This is my latest song, and although it's not in that Southern Gospel style, I was excited when it all came together.

God You Are Good
https://on.soundcloud.com/RwQNnh2yUQpdSKCT8

Chprus:

God you are good, you've been so good to me,
you paid the price on a cross at Calvary.
You picked me up when I was down,
and placed my feet on solid ground,
God you are good, you've been so good to me.

I'm so unworthy, of your grace and your love,
the bible say, you prepared a mansion above.
We will walk on streets of Gold,
and visit with all of the saints of old.

God you are good, you've been so good to me,
you paid the price on a cross at Calvary.
You picked me up when I was down,
and placed my feet on solid ground,
God you are good, you've been so good to me.

When I get to heaven, I know I'll see my mom and my dad,
and I know they'll tell me, of all the blessings they've had,
Oh, I can't wait to see that place,
but most of I want to see you face to face.

God you are good, you've been so good to me,
you paid the price on a cross at Calvary.
You picked me up when I was down,
and placed my feet on solid ground,
God you are good, you've been so good to me.

God you are good, you've been so good to me,
you paid the price on a cross at Calvary.
You picked me up when I was down,
and placed my feet on solid ground,
God you are good, you've been so good to me.

You picked me up when I was down,
and placed my feet on solid ground,
God you are good, you've been so good to me.

Ronnie, super song! No, not Southern Gospel, but still sounds just like you. Superb vocal arrangement as always. Like your rock band and that repeating lead guitar arpeggio lick. It all sounds great, and I'm excited that you're excited. Welcome back!

Well composed and presented, Ronnie. It may not be Southern Gospel, but it is highly inpirational. It's like a song that happiness makes you sing it out loud with passion. I like the harmony. Really well done. The a capella part with the respnding lyrics is so good and the perfect way to add dynamics.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi, Ronnie.

You always write solid, musical songs.

Here, you've got upbeat pop, cool harmonies and a catchy melody.

Sounds great!

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

Good song. More of a country rock gospel tune than the SG I was expecting.

Fantastic song Ronnie. I don't get a chance to get onto the forum as much as I was once did. I was literally thinking that it would be good to hear one of yours again, so I specifically looked down the page for one you had done. I found this at the very bottom of the first page. I hope I don't upset anyone at moving back up, but gosh, I just had to respond to this song. There's been a lot going on in life for me and my family lately and I could use a pick me up - which is why I was looking for one your songs. You certainly did not dissapoint! It's not necessarily your usual style, but man I'm glad you tried it. I did notice at the very beginning of the song (literally the first second or so) it sounds like you got clearing your throat. Probably easily fixed by editing it out. All in all, this song came out great. And though it may be a different style, it still has that same old Ronnie Fields message and "feel good" feeling to it. Thanks for posting it - just what I needed!
