You Are The God Who Sees Me

Our Father knows the number of hairs on our heads; He knows what we are going through; He counts our every tear. He knows every detail of our circumstances. 

V is for AVenged SeVenfold (Chapter Four)

Chapter Four is a song by Heavy Metal band Avenged Sevenfold. The song’s name and lyrics are based on Genesis chapter 4, where the story of Cain killing Abel is told. The band also took their name from that same story (Genesis 4:24).

Q is for Quilt (Coat Of Many Colours)

Coat of Many Colours is a song written and recorded by Dolly Parton. A true story, it tells of how Parton's mother stitched together a coat for her young daughter out of rags given to the family, just like a patchwork quilt. As she sewed, she told her child the biblical story of Joseph and his Coat of Many Colours (from the book of Genesis). When Parton wore the coat, the local kids just made fun of her.

Parton composed the song in 1969, recording it in April 1971. It reached number 4 on the U.S. country singles charts. Parton also admits that this is the favourite of the many songs she has written.

I is for In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

This song was written by Doug Ingle, vocalist and keyboard player for the rock band Iron Butterfly. His father was a church organist. The song title was supposed to be "In The Garden Of Eden", named of course after the birthplace of mankind in the book of Genesis. Someone had written "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" on a demo copy - reportedly because Ingle was drunk on wine when he first performed it...

A record company executive saw it and decided to use it as the title, since it sounded mystical and Eastern spirituality was big at the time (The Beatles were going to India and The Rolling Stones were experimenting with Indian instruments). The album version of the song is over 17 minutes long; the single was edited for radio. It's arguably the first ever Heavy Metal track!
