Post No. 24

It turns out that I'm a thief. Yep, I'm a song stealer. I didn't know it but I took lyrics from a real recorded song and made a melody and then made it into a new song. Last week a friend of mine, wrote these profound words of that song and posted them online. I read it and was really moved. It was an honest acknowledgement of who God is in a persons life. I thought wow, this right here could be a song(didn't know it already was, at least the chorus of it). Even wrote more lyrics and a bridge to complete it. So I called my friend who posted them, and told about how I was inspired by the words, which lead me to write a song I called "Here To Forever". Yeah, I found out that I have to do some rewriting now. But at least I found a new melody! I've discovered a lot of new melodies, sounds and rhythm lately. I ran this morning and a found certain sounds of beats in the cars passing by. Later I rode my green mountain bike(one tire is now bent and out of service for now) and heard the sound of swings going back and forth and a group of people playing baseball. I hear many sounds. But only one is amplified above all. Habakkuk said it well when he heard it. Out of the Old Testament it reads:
"I heard and my heart pounded, my lips quivered at the sound; decay crept into my bones, and my legs trembled." Habakkuk 3:16
That is a sound that drives out doubt with truth and one that rattles through our cages. Grace and glory is a sound that broken noise can never drown out. The amazing grace of the living risen One.
THIS IS THE SOUND!

With sound on my mind, I realize that I'm in desperate need of a new electric guitar, by the middle of May...next month. My dream guitar is one I described in an earlier post, a red Gibson SG with Humbucker pickups. Oh well...Someday.
