Going back to my country gospel roots, this is one that I just wrote!!

https://soundcloud.com/ronniefields/i-want-to-hear-him-call-my-name-aloud


I Want To Hear Him Call My Name Aloud

Staring at my TV, at the news of what’s going on,
I wonder how much longer God will wait.
Prices rise and things are tough,
When will he say I’ve had enough?
I’m tired of a world so full of hate.
I hope the time is someday soon,
the bible say, morning, night or noon
He will appear himself on a cloud,
he’ll come to take his children home,
to a place where we’ll be free to roam,
I want to hear him call my name aloud.

I want to hear him call my name aloud,
I want to hear him say you’ve made my proud.
When he says my child, enter in,
you’ve done your best to stray from sin,
I want to hear him call my name aloud.

My friend if you’re wondering, if what I say is true,
just open up the bible and you’ll see.
Look what he has in store for you,
if you’re going to make it through,
to a life with him eternally.
Through gates of pearl onto streets of gold,
with mansions standing there so bold,
such beauty, it is beyond compare.
Wading in the Crystal sea,
that is where I want to be,
with my precious savior in the air.

I want to hear him call my name aloud,
I want to hear him say you’ve made my proud.
When he says my child, enter in,
you’ve done your best to stray from sin,
I want to hear him call my name aloud.

When he says my child, enter in,
you’ve done your best to stray from sin,
I want to hear him call my name aloud.

Nice band Ronnie.
The melody reminds me, a little, of Bobby Goldsboro's Honey.
Classic sound overall.


Cheers

Loved the melody Ronnie. You're writing some great stuff. Really liked that steel lick about 2 minutes in, is that Paul Franklin? I'd love to talk you into noting down the Biab tracks you are using ... I may want to copy some of them some day! Thanks for the post.

Nice one. The production is good with nice clean vocals. A very nicely done country gospel song.

Ray,

I agree with the "Goldsboro" reference. Also, the opening melody/chord progression is very similar to "My Home's In Alabama" by Alabama.

Ronnie...great job...I love the lyrics...great message...I hope we all want that...yes, the melody has hints of some classic songs in it which makes it easy to sing along with...as usual you convey "the message" with great clarity and sincerity in your delivery...I always enjoy your testimony in your music...I liked the real tracks you selected.
