This is the first time I have ever posted a song with no BIAB tracks and it will probably be the last, but I gather some people are interested in this type of music and it might be just as fitting for today as the day my brother DJ Coles and I wrote it with our other brothers Ross Wright and Dan Shepherd a few days after 9/11.
DJ is the guy in the black jacket and it might be obvious which one is me, in the Beatles jacket.
There has been some discussion as to how do you do Praise and Worship/Gospel. This is how. Quick story. We wrote this song, and DJ took it to Nashville, walked into the offices of the largest Christian Publisher and asked to see Barry Weeks. They said no one got in without an appt and asked him to go away.
Then Mr. Weeks walked out of a studio door and asked him what he wanted. DJ started singing this song. 10 Minutes later he was sitting in a room with Mr. Weeks doing a rough demo. This is the final cut.
Every time I hear DJ sing these lines, I get goosebumps. Every time. "Will you sing with me? Will our love be free? Will we finally break these chains?"
Prayer For America
https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs3/prayer-for-americaV1.
Can a nation heal
can a nation feel
all the things it left behind?
Can a nation be
can a nation see
what it’s maker had in mind?
Chorus:
God I promise you
that I will live my life
for the one who died that day
and I will trust your love
and it will be enough
to heal
this broken place
V2.
Can I say a prayer
for America
will that finally be okay?
Will you sing with me
will our love be free?
will we finally break these chains?
Chorus:
God I promise you
that I will live my life
for the one who died that day
and I will trust your love
and it will be enough
to heal this broken place
