One Day, I Just Decided I'm Ready

Now That I Know That I've Needed You So, Help Me, Jesus. My Soul's In Your Hand.

I Recently Found Myself Going Through A Period Of Uncertainty About My Future As A Performer, My Status As A Personality, The Believability Of My Christian Witness And The Knowledge Of God's Will In My Life. I Felt A Force Bigger Than Myself Saying, 'lay Back. Take It Easy. Study Hard. Read Your Bible. Think, Write And Keep Your Mouth Shut For Awhile.'

I Knew That When I Left There At The Age Of 18, I Wouldn't Be Back. And It Was Common Knowledge Among All The People There That When You Graduate From High School Here, You Go To College Or Go Get A Job Or Something And Do It On Your Own.

Life Is - The Way God Has Given It To Me Was Just A Platter - A Golden Platter Of Life Laid Out There For Me. It's Been Beautiful.

Rick Rubin Came To My Concert In Orange County, Calif. I Believe This Was, Like, '83 When He First Came And Listened To The Show. And Then Afterwards, I Went In The Dressing Room And Sat And Talked To Him.
