My father wrote lyrics to a song I wrote a long time ago. I recorded it...
Lyrics:
I thought I was in control
And Alone I could do it all
But my work was a house of cards
Never thought I'd fall so hard...
Chorus A:
But there you were
As you've always been
Far more than I deserve
Your Grace that never ends
You get it all
Saved from the Fall
In Your Embrace is where I'll stay...
Forever Yours!
The pain of being so low
My action had left me alone and lost
Without pride self-loathing flowed
The actions for gain brought a cost...
Chorus A
In my deepest despair of night
I would have thrown it all away
But, a simple verse a stranger shared
And You my Lord brought in the light
In my deepest despair of night
You my Lord, brought in the light
Chorus B: (2x)
And there you were
As you'd always been
Far more than I deserve
Your Grace will never end
You get it all
Saved from the fall
This light will be forever Yours
Amen!

Nice job, really love the lyrics.
The guitar I was most impressed with, and your harmonizations. You worked perfectly... with yourself. xDDD
Machete Says:
Nicely done, my friend.
I had trouble only with the bongos. Mainly because I don't know exactly how they are supposed to sit in a song. They didn't seem to match all the time. So nothing on you. Stupid me. Everything was mixed pretty well too. Mandolin, wow. Awesome.
Kick ass dude.

I love the song only one thing to note that you perhaps have to be more articulate.
Anyway, it's good to hear something different on SA
SallyMusic Says:
I really like this, and I was just thinking that some harmonies would be good (as you know I'm a harmony junkie!), and there they were at the end, I especially like the last chorus. Also, you use a lot of expression in your voice, which is something many fail to do, so well done, and let's hear more singing from you in the future.
Zineb Says:
Great track! It could be better if you add battery and energetic electric guitar playing at the middlle or the end =) But it's still great like that.
AngelsDontKill Says:
Damn impressive with everything! My only thing is with the bongos ... I felt they should be a little bit bigger with a good amount of reverb. That's just my opinion. Everything else could not have been better! Your dad must be proud
JoanMichele Says:
I recognized this! Nice arrangement.

A song with a Christian theme? Heathen! You're supposed to be singing about death and decay and deranged and other d-e words! Didn't you watch the SB e-mail "death metal"?
At least sing about money or something else Pink Floyd sang about! Money, so they say, is the root of all evil today!
Nah, just kidding. Wonderful work. God bless.
