We wrote this back in the summer of 2010 and recorded using tracks from a different music creation program. But BIAB is so much superior, we decided to recreate with BIAB tracks ... sounds much better! I worked on the music for several days and Di sang it about 20 minutes ago (3:00 pm April 5th). She got it on her second take. She originally did in it Bb but we dropped it to Ab. The ravages of time kicks you in the butt - and vocal cords!

It's a 3/4 Country Waltz with pedal steel leading the way. A;though we like the pedal steel a lot, we are a little disappointed with the couple of pauses it employs. Tried over and over to get a good track w/o the pauses, but just couldn't get anything more acceptable than what we have here.

Di isn't feeling well but wanted to get this done today. So, here it is. Hope you enjoy it.

Call To The Lord


(v1)
When times are troubled, your burden too much
Look up and call to The Lord
If the mountain's too high, the valley too deep
Reach out and call to The Lord
He'll be there to guide you, He'll be right beside you
He'll never deny you, Trust Him and call The Lord

(Chorus)
He'll show you the way, won't let you stray
Help you the river to ford
Safe in His arms, protected from harm
Eternally loved and adored
If you just call to The Lord

PIANO VERSE

(v2)
When you are tempted by Satan's design
Shun him and call to The Lord
Don't be a victim of, those evil plans,
Have faith and call to The Lord
He will protect you, comfort and love you
He asks one thing of you, believe Him then call to The Lord

(Chorus)
He'll show you the way, won't let you stray
Help you the river to ford
Safe in His arms protected, from harm
Eternally loved and adored
If you just call to The Lord
If you just call to The Lord
