I had not visited your blog in a while (and didn’t know you had two!). Its been good to read some of your writings. I’ve subscribed to you on my newsreader.

I always enjoy looking at other people’s song lyrics. I’m not really a very good songwriter, but occasionally I get a flash of inspiration. I might have a play around with your lyrics and see what comes out. My other problem is time – recording a song takes me at least a month.

Keep writing and keep posting your lyrics. I feel there is great potential for collaborative songwriting through the Christian blogosphere. I came across Abraham Piper’s site yesterday – he has some very promising lyrics as well. (and check out bluefish too)

Rob here from Miscellanies on the Gospel. Just wondering…do you craft music just for the songs you write? Or do you do it for other songs also?

The following two are ones that I wrote and posted to my Gospel-Centered Resources” blog site (www.gospelresources.blogspot.com). Check them out and see if a tune comes to your mind. I already sing them in a tune I wrote…in my head that is. But since I’ve got no way of getting that tune to you, I thought perhaps it may be better for someone with more skill to do it…that is if you think it’s worthy of your time. THanks bro. I continue to enjoy your blog so much…thanks for the time you put into that as well.

“Show Us Your Grace”
http://gospelresources.blogspot.com/2005/02/gospel-songs-show-us-your-grace.html

The chords are fairly simple:
F#m E F#m E
F#m E F#m E
A B
C#m A (or F# last time)
F#m E A E
I play G# basses on some of the Es for interest

They’re all fairly jangly open chords on the guitar:
F#m E A C#m B F#
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
2 1 2 6 4 3
4 2 2 6 4 4
4 2 0 4 2 4
x 0 x x x x

One question though – do you have the chords that you used written down?
