Songs

I was reading this Psalm in the Message, and loved the phrase ‘the place of worship’ when it was referring to the sanctuary (v2). It was one of those songs that just came out all at once in about 5 minutes after sitting down with the guitar and scribbling some notes. I quite like the ‘cruisy’ groove that’s going on throughout the song, even if it is a bit ‘hippy’ for my taste normally…

 (I love the treeeeees!) 

I got together with a couple of friends to work on it and we took out some unecessary words to help it flow a bit better. I’ve found that it’s best to be as concise as possible, especially in songs you want people to sing along to, so my lyric editing ability is something I’m always trying to improve.

The song works reasonably well in G, but taking it up to A was helpful for some people.
