New Song.Not Finished yet., Work in progress

Sometimes, life gets so messed up and you begin to wonder where God is. You know the theology, but really, God. Where are you?!

The words are still a WIP as is the arrangement

Tell Me Why?

Tell Me Why

Verse 1:

Tell me why, do you love me like this?
Tell me why , am I forgiven my sin
After all that I’ve done do you welcome me back
Tell me why?

Verse 2:

Tell me why, do you even persist
When your love is betrayed with a kiss
Was the prize that you gained really worth all the pain
Tell me this

Chorus 1:

This is more that I can ask or even imagine
Stretching further than my mind could even reach
Thoughts too lofty for my mortal mind to follow
Tell me why lord, tell me why

Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why, Tell me why

Verse 3:
This is why, I love you like this
you my child, are worth everything
Yes, the prize that I gained was worth all of the pain
This is why.

Verse 4:

This is why, I will chase after you
Even with all the things that you do
Through you try hard to hide
You belong by my side
This is why.

Chorus 2:

And I know it’s more than you can ask or imagine
Far beyond the reach of mortal minds like yours
But my ways are not your ways, my thoughts beyond yours
This is why child, this is why.

This is why, this is why, this is why x2

Verse 4:

This is why, I come back to you
After all the things that I do
When you died in my place
I’m restored me to grace
This is why.

Chorus 3:

Though it’s more than we can ask or imagine
Far beyond the reach of mortal minds like these
But Your ways are not our ways, Your thoughts beyond ours
This is why, Lord, this is why.

Recording Update

The recording project is still underway and we will be having our next rehearsal on 9th November.

I didn’t realise when I started this just how much work was involved, especially when you are not a band playing the songs together on a regular basis. I’ve also struggled to be able to convey my musical ideas to the talented bunch of people who have given up their time to help me on this.

So the recording itself will, in all likelihood not happen this year, but early next year. I do plan on releasing demos and such from the sessions so you can hear how we are getting on.

Here are few photos, all taken by our drummer/keys/photographer, Stephen.
