I was listenin in to your transmission (I hear it every night, hear it every night)
I think there was a problem with my reception (on my satellite, on my satellite)

It seemed like a section of my soul was having trouble with the signal

I was trying but it just wasn't pickin up
I guess the frequency was stuck
And my heart corroded shut

I couldn't tune in to the station that was telecasting my salvation...

But I wanna hear it now
And sing along again
I just don't know how
I lost that frequency but now it's coming in
Yeah it's coming in!

In a room full of doubters You were the sure one (You were like a light, You were like a light)
In a town of compromises, You are the pure one (I think You got it right, I think You got it right)

It was water to my soul to hear You singing so honest and simple

I seek to be sophisticated,
But I make it complicated
I over elaborated but now that I have contemplated
I'll write about the love of Jesus and his mercy that never ceases

And I wanna hear it now
And sing along again
I just don't know how
I lost that frequency but now it's coming in.
Yeah it's coming in!

It was foolish to be jaded that the cross was intgraded
I remember Jesus said you either love it or you hate it

I didn't know the words in my heart I was singing with You

And I wanna hear it now
And sing along again
I just don't know how
I couldn't find it then

And I wanna hear it now
And sing along again
I just don't know how
I lost that frequency but now it's coming in.

Behind the Song:
'I wrote this song about a night that I went to see John Davis play. He was the lead singer and songwriter in one of my favorite bands, Superdrag, that has now become a believer. It really stirred something in me to hear the experience of a new believer put into a song by a writer as good as him. I couldn't help but realize how far away I stood from where he was in being excited about the gospel. There was one song in particular which had the lyric 'I lost my reason for living when I gave up on salvation, but now I want to hear that station,' I like the image. The gospel is transmitted and our hearts are the receivers. I wrote this song in response to his. Incidentally, John was kind enough to play the soic and sing backups on this song, not to mention playing organ and piano on the rest of the record.' - Matt Morginsky (The O.C. Supertones)
