This is my first original praise and worship song called:
"Feel His Love Increase" ...
I have been working on this idea for the last three weeks and I finally finished today 10-20-2019. When I first came up with the lyrics, I emailed them to Ken Canedo who is a professional 'Christian Praise & Worship' song writer and music composer, so he made a few edits and got back to me right away.
I waited a few days before I started the music, prayed over it, and then came up with the guitar parts. Once that was completed I worked out the drums and rhythms, and then finally added the bass using my Fender Squire four string bass. Then came the hard part.
You see I am not a trained singer, and so I can't hold the notes like a professional vocalist, plus I don't have the pipes for it because it is a rare gift, but I imagine someone with a powerful voice singing my new song. Somebody who can really hold those long notes with vibrato, a more opera type singer.
So anyway here is the new song and I hope it brings you joy and peace
Feel His Love Increase
Feel His Love Increase
Once I walked a worldly path, my spirit on the wane
The journey only led me, to sorrow and pain
But when I called to Jesus, I felt Him drawing near
He changed my heart, and cast away my fear
... He cast away my fear ...
Blind inside, I had lost my way
The pleasures of life, made me go astray
He saved me from the darkest night, He shined a light so bright
His yoke upon my shoulder, he made my burdens light
... He made my burdens light ...
Son of man ... Son of God ... Eternal end of days
Bow before His throne, and follow all of His ways
Sing His praise, He fills you up, fills your heart with zeal
Come be still and know that God is real
... and all powerful ...
Beyond every desert flows a spring of living water
Behind every mountain lies a valley of God's peace
I lift my eyes to Jesus ... Feel His love increase
His grace and peace
His sacrifice forgives my sin, He wipes away my tears
I give worship to my Lord, for all my earthly years
I want to grow in wisdom, repent from evil ways
Proclaim His word, and offer Him my grateful thanks and praise
... my grateful thanks and praise ...
Son of man ... Son of God ... Eternal end of days
Bow before His throne, and follow all of His ways
Sing His praise, He fills you up, fills your heart with zeal
Come be still and know that God is real
... God is real ...
Beyond every desert flows a spring of living water
Behind every mountain lies a valley of God's peace
I lift my eyes to Jesus ... Feel His love increase
His grace and peace
