I edited it on 4/17/10 and added a D# to the chorus, which I couldn't previously figure out... So yeah. Rock 4 Jesus!! _____________________________________________________________________________ This is an awesome song, with an awesome message. So to anyone who reads this, Take some time to actually think about the lyrics of this song. How much time are you really spending with God? When you go to Church, do the words of the songs and sermon go in one ear and out the other, or do you actually apply them to your life? Do you take the time to worship God even when you are physically and mentally exhausted, or does God come second? Every time I hear this song, I am reminded what living for God really means, and I hope the message of "Even When" resounds in you too. God bless, /|\ P.S.
