My life is the songs I write :)

So...

I'm a song-writer 'kay? I've been one for about three or four months now. It's so weird to me sometimes how it seems to come so easily when only about five or six months ago, it sounded like the most difficult thing in the world. My song-writing is very much a "God" thing, you know one of those things you just know God did in your life, something that is nearly entirely outside of your own ability or choice. I literally woke up one morning and started writing, the words just seemed to come and then when I got home to my keyboard, melodies, piano parts just came. Just like that.
I'll show you what I believe to be my best song :)

Still We Walk

[Verse 1]


The smell of death in the air
Many are fallen
The dark skies persist
And yet, we remain
You and I

The dry earth is proof
Proof of what has been
The rain refuses to come
But even in my wilderness


You are God
You are God

(Chorus)


Times have changed
I have changed
Yet You remain the same
My promise has faltered
I trusted in horses
In all this, You love me
You love me
And still we walk


[Verse 2]
Remember the day
The day I chose the path
The road less travelled
My eyes blind me to the truth
So who will I run to?
Who will stand with me?
Whom have I besides You?
You are God
You're still my God


(Chorus)


{Bridge}
Out of the depths
I cry to You
You reach for me
Call me by another name
I am Yours
And still we walk


(Chorus)

I'll explain why I chose certain words, do bear in mind that I wrote this in about twenty-six minutes or so, I was just really getting into it that's at all. I really focused my mind and my heart on what I was trying to say and God brought the words.
"The smell of death in the air" - See, I liken faith to somewhat of a battle, and in every battle, there are casualties, so this is one reason for this particular choice of words. Again, when you are going through brokeness, God allows certain parts of your character, things that were holdind you back from being all He wants you to be to die.
"Many are fallen" - Again with the casualties part, different people will put their hope in different things, personally, I put my faith in God, these people fall, not to die physically but dreams die, plans die, potentials and even hope dies in their life, it's sad to see but it does happen.
"The dark skies persist" - Hopelessness is a recurring theme in the world we live in today.
"And yet we remain, you and I" - My hand is still in God's despite the fact that I've been through quite a lot.
So yeah, I just had to tell you this...
Buh-bye now :)
