I've been trying to write a song forever... today, when I was up at the gorge praying and just sitting over the Columbia, words started... I think if I get to sing in church any time soon, I might try to get the courage up to sing this song I wrote...
Sitting Here.
D
Sitting Here,
G C D
Looking out over the river, the wind brings a tear
G C D
And I know you created me to be here
G C D
And I know that You’re willing to draw me near.
D A
I seek to know You
G D
To know You more and more and more I pray
A
I want Your presence
G A
To shine through me more everyday
Draw me, Lord
Draw me to Your side and protect me
Protect me from myself as I walk this weary road.
Protect me from the dark that seeks to steal my soul.
I seek to know You
To know You more and more I pray
I want Your presence
To shine through me more everyday
Protect me
Don’t baby me but grow me in Your way, Lord
Grow me as You’ve created me to be, Lord
Grow me to a reflection of You
I seek to know You
To know You more and more I pray
I want Your presence
To shine through me more everyday
Sitting Here,
Looking out over the river, the wind brings a tear
Knowing that you created me to be here
Knowing that You want to draw me near.

I've read your poems/songs a couple times now. Didn't respond at first, because I was in a hurry and also wanted to reflect a while. I like them. But I think I would need to hear the tunes that go with them. Let me know when you're going to sing one (or both) and we will try to be there.
OK... I have no clue if I'm going to do a special any time soon or if at all... if I do, I'm thinking about singing the one that starts, "sitting here"...
Hey Jeremy I think I like this one more.I see what you what you mean about obvious rhymes... but the song is good enough so it's o.k. ... I mean here and tear isn't that bad at all and here in near is better than near and tear. Ha ha ha i sound like Emily.
