Here's a song I've been working on for about the last month or so. It's a christian "praise" song my
brother-in-law suggested I write awhile back. I did get members of the family to help write the last 2 verses when we had a family bible study a couple of weeks ago.

It's all RT's except for some background guitar parts I did after the key change. I've been playin around with the mix for the last few days and I think this one's pretty good. But then again I'm worried maybe the vocals are a little too hot. Anyway, comments are certainly welcome.

Hope you enjoy.

Greg

He Died For You

Chorus

He died for you

And he died for me too

What more could he do

Jesus died for you


You know there will be troubles in your life
Sometimes all hope will seem to disappear
Just look to the Lord he will sustain you
Let his grace wipe away your fear… Because

Chorus

He know's there will be times when you drift away
Some will say you’re gonna have to pay a price
Just look to the Lord he will sustain you
There’s victory in his sacrifice… Because

Chorus

We’re down on our knees he sets us free
You must trust in him in all that you do
Just look to the Lord he will sustain you
No matter the worry he will always bring you thru

The Lord has risen we are believing
A redeemer has created us all new
Just look to the Lord he will sustain you
Jesus knows the plans the plans he has for you… Because

Chorus (x2)

Very nice Greg. I don't think the vocals are too hot - it's nice to hear each word distinctly. Thanks for sharing that.

Josie - Thank you so much... My vibrato thanks you as well.

Bob - Thanks for the listen and the comment. I feel better about the vocal now.

Robert - Thanks for the listen. I have another family bible study tonight... I'm thinking I'll throw the "Waltzing With Jesus" song idea at them & see what happens.

"You could be waltzing with Jesus instead of dancing with the devil",

Hi Greg,

I was just thinking about you the other day and wondering how your songwriting was going! Then, you posted on here.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your song. What really impressed me was the fact that this was a family effort. What a great idea to involve everyone with music and to write a song with such a great message.

All the best,
Noel

Noel,
Thanks for thinking about me, and the listen. I was a little nervous about trying to get the family to participate in writing a song, but it turned out to be fun... plus I think we got a good song.
I've told them to now start thinking about the idea "Waltzing With Jesus"... We'll see what happens!

Mario,
Dude I'm blushing! Thank you very much for the kind words.

Greg
