Like the title states: A throwback from a totally different world and time! Sam Cooke, Percy Sledge and others... Hopefully y'all enjoy a change of pace, albeit a slow pace.

"Closer to Your Light"

Verse 1
As I walk though darkness
Please hear me when I pray
LORD I pray for your protection
Let my heart not be afraid
Through the thunder and storms
And all the rains that may fall
Give me an unshakable faith
You will see me through it all

Chorus
Carry me from this wilderness
And the bitter cold of the night
Lead me far from this darkness
Closer to Your light
Ummmm
Closer to Your light
Where my soul belongs
Closer to Your light

Verse 2
Let me be a righteous man
Oh, but if I ever fail
Please be merciful and strengthen me
So that I might prevail
So even in the darkness that I see
Your light's not far away as it appears
I know that He who is within me
Is greater than anything I fear

Chorus
You will carry me from this wilderness
And the bitter cold of the night
You will lead me far from this darkness
Closer to Your light
Ummmm
Closer to Your light
Where my soul belongs
Closer to Your light

Chorus
You will carry me from this wilderness
And the bitter cold of the night
You will lead me far from this darkness
Closer to Your light
Ummmm
Closer to Your light
Where my soul belongs
Closer to Your light

Bawb,

A nice "change of pace" musically. Good BAND choices.

Good vocal (as always).

Mix is good.

I was surprised that the 5 minutes did not seem like 5 minutes...

I liked that it was a bit more "gentle" with your message. Soft-prayer-like.

A different world and time just may be the right formula for this world and time!

Well written and performed.

I like it!

Hello, 'Bawb'...

Your expressive, bruised-sounding singing voice packs a lot of conviction! I felt the inspiration of your faith in your performance via your committed lyrics.

The backup singers added even more soul to the sound of your production.

Also, your Real Track selections served your lyrics quite well.

I really enjoyed the vocals that express the powerful emotion of the prayer. The band supports the message, nice combination of the acoustic and tremolo guitars. Nice melody and beautiful bluesy chord progression. I'm sure this would work even better in a live concert.

That is one great vocal performance. You sound like Tom Waits (a complete compliment). The song is even written like a Tom Waits song. Well done. The band really captured the soul too.

Good one.

Bawb...Amen...great vocal...you captured the passion of this prayerful offering with your vocal....loved the track...perfect for the message that was conveyed...Dan
