I Believe In God The Father

You may want to turn up your speakers loud as the mic was very small and went straight into the computer. Also the Chords end up quite squashed so don't rely on them to heavily. Verse 1 G Em I believe in God the father G Em Who created all things G Em Maker of everything G Em That is seen and unseen C D I am Yours, I am Yours Chorus G D/F# And it’s You give me everything Em C And You are the air that I breathe G D/F# And You are all I seek Em C G It’s You, you’re the one, the one I need Verse 2 G Em We believe in you the Son of God G Em You came down from heaven above G Em You shed your blood for everyone G Em Every tribe, nation, every tongue C D We are Yours, We are Yours (Instrumental after the 2nd Chorus for Affirmation of the faith into the Bridge) G D/F# Em C Bridge G D/F# Em C Holy, holy, holy is the Lord This song has taken me the longest time to write, about two years. I had the chorus then and was keen to write a song about who God was to me. I tried many different keys and verses until I found the one I thought was right. When I heard Nick Herbert’s song inspired by the Lord’s Prayer I was keen to write one out of Anglican Liturgy. So the verses are taken straight from the Apostles Creed and the Afirmation of Faith. I wrote the first verse as a personal song and the second as a united congregational verse by using "I" and "We" because I wanted the song to be about who God is to us but also as the Church of Christ united. After the second verse there is an instrumental for the congregation to say the Creed or Affirmation of their faith. I felt this would be good because it can be used by different churches and they could all use a different one which is suited to them. Even though many churches don't use the Afirmation of Faith they may have a church prayer that would also fit. After the Afirmation of Faith is said, “holy, holy is the Lord God almighty who was and is and is to come” is sung or said; instead of this I simply used "holy is the lord" as the focus point or bridge after the instrumental. I feel this song is complete but rough round the edges and could do with tightening. Any input guys? Blessings Matt

It look's like you don't have Adobe Flash Player installed. Get it now.

Hey man, I've gotta say, i really like this song! i think there are a couple of little bits that need slight tweaking like you say! But i think its a really good start! I'm not much for help, but i can tell you what i hear n stuff n hopefully it might help you in some way! first of all, i love the way you go into the chorus, but i think the chorus could do with being a little more uplifting (i like the way you sing it when you repeat it after the 2nd verse) maybe you could do it like this the other times? i dunno. I really like the bridge, but i think maybe you should build up the chorus more to go into it without the instrumental? cos it kinda comes from nowhere as it is now? i love the way you bring the chorus up more and more towards the end with slightly different melodies n stuff! Also the words in verse 1 seem to be a little uneven, i think they could maybe do with being slightly more steady to keep it easily singable n stuff? But i really do like this song, and i wouldn't just say that!! i hope what i've said makes sense and in someway helps you! Keep writing :) God bless, Gaz
Yeah thanks man you pretty much re-emphasised what I was thinking The instrumental inbetween was to simply show where the church could say the affirmation of their faith or the creed and into the Bridge but I totally get that without that it makes sence to go straight in without the instumental. I will get cracking on some tweeking!
ahhh cool sorry man i missed what you said about the instrumental! If thats the case then that could work really nicely, but maybe you could start the bridge slightly different then, like maybe quieter or lower, and then build it up. Its up to you, it could work either way!! Sorry about that man, i will learn to read things more thoroughly!!!
You signed up to the forum! Mr Coombs I am impressed! Very epic of you :-) I think this songs pretty good! Except you should do the bridge 4 times not 3 times! lol! See you soon Matt! Micah
Micah lol U are a total crazy three is more than enough otherwise it becomes too repetitive! Hey have u read what Gazsimonds wrote he's totally right. This songwriting clinic is a wicked resource.
I did read it. And this songwriters thing is brilliant, very helpfull, unfortunatly I'm not brave enough nor good singer enough to put my own songs on here. Anyway back to your song. You know when you hear a drum roll, and your waiting for the climax, imagine it never came. That what listening to your bridge sung 3 times is like! You build your bridge it up with your voice, you can hear it coming, and I'm waiting for the climax but you don't let it come. Seriously! Sing it 4 times!!!! Lol
lol, not to interrupt you guys' domestic! But i must say i have to agree with 'soul strummer', i think 3 times is good, but its an awesome bridge, and that extra time could really do it justice! maybe if u start the bridge the first time like a little quieter and build it more... just an idea! But i don't think it hurts the song for only doing it 3 times!...
*White flag* lol ha ha, ok I give in- I think you're riight starting from quiet and having more makes more sence especially if its leading from a congregation speaking as the loud vocals may not sound excellent.
-Win- I still love this song though mate :-)
cheers mate
