IT'S SO EASY (TO BE SAVED) ©
Lyrics by Sam Bartholomew, Dennis Kizanis, and Pat Flanakin
Music by Dennis Kizanis and Pat Flanakin

Believe it in your heart
And speak it with your mouth
That Jesus Christ is your Lord
And Savior

That's what you need to do
To walk through heaven's gate
How do I know, Jesus said it's so
And you'll be saved

It's so easy to be saved
It's so easy to be saved
It's so easy, so easy
It's so easy to be saved

BREAK

Some people go to church
And they think it's all they need
To get their name written in
The book of life

Believe it in your heart
And speak it with your mouth
That Jesus Christ is Lord of all
And your Savior

It's so easy to be saved
It's so easy to be saved
It's so easy, so easy
It's so easy to be saved

It's so easy to be saved

First of all, I have to admit I had a flashback of a cover song by Jars of Clay singing "Jesus' Love Never Failed Me Yet" when I got to the pre-chorus and then I was hooked. Aside from that Am-D-G progression in an E tune or similar key, I just loved the honesty in the vocals and lyrics. This demo sounds professionally produced but my pre-production songs never sound this good but the vocalist sold me on an original and well-produced song. So if this song is a home studio demo then I am blown away. If already produced then I am equally blown away because of the sheer truthfulness to the song as a pop song. The vocalist is honest and gritty and has a great sound for contemporary Christian songs. Instrumentals are just right and not under or overdone. Very well done.

I really like the vocals, they sound so smooth - the drums are awesome , I also like the lead guitar - great message as well.
