3 Original Songs!

 Today I have 3 VERY exciting videos to show you.... 




This is a song that I wrote just this afternoon that I really like. I understand that it's shaky still (especially vocally) but I felt compelled to share it. It really just deals with what God has been laying on my heart lately (or at least part of what He's been saying to me). I've just felt so much being laid on my heart just in the last few days and it's been such an answer to prayer. So this is basically my reaction to that.
Lyrics are as follows:

I am in awe of your mercy

You have spoken grace over me

I am at a loss for words

You have given me more then I deserve

Perfect love casts all fear out

Perfect love sets captive free

Perfect love is the gift that You’ve given me

Speaking softly speaking plain

You sing heaven’s sweet refrain

Further up and further in

To Your very presence

Lovely lovely

Pour it all down at your feel

Holy Holy

You judge righteously

"Clay Man" is a song I co-wrote with my dear friend Channyn the same day we did our photo shoot. I am so happy with this song and love it to death! She did a great job with the lyrics and I was happy with how the melody/music turned out. I am finding that I absolutely LOVE to collaborate on songwriting. It gives some variation from what I would normally do.


Lyrics:
Breath into me the breath of life
Shape me to Your imagination
Wet down my clay and let the old me melt
Then pick up the pieces and let me try again with You

Oh I once was a hollow clay man
Living without a soul
But then You wet me down and reformed me by Your breath
Oh I once was a hollow clay man

One day I was roaming around the road
Aimlessly searching for something to take off my load
You pulled me over and shared with me a secret
You told me I was ill


Oh and I'm sure you are now quite sick of hearing me sing... but... just in case you can take one more song... 



"Over Now" is another one that I wrote a month or two ago that doesn't really take any explanation. Here are the lyrics: 

My white flag is raised

All my shots have been shot

I’ve even tried to run away

The battle’s been faught

The war has been won

Every once of me overrun

Nothing more left to do

Then lift my hands up and admit that it’s over

It’s over – it’s over now – yeaaaah

I give up – I confess

That I’ve lost this war that’s been raging

And all of my walls are knocked down and it’s over now

I knew I’d never win

That you remain undefeated

But I thought that I’d be different

Yet here I am crushed and broken

Why did I dare run away?

Defy the holy?

Cause I melt like putty in your hands

Those hands that made me
