The Beat of the Lord

What is that I hear?
What is that music?
I want to dance to the beat
The beat of the Lord!

Nothing greater
Nothing better
Nothing cooler
Than the beat of the Lord!

I like what I hear.
I like that sound.
I like that beat
The beat of the Lord!

Nothing greater
Nothing better
Nothing cooler
Than the beat of the Lord!

I want it to continue
I want it to persist
I want it to never stop
I want the beat of the Lord!



Oh, and on my previous post, there is also a song.

Man, you are so good at writing songs. Did I mention before that you should form a band? Seriously, you should find some musical talent to add to your talent of words. I can seriously see these songs you write on the screen in my youth group during worship! Just something for you to consider. biggrin

Yeah I know, my step-brother is in a band, but they are not a Christian band. My dad plays music at my church and probably could write music to these songs, but he would only play the guitar and I would have to do a drum beat on my own even though I am not good at the drums.

Claws

Darkness wrapped its claws around my heart, and sunk them in, so painfully. I didn't even know it. I didn't realize I had pushed You away until it was too late, and my life became hell. My love became tainted with physical lust...My pride made me hide my own faith...and I was lazy beyond human comprehension...My heart was full of lies, wrath, distrust, and malice, I would lash out at anyone at anytime for no reason.
Then one day, I woke up in tears, crying and pleading for you to bring me back to life. I had died inside as my spirit was starved, choked by the claws that sunk into my heart...
Many events took place...many things caused me to break...My soul fell to its knees and sobbed into its hands. My spirit sat in a corner, curled up in a ball, weeping at its own defeat. And my flesh stood and laughed at me in mockery.
Then, You came. You wrapped me in your warm embrace, all at once you healed my soul, fed my spirit, and put my flesh back in a cage.
You tamed my anger, made me humble, and clensed me of my sinful ways. Now I write this praise to You. Thank you for pulling those claws from my heart.

Thanks for sharing that poem of praise. It really shows the power of Christ and how nothing is too wild for Him to tame. It shows His love, grace, and embrace. I'm sure it applies to every christian's life. It's got a lot of good figurative language and it really has good imagery. (sorry...I just had a poetry unit in English and it was focused on figurative language and imagery... sweatdrop ) Thanks again for sharing that! biggrin

Well you could hold band auditions, like a lot of bands do. That way you could find some really good people in each area. Do you have any musical talent at all - can you sing, or play any instrument? If you aren't very musically gifted, you could be the guy who records the music and puts it all together and that kinda stuff. I forgot what that position is called....but anyway, that's just some stuff that you can keep in mind if you actually want to go that far. 3nodding

Wow I really like the energy in your songs, Link! (May I call you Link? xd ) It's good to have enthusiasm when you're worshiping. Do you have music written for those or a beat? Cause it would seem that you do. I don't know why, it just feels like you have a musical or rhythmic thought behind your words. *Starts singing* Yo ho ho and a bottle o' jo a christians life for me.... xp

Today I took a walk and I walked over to a forest. I took my bible with me, as I planned to read it sometime when I was in the forest. It was a mostly cloudy day, and it looked like it could rain at any minute, but it didn't while I was walking. I eventually found a spot that was nice and cozy and I read some of 2 Corinthians. After I finished reading, I felt so inspired. I knew God was right there with me, and I could feel Him. As I was walking after that, the wind really started picking up. The clouds seemed slighty darker, and it felt as if the sky was doing it's best to hold back the rain. Then I started singing some random stuff about that....and it eventually formed into something, and then I wrote it down quickly.

It goes like this:

(Untitled Currently)

The wind is howlin'
The trees are shakin'
Clouds are formin'
Rain is comin'

And it's so beautiful.
And it's so wonderful
To see what God has made,
To see His world in play.

The sky is darkenin'
The air is hummin'
Thunder's rumblin'
Rain is pourin',
Now it's pourin'

And it's so beautiful.
And it's so wonderful
To see what God has made,
To see His world in play.

Even though the sun is gone
And even though I'm soakin' wet
And even though it's all a bit frightnin'
I still love to think that

It's so beautiful.
And it's so wonderful,
To see what God has made,
To see His world in play.


It never rained or thundered when I was walking....but I think it's all good. xd

Very good. You accidentally spelled clouds like this: coulds.
But yeah, it is very good.

I showed my dad all my songs that I had completed and he said that they were good. He is currently thinking of tunes to put to it.

Here is another song:

Nothing To Own


I had no power, no light, and no place to call a home
No possession to call my own
I was there, all alone
Until one day His power was shown

A man with holes in His hands
Came to me up from the sands
He said His Father owned all the lands
And that all my problems, he understands

This man gave me some power
He told me about his final hour
And I say, with him you can't go sour
And He is taller than the tallest tower

The man turned reallly bright
And he vanished from my sight
From that day, I knew I'd fight
To help his father spread the light



I rhyme way too much; I have to stop, at least stop rhyming every line.

Oh crud! *quickly fixes spelling error* Thanks for telling me about that! sweatdrop

It's great that your dad is working to put music to your songs! When you become famous, I'll buy all of your cd's. 3nodding You'll just have to tell me what your band name or what your name is when you get famous. xd

I really like the whole storyline thing going on throughout the entire song. Also, the imagery is nice too. It's nice, just like all the rest! biggrin
PostPosted: Mon Apr 03, 2006 8:26 pm


Yeah, thanks. I pray to God that I will get famous, but I always end by saying, "But if it is not your will, then don't let me become famous."

I was watching "The Wedding Singer" and I liked the pace and rhythm (it is the song that he sings on the airplane near the end of the movie), so I decided to write a song with a pace/rhythm close to that of the movie.

I Need You, I Want You

Lord, I want you, I need you
Everything I want I have in you
I want you, I need you
Everything I get I get in you

Lord, I need you, I want you
Everywhere I go your there with me
I need you, I want you
Lord, you are there for me

Your all that, I wanted
You even went over the limit
Your all that, I needed
Your greater than everything in this world

Lord, I need, I want you
