Piecey, but working

 

This one has some three against two stuff metrically, which I think is cool. Lyrically it's coming in disjointed pieces, I've got holes to fill in to pull it together, but I like the direction it's going.
The concept spurring it "The weight of love" = the cross = light burden (Mat 11:30)
I was thinking about the healthy weight of committment to those we love, that Christ bore for us, then asked us to take up and follow him...

CHORUS
The weight of love, for a humble servant -
The weight of love is a burden light
The weight of love is a life surrendered
The weight of love is sacrifice.

VERSE 1 (first half, anyway)
He who would be first must be last
and a servant of all
None can serve two masters he must choose
Faith and selfishness call

VERSE 2 (second half, anyway)
Servant with whom I am pleased
Who came to teach, in word and deed

BRIDGE?
The weight of love was his alone to bear
The weight of love the cross of Christ we share

CHORUS2
The weight of love was our sin forgiven
The weight of love was a wooden cross
The weight of love was the Father's heartach
The weight of love both gain and loss


Being goofy with verses for "Your Will" right now, but have some nice imagery surfacing too... we'll see where it goes as I continue to work on it...

CHORUS
And I don't know what your will might be
But I know You will reveal it to me
In Your own time, and your own way
You give me what I need for each day

VERSE
I know You numbered every star in the sky
You tell the moon it's time to sleep
and draw the sun from the night
I know You clothe the grass
I know You clothe me
But I wanna know what's next could You reveal it to me?

ANOTHER UNFINISHED VERSE
4 Lines
I know You are the light
You make the blind see
Could You open up my eyes and give me one little peek?


Also would like to try to tackle a re-imagined (not word for word, but content wise) song for the Lord's Prayer.
Another phrase that is rolling around in my brain, "salt in His wounds, tears of the Father, healing our deepest pain"
