So Many Times

Back in the day when I was writing in this blog frequently...lol...Here is my latest project, a song titled "So Many Times".  It is a song about how we let our preoccupations clutter our relationship with God.  Sin, business, zeal...you name it we all do it.  I hope you get something out of it.  I haven't yet put it to music, but I think it deserves a R&B theme with a hard rock line...d


So Many Times


so many times                                         Refrain:
we think that God                                    God has His time and place
won't do it                                                to show you which way to go
faith ebbs like the waves                          put your trust in His care
so many times

so many times
"what am I going to do
to get out of it?"
looking for a quick fix

so many times
we try to fill out
our papers
do it now not later
so many times

so many times
"just let me get this done!"
life on the run
so many times

so many times
relaxing in a misdemeanor
God will break your fever
listen to His will


 



 

Everything is Hard

Nothing worth while is easy.  Take my job for instance lol.  But it's true.  I guess I was thinking this when I wrote "Everything is Hard"  for the electric guitar.  I did it in Aminor so it has a raspy kind of finish.  Try it sometime....d


Everything is Hard
       Am
too much trouble
     D♭m           B♭          Em
it seems  like all there is
  Em               Am              D7                                 I
will we ever cease from being tested
   D♭        Am          Em
pain is a tool of God

        Am          D7
the only relief is our slumbers

perils escape in dreams                                                                     I
 
the sweet dawn gives recompense

guiding us for the  Way

          Em            D♭m
your men will dream dreams
            B♭                Am
your children will have vision
           Em
close your eyes
                        D♭m     B♭      Em
and feel the burning of the lamb
           Am
His sacrifice
 D♭m      D7          Em  
He will get you through 


It plays kind of punk but....especially "perils escape in dreams"  and "pain is a tool of God".
The effect is good, though.  Do it as an encore and tell them I sent you lol.

There is a Girl

One day I was sitting in the McDonalds lobby and in walked a pre or post teenage girl Im not sure which.  I thought that she probably had a lot on her mind...who to marry where to work and such.  It inspired a song in me.  I performed it rather rudimentary on keyboards via social media a while back.
Its in the rather pensive key of Fminor....here it is:
     
There is a girl
   F
theres a girl
     G
she gets a drink
    Am
she goes to eat
    C
on a mission

    B♭
works in the sun

Thy will be done
    E♭
Ive just begun
    B♭
theres a girl


theres a girl
will be dating
but keep waiting
theres a girl

getting older
time flows freely
help the needy
theres a girl

autumns coming
look what Ive done
On a mission
theres a girl

kids are trained in
all they have to
and some more too
theres a girl  

I was going to perform it on social media on the guitar, but Id rather live in front of people.  I think Ive made enough videos for one lifetime!
