| | 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" |
