A christian song that I wrote, I am singing this version, early, my son Corey will sing and record his version next. He will use it for live performances in churches in the area. BIAB had all backing tracks on this except me and the peavey vypyr plexi model doing some lead. I will turn this in on SongTradr for the Christian songs they are looking for. https://soundcloud.com/cliftondykes/on-a-hill-near-jerusalem-master-edit-1-export-1 Thanks for the listen and thanks BIAB for all the great studio musicians involved. I used shining.sty praise & worship shining pop all instruments on this. I have backing track also on sound cloud for anyone who wants to use this in church in key of "c".

Lyrics
On a hill near Jerusalem, many years ago
A man was speaking to a crowd, gathered down below
He was telling of Jehovahs love, which needed to be heard
and the power in his voice, made them cling to every word

On a hill near Jerusalem, Jesus spoke aloud
raised his hands to his Father, surrounded by the crowd
On a hill near Jerusalem,the Son of God did stand
delivering a message to be heard by every man

(instrumental)

It's easy to deny him, and scoff at every word
close the ears and mind, so that nothing can be heard
but many years ago, the Word came down to earth
Glory to our God, for the child of Mary's birth

On a hill near Jerusalem, Jesus spoke aloud
raised his hands to his Father, surrounded by the crowd
On a hill near Jerusalem, The Son of God did stand
delivering a message to be heard by everyman

Repeat Chorus

Cliff

Clifton, This has that great country feel that fits your vocals to a T. Good balance on the instruments and a fine job singing. I liked it, Tom

Clifton,

I could have sworn I commented on this before. I'm almost certain...

A good "Christian write"... Nice use of "the BAND" and a vocal with soul...

Well done.

Thanks for the comments folks, yes my son Corey does a lot of the singing on our songs, we go as "Southern Fried" on Soundcloud and other accounts. You can hear his vocals on the lead of many songs that we do. We both are big classic country fans. He handles keyboards, drums, bass synths etc. I handle the guitars parts.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Cliftond,

This is nicely done. If I had any suggestion it would be that, to my ear--and hey, it’s all subjective right?--there could be some more differentiation between the verse and chorus—the harmonies help, but I don’t think go quite far it enough. Maybe some more instrumentation or a subtle shift of melody? Love the instrumental and accentuation guitar licks throughout. And the lyrics are very strong.

I’m just an amateur player and writer, so please take my comments with a big boulder of salt. On the whole, very well done.

All the best,

Deej
