I wrote both of these within an hour. I went to the park and cranked them out. So they're kinda rough...I haven't touched them since I wrote them.

Both are Christian-themed songs. The first's chorus is actually taken directly from Psalm 30. Which is why it's tentatively titled...Psalm 30. lol


Psalm 30

My heart is breaking
For the things that break your heart
I've seen my sin
I know I can't win
Now I'm calling on You, Jesus
To save me

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing
You have loosed my sackcloth
And clothed me with gladness
That my glory may sing Your praise
And not be silent
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!

I feel you reaching
To draw me out of the mud
You cleanse my sin
Carry me in
So I can stand with You
In glory

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing
You have loosed my sackcloth
And clothed me with gladness
That my glory may sing Your praise
And not be silent
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing
You have loosed my sackcloth
And clothed me with gladness
That my glory may sing Your praise
And not be silent
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!


Song #2...again the title is tentative. This one is written from God's point of view. Based on several verses, but the main idea came from a verse that says God sings songs over His children. I wanted to capture that idea, so this is supposed to be God singing over one of His children.

My Princess

I know the lies you tell
When you look in the mirror
I hold each tear you cry
And I'm drawing you nearer
I'll cast out the lies
Of this world to let you hear
My song of love I'm singing over you

My beautiful, precious little girl
I love you
My wonderful, perfect little girl
I love you
I knew you before you were born
And loved you
You are a daughter of the King
My princess
One day you will see how much
I love you

I know the lies they tell
When they say you're not perfect
I see when you start to believe
You're not worth it
But I called you as My own
And gave you a purpose
Hear the song of love I'm singing over you

My beautiful, precious little girl
I love you
My wonderful, perfect little girl
I love you
I knew you before you were born
And loved you
You are a daughter of the King
My princess
One day you will see how much
I love you

You're beautiful
You're wonderful
I know you and I love you
I chose you to be my

beautiful, precious little girl
I love you
My wonderful, perfect little girl
I love you
I knew you before you were born
And loved you
You are a daughter of the King
My princess
One day you will see how much
I love you

For all eternity, My princess
I love you

I like it. Them.

It does, though, sound a bit off with the verse parts, as they are done in almost an entirely different voice. I dunno. =3=

The... the first one.

I told you I was bad at all things not-fiction. ; __ ;

Aaah ok.

That would probably be because the chorus is a direct passage of the Bible so I didn't write it...and the verses obviously I wrote.

I'll see if I can tweak the verses a bit to make it flow a little better. Thanks for the comment! smile
