so we could expirence his love he gave to his Disicple and who ever loved him. My pastor always tells me that we never know what he did untill you let your life go for God.
 Ever since I gave my heart to god (which was about 2 months ago, when I started Confirmation) I never stoped thinking about how God FORGIVES and LOVES us even though we may have had the worst life.
 God DIED and FORGIVES. Always remember that.
