Hi,
Still doing well? Hope so!!
I've always struggled with the tension of writing songs that are both singable (ie by a congregation) and are original (ie not the same three/four chord trick as everything else). That's not because God isn't in the same three/four chord trick, but just 'cos I listen to too much Jazz....
So, here is something that came out in 2003 when I got over my hangups!
Let me know what you think!
Peace

Lyrics:
V1
Far above all earthly things, Lord You reign;
Seated High, Exalted One.
All the power is Yours forever, O Ho - ly God, it’s you we praise.
Ch
The Lord reigns, He is robed in majesty
He is robed in majesty and armed with strength
For His love endures forever and His throne has been established
Eter-nal God, receive our praise.
V2
Let all the earth bow before Your throne
Where righteousness and justice flow.
We’ll shout for joy and proclaim Your worth forever,
O Faithful God, it’s You we praise
Chorus x2
Bridge:
The Lord reigns, the Lord reigns
The Lord reigns, lift Him high.
Andrew Weir, 2003
I love the feel of this song, it sounds like it would be really singable without getting boring.
is this a live recording or a studio type mix? I'm loving the way it builds into "The Lord reigns", good stuff :-)
Could you stick the words up so we can have a read through them?
I really like this one so far.
God bless, Rich

Hi Rich,
This was a studio-esque recording. I layered all the rhythm tracks, got a friend to play some keys and the church worship team added their voices for the chorus bits.
Glad it's been a blessing.
Peace

verse 2 is brilliant, I would be tempted to use the bridge as a chorus as The chorus to me doesn't really feel like a chorus? (thats prob just me though!)
you have a real gift mate. I love to hear your Scottish accent coming through it.
oops double post!
