The Trumpeter's Prayer
 
The Lord is my drummer, I shall not rush.
He maketh me to lay out in  tasteful places.
He leadeth me beside cool meter changes
He restoreth my  "one".
 
Yeah man, though I read through the trickiest of charts,
I will fear no  train wrecks.
For You are with it
Your ride and Your snare, they comfort  me.
 
You setteth up a solo for me
In the presence of mine guitarists.
You  annointeth my lines with drive
My groove overfloweth.
 
Surely good feel and swing will follow me
Through all the tunes of each  set.
And I will dwell in the pocket
The whole gig long.
 
Amen
