Hi All,

So this gal who lives down the hallway asked me if I could put music to some lyrics she was working on for her church.
She doesn't play an instrument so she sang it acapella for me and I figured out the chords. I made a few lyric and musical suggestions and then put down some basic tracks. She sang a guide vocal. I added all the BIAB tracks and some of my own guitar and a really cool church choir type ending. I thought it sounded pretty good considering she had come in with an melody in her head.
But she really hated it and said it doesn't sound like whats on the RADIO! Yeah no kidding. I have garage band and its not like I was getting paid yet I put in many hours on this tune! It was a favor!
So much for Be the Love!

Anyway, I tried to make the best of her guide vocal.
Despite her not liking it, I think its not bad. But then again maybe I'm too close to it. Any second opinions on this one?

Be the Love

My Heart beats to your call oh Lord.
My soul thirsts for the truth in your word.
My spirit sings for a chance to rejoice
My being yearns for the sound of your voice.

And all your people are awaiting
to feel the joy of their awakening
as love and peace overcome walls
and worlds betrayed again stand tall.

Chorus
So be the Light
Be the truth
Be the faith that’s been renewed
Be the hope for a better tomorrow

Be the strong for the weak
Be the shelter to all who seek
Just be the love, Be the love.

Love is not cruel it’s patient and kind
It does not envy or boast with pride
Takes no delight in evil or wrongs
Love always trusts and rejoices in song.

And all your people are awaiting
to feel the joy of their awakening
as love and peace overcome walls
and worlds betrayed again stand tall.

Chorus
So be the Light
Be the truth
Be the faith that’s been renewed
Be the hope for a better tomorrow

Be the strong for the weak
Be the shelter to all who seek
Just be the love, Be the love.

Bridge: It’s in our hearts to love so, don’t be afraid to let go.

Outro: Choir sings
Be The Love. Be The Love.


Kind Regards,
