Seventeen-year-old CJ shines as the band’s lead guitarist and shares vocals with sixteen-year-old Maggie, who rocks dual instruments on bass and keys. The youngest of the group, thirteen-year-old Lulu, anchors the band with an intensity on drums that is way beyond her years.
GFM’s edgy sound resonates in the familiar dark corners of its rock genre; but with influencers like Skillet, Memphis May Fire, Bring Me the Horizon, Red and Disciple, GFM’s lyrics shine with a universal light. Through their individual journeys, GFM manages to blur the lines of the Christian sub-culture, reaching both conservatives and listeners beyond the devout. Drawing its name from the original gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, GFM proves that while the guitar’s distorted, the message is clear – the mission is the music.
Chatter in the Room
Gold Frankincense & Myrrh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're calming,
And He′s always there, always there
For me, for me
No you can't
There's no way
Not happening today
Broken dreams are not His way
He′ll help you just keep the faith
Drowning out the chatter in the room
Asking questions you won't believe
Answers no deceive
And He′s always there, always there
For me, for me
No you can't
There′s no way
Not happening today
That's not easy, no escape
Broken dreams are not His way
He′ll help you just keep the faith
Drowning out the chatter in the room
He's coming back what will you do
Running out of time, Will you choose?
What's the next step, It′s your move
And He′s always there, always there, always there, for you
No you can't
There′s no way
Not happening today
That's not easy, no escape
Broken dreams are not His way
He′ll help you just keep the faith
Drowning out the chatter in the room
Broken dreams are not His way
He'll help you just keep the faith
Drown out the chatter in the room
Broken dreams are not His way
He′ll help you just keep the faith
Drown out the chatter in the room
