The lyrics come from a the book of Psalms 56:8,the verses from a sermon by a friend and the breakdown from a local headstone with a Spurgeon poem.Hope you enjoy .

There's an elegant complexity in this that I really admire. Great work! Windows 11, Intel Core i5-8600T 2.3Ghz, 16 gig ram, BIAB 2025 MegaPak, Kontakt8, Oxygen49 Kybd, Neewer NW-800 mic

I enjoyed your psalm in a pop style! Robert
