Morning all, tried this for the first time this Sunday and got a good response so thought I'd post it up to hear some thoughts from the Pro's! It's a live Sunday recording so go easy!

Hi Chris
Nice job here... I think congregations would pick up on the tune pretty quickly. Just a few points:
1) 'All of my days' in the chorus seems a little disconnected from what's gone before. What are we doing all of our days?
2) The perspective of the song changes in the chorus from 'I', 'me' to 'we'. I don't mind it at all, but just thought I'd point it out.
3) The bridge is similar to the one found in 'Highest and Greatest' so it would be good if you could maybe change this?
4) Is 'we crown you with praise' a biblical concept? I know I've heard it in a few songs before but I can't think of any scripture to back it up.
Hope some of the above is useful!

Hi
this is a really good song.
just a few suggestions
how about
The oceans and the seas are yours or (the mountains and the hills are yours)
Declaring your Glory
we will respond to your call
Proclaiming your mercy
and
You are far greater, than any other
We will sing of your grace
You are creator, author and maker
theres no other name
something like this might make this song more creative. it would make it an even better song.
and take away some of the overused lines used in many of todays worship song.

hi chris,
nice song, simple and clear message
i think some of the lyrics are a bit cliche like the crown you with praise, all of my days rhyme
it might be worth trying to think of new ways to say the same thing.
ill join their anthem of praise is agreat tho.
GOd bless,
gav.
