Filed under: Philippians
This is a song I wrote quite some time ago. I’d been reading through Philippians and noticed that the section in chapter 2 (from verse 5 to verse 11) just looks like a poem or song. After reading some commentaries that noted it probably was something that the early church would have recited (as a creed or song), I thought that it might be good to try to remember. Seeing as I usually remember things better if they’re put to music, I got to work…
I originally had it all as one verse, with the chorus at the end, but after an editing session decided that it would work better as two shorter verses with a chorus in the middle (repeated at the end). I’m still not certain about the first line “…my attitude should be the same…”, as it does sound quite ‘creed-ish’ (as in something we all say together, not the annoying Pearl Jam wannabees), but seeing as that was how I originally imagined this song, perhaps that’s not all bad.
The chorus is again quite simple, but that’s what I wanted it to be.
MP3 demo.
