A few words of encouragement.

I've been finding myself having more to write than I've had days to write, so I've decided to do Sundays as well, to bring it up to a total of four days a week. So I'll be writing Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Today, I've had a few good words of encouragement. I had a gig today, and I had a few people who were liking what I was playing, so that was good. And I had also ran this song that I had written past one of the guys at church, and he said that he really liked it, which was really great to hear :)

I wrote the song only a couple of nights ago. I wrote it at the same time as another song, so at first, the music I was thinking of for that song was sounding very similar to the other one :P I've had that happen a ew times before, so when that does happen, I just leave it and come back to it later. And I'm really happy with it - I'm really excited about it, actually, I'm thinking about hopefully doing this as a CD at some point. Though that's thinking a fair bit down the track, unless something of a dramatic nature happens soonish...

If you're interested, the lyrics are below, and the video I did to show to the couple of guys that I sent it to is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXyw7VXotcs

About You

 

V1:

What if we took the religion out of religion

Got rid of any rituals or rites

Stopped waving our own sparkly banners

And started to wave the bloody and torn one of Jesus Christ

 

V2:

What if we put the thanks back into thanksgiving

And put the Christ back in Christmas

Stopped arguing about our differences and disagreements

And started remembering the power of love and forgiveness

 

Chorus:

What if we started to make it

All about God

All about Jesus

All about love

All about His Kingdom

All about what He's done for us and what He keeps doing

Let's stop talking about ourselves and start talking about Him

 

V3:

What if we shone a light for all the world to see

And sang a song that the whole world could hear

Not just talking about things that might have happened long ago

But doing things now and here

 

Chorus

 

Bridge:

It's all about Him

We want it to be just about Him (x2)

It's all about You

We want it to be just about You (x2)

 

Chorus2:

All about You

All about Your Son

All about Your love

All about Your Kingdom

All about what You've done for us and what You still do

Let's stop talking about ourselves and start talking about You
