  • Thanks Derek.

    I am glad you enjoyed it.

  • Nice work!

  • Yeah.  This one turned out pretty good.  It's based on the book of Job so I can't take all the credit.  ;)

    It's one song my wife doesn't mind me playing.

  • Great lyrics/poem/epic story.   Be proud of this one.  

  • Thanks James and Uncle John for you kind comments.

    I am glad you enjoyed the song.

  • Very good and inspirational song loved it

    Got the new today,
    It was bad.
    I lost everything,
    I ever had.

    They say,
    “Curse God and die.”
    I can’t,
    Here’s the reason why…

    (Chorus)
    Cause
    I’m taken,
    I’m spoken for,
    You have everything,
    But my heart’s the Lord’s.
    I’m taken,
    I’m spoken for,
    You have everything,
    But my heart’s the Lord’s.

    My servants and livestock,
    All are gone.
    My friends sit and wonder,
    What I’ve done wrong.
    My sons and daughters,
    All are dead.
    I will not curse,
    But praise God instead.

    Chorus

    We accept the good from God,
    When it comes.
    If there’s trouble,
    How can we turn and run.
    The Lord gives,
    And He takes away.
    I will praise Him,
    And humbly say…


    (Chorus)

    Life is rough,
    Life is sad,
    But it’s the only life,
    I’ve ever had.
    When life gets rough,
    I’ll turn to You,
    And You’ll remind me,
    I’m just passing through.

    (Chorus X 2)

     

  • That is just wonderful.   My only suggestion would be to show those good lyrics - although I could understand you well.   I really liked that.
