Writing

I know that I am not the best writer in the world. I feel like I have a lot of great ideas but I have never mastered the English language.  Most of you might know this all too well when you read my blog.  I am a much better preacher than I am a novelist.  Although I do have an idea for a novel…but that’s another blog.

One of my passions before seminary was to write music.  I wanted to get a mac because I heard about garageband which is a program that lets people like me record their music.  I could plug in my guitar and mic in  my computer and record for hours.  But once I started seminary I stopped writing music and started to write theological papers, and sermons.  I spent more time sitting around reading theological books instead of playing my guitar.

As I start to pack up my apartment I came across a folder with my long lost lyrics and music.  I think I will post the lyrics as written on my blog.  My mindset is light years away from when I wrote these lyrics.  I was a Lutheran back then but I did not have as good a handle on Lutheran Theology as I do now.
I hope now I can take some time and work on my music some more– it is something I do miss and want to get back into.

Fall Down

Verse 1:

The sun comes up a little brighter

The stars a little clearer

My soul rests in your grace

My heart delights in your peace

Now that I found you

Now that I found you…..my Lord

Chorus:

You took on my salvation

I lay my worries to the ground

I pray to you my savior

Lift me up when I…….fall down

Verse 2:

My Jesus, My devotion

My creator, my emotion

Your grace baffles me

Your sacrifice has set me free

Now that I found you

Now that I found you…..My Lord
