Christian song - Save the Family - 03/29/17 03:23 PM
SteveS is one fantastic Christian poet and in fact is in the process of assembling his poems for his first publication. He wrote this for a song. BobH and myself put the music together and Steve sang it.
This started in BiaB style -PO128-1 and BobH was playing the acoustic guitar while SteveS was quietly singing the song. But the headphones died early in the song however I waved to the guys to keep going. Unfortunately the final tempo not only varied but with the held chords Sonar with Melodyne could not produce a correct tempo chart. So I had to add everything freeform.
BobH is playing the acoustic guitar. I did an audio to MIDI conversion and added a zither to the guitar. I add everything else via my wind controller and keyboard controller.
We hope you like it.
Save the Family
Save the Family
Lyrics and vocal by StephenS
Background tracks by BobH and MarioD
Yet another young person is killed
At the hands of a empty soul
Both of these lives are gone
Their family suffers the toll
A father steals to feed his family
From God, he cannot hide
If he'd given his heart to Jesus
Jesus would surly provide
There are so many lives in turmoil today
Is it because, We forgot how to pray
Satan is so happy, when things go "his way"
So many end up, with his "hell to pay"
In all of my years
What I've seen that has changed
The lords become optional
Isn't that strange
Family's were strong
When we prayed everyday
Now family s are week
And the further we stray
With no moral compass
We have nothing to hide
We mistreat our neighbor
And still we feel pride
We can turn our backs
On a brother in need
So we can have more
Satan named that "greed"
So many have become blind
Or they, choose not to see
There is only one way
To end all this misery
We must put Jesus first
In our lives, everyday
And go back to the old way
And "relearn" how to pray
Let us love our neighbor
As we love ourselves
Let us put all of our sadness
Back on satan's shelf
Let us return to the days
When family's were strong
Let us pray to the Lord
That we all get along!!
