Born in Flint, MI on September 29, 1948 and influenced by Motown and the melting pot of music that Flint town was and still is today!

His later years as a Christian Rock solo artist showed us that yes indeed Christian music can truly Rock with guitar solos for Jesus!

After a few years of the Grand Funk reunion concert Mark has returned to his solo tour fronting the band "N'rG." His 2006 release "For The People" is proof that the heart of funk is current and still has the range and tenor of a seasoned Rock Icon. Available at: http://markfarner.com

New Age
Mark Farner Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a lie from the devil
Comin' down the pike
You've got umpteen different chances
That you're guaranteed to like
What about God, your creator?
No, you'll never be like him
You are altogether different
There's only one way that you can win

It's in the name of Jesus
He's God's only begotten son
He was made to be your savior
It's in Him your life is won
Man was appointed once to die
Everything else is just a lie
This new religion is so permissive
And that's the reason why

You like New Age
You've been locked up in a cage
What about life?
How much more could you sacrifice?
New Age
This ain't just another stage
You've been lied to by the father of lies
But God still wants to save your life
Yeah, save your life, ooh

New Age
You've been locked up in a cage
What about life?
How much more could you sacrifice?
New Age
This ain't just another stage
You've been lied to by the father of lies
But God still wants to save your life

Yeah, save your life
Oh, save your life
Oh, save your life
Whoa-whoa

New Age
You've been locked up in a cage
What about life?
How much more could you sacrifice?

New Age
This ain't just another stage
