Hey
This is my first post on Worship Central...
This song has been going down very well at Church, and I would love some feedback!
The recording is a simple home job!!
In the key of D
As I come to You again
I lay down my rights
And fall at Your feet
And Loose myself in You
Nothing can rival You
My Joy, my Crown
You are the King of Glorious Light
You're My God
You are Great
And I will always stand in awe of You
You're My King
You reign
You're the father of astounding grace
You raised me up
You set me free
Yes You are the Hope in me
You raised me up
You set me free
Yes You are the Strength in me

Hi Lara,
Really good first post! Enjoyed listening to that a lot. Nice simple recording. Easy melody to pick up with some nice melodic hooks.
Lyrically I just have some small suggestions.
A lot of your lines being with "weak" words - you, and, yes. Not only are some of these rushed through to get to the next word (like "and fall" in the third line), but is means a delay in getting to the meat of the lyric. They're best missed out or changed, I think. So for example:
I come to you again
Laying down my rights
Fall at your feet again
And lose myself in you
It would also be helpful to remove the pauses between You are/the king of/glorious light so that that line scans more easily. It's a little difficult to pick up at the moment.
The chorus would be stronger I think wthout as many lines starting with you, for example:
My God, you are great.
I'll always stand in awe of you. (Remember that in the verse you've fallen at his feet - it's probably best to keep the imagery consistent within one song)
My king, you reign...
But these are all minor things. Good job!

Very nice indeed (you have an AWESOME voice.)
I can't say much to add to it becuase i think it's really good. But looking at Paul's comment what he is saying could be benifitial. :)
Good job, please add more songs; your super :D

Hey Laura,
I really like your song, the chorus is really great, however, I think adding the word 'and' to 'You reign' would make the lyric scan better as a congregation would find it easier to pick up as there would be the same amount of syllables in each line then. I also think trying to iron out the quick 'are' on 'you are great' so it is sung a little straighter would also help.
Other than that, great song. God has given you a beautiful voice also!
Hope this helps. Looking forwards ot hearing more from you.
Nick
