Every morning I've been writing a song to captivate the phrases I feel the Lord speaking to me from the scripture, or whatever He chooses to use.
I am thinking of it as a way to be 'unhindered' and 'unleashed'.
As a songwriter, it's so easy to get caught up in honing, rhyming, syllablizing (I know - that's probably not a word) and wondering if it could be a hit or not. Just being honest. And if I want to make a living doing this, I should think about those things I guess.
But I'm wanting to get back to just singing to the Lord without any of these hindrances. Don't get me wrong, they still creep around the corners of my mind, but I must press on and put aside any hindrance!
So here's the one for today: (based on Prov. 22:1,2,4,9, 17-18)
There's more to life than silver and gold
The rich and poor, God made them both
True humility and fear of the Lord
Lead to riches, honor and more
Listen to the words of the wise
Apply your heart to the truth
Keep it inside of your heart
Keep it on the edge of your lips
There's more to life than silver and gold
The rich and poor, God made them both
Being held in high esteem
Gets you more than money could bring
There's more to life than silver and gold
The rich and poor, God made them both
Blessed are those who give away
Give to the poor it's the Kingdom way.
