Sunday Turns

Worship. It's not just for Sunday morning anymore. I've often wrestled with song selection for my next record... Should I write corporate worship songs for Sunday morning because I'm a worship leader... Or should I write personal worship songs for every day because I'm a worshipper? I think the answer is YES. A line in one of these songs has inspired me to write a record called “Sunday Turns”… Here are some of the songs I’ve written to this point. I’d love some feedback. Most of these are new since arriving in Georgia but I will likely want to revamp a couple of oldies. *These demos were recorded…one take, one mic, one guitar and one voice...into our church’s sound board.

On Which We Stand

(Got a new title idea for this one?)

I wrote this one immediately following a Men's Breakfast I had attended. The topic of discussion was life post-911. They were all talking about the fear they experienced. They went on to talk about the rerouting it had enforced on many of their dreams. I began to feel like everyone was giving up on the hope that God would overcome the threats of the enemy, whether they be unrest, financial failure or terror. In a brief moment of spiritual swagger, I wanted to shout, "I will NOT build my future upon the sand of these threats. I will build my future upon the Rock of God's promises...which WILL endure...forever." I didn't stand up and shout...but I DID go write this song.

LYRICS
The Earth was made by You - Days and seasons, too / And it is in You that we live and breathe and move / Wars will rage it’s true – this is nothing new / And even though the nations rage – we will hold to You /// For your promise will endure / And your Kingdom will not falter / Salvation comes from you alone / So we will hold to You / For your promise will endure / And your Kingdom will not falter / The Hope of Glory – Jesus Christ our Rock / On which we stand /// So we will carry our fears about tomorrow and lay them at Your feet / And we will stake our lives on nothing less than You
