This song is from my Christian album and is based on these verses: Romans 3:10-12, 1 Kings 19:12, Hebrews 1:1-2, 2 Timothy 3:16,Mark 10:28, Luke 9:23, 2 Corinthians 5:17, John 10:27 Romans 6:18, Romans 8:2 and 1 John 2:1-6.

I Gave It All

Verse 1
Love came to me
As I was
I could not go to Him
Yet He came to me

Verse 2
He spoke to me
Gentle words
Come follow me today
And I’ll set you free

Chorus
I gave it all
He cleansed me
Gave me life again
So that I’m free not to sin

Verse 3
Now I can hear
When He calls
His voice I know and I’m sure
He’s always near

Repeat Chorus

Repeat Verse 3

Sonny (and Daniel),

Beautiful! The production on this is gorgeous. Mix, too! The pads are excellent. The piano nestled in perfectly.

Daniel's vocals are beautiful (harmonies, too).

Excellent write. Cool chord progressions...

One of your best!

Obviously, you are done with this... but for future thought...
The very beginning of the song seems "abrupt" (just slightly). The first notes of the guitar solo are REALLY nice. If you could mute the pad (and drums? maybe) until the 3rd note the guitar plays so they come in "more naturally"??? (or something to that effect...). Not to take away from how nice everything in this is...

- the cool idea of building the lyric around Biblical verses

- the production -- everything shines -- perfect soundstage

- the RT selection

- the vocals

Reckon that about covers it smile

Hi Sonny,

great composition. I like the chord progression.
The vocals are awesome, especially the harmonies and the
aah choir. You chose really fitting RTs. Brent is my
favourite anyway.
I enjoyed my several listens a lot.

Sonny,

I tried to listen to this a couple of weeks ago but Soundclick was being uncooperative at the time and I couldn't get it to work properly. Tonight it behaved.

Wow! This is such a beautiful sound.... great chords, great harmony, wonderful vocals. Like J & B, the idea of using biblical verses appealed. I'm also a huge fan of the AABA format. Another top notch effort for the SRP songbook.

Regards,
Noel

A beautiful song. Great production and performance. Brilliant use of the inspirational Biblical verses.

Enjoyed my listen.


Quick fix tip for the abrupt start: Open your master file in any DAW (even Audacity will work well) and fade in the opening. It will smooth the intro.

Thanks Charlie for your kind words and for the intro tip. I have used that technique before but it just didn't dawn on me this time around.

Sonny,

Loved this one! Mr. Hensley sounds a lot like Josh Groban to me, and he's one of my favorite singers. Very lush, great mix. Loved this one.

Thanks Bob, your comments are very appreciated. It's strange that you would mention that Daniel sounds a lot like Josh Groban for Josh happens to be one of his favorite singers. I personally think that Josh has some of the best sound tracks out there for his kind of music. I took one them (because I liked it so much) and made a Christian song out it. Now I will have to pay royalties to use it (glad to do it).

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
