Description:
this is a remake of a previous song I had deleted earlier.

Lyrics:
Suddenly life crumbled. I was terrified.
Day and night I cried. Couldn’t even think
My mind was paralyzed.

You came to me and breathed life into my broken mind
Touched my broken heart. You picked me up and then you
Carried me.

I wanna testify
I wanna tell about your love
I wanna testify
Jesus you’ve been so good to me.

There were times I hurt so bad,
I prayed, just let me die.
Life aint worth the pain that I’m goin through

But your love and grace
They some how helped me make it through.
I held on to you and your Spirit wrapped me in your love.

Chorus

You made me strong.
You told me that this road is long.
Said you’d never leave me and you’d take me through.

Lord, this road is rough
I don’t know if I’ve got the stuff.
You said this road would take me where I’m goin to.
And there’s no stoppin now.

Chorus.

I surrender all my hopes and dreams into your hands.
I give in to you. Lord I trust in you.
Lord you gave your life in hope that I might give to you.
Lord I love you too. And I give all that I have to you.

Great lyrics and oh how I love your vocal work.Your sound reminds me of the 80s band 'Go West'.Is this all you?Lots of wonderful elements here to focus on,but without a doubt your proclaiming the Lord Jesus is what speaks the most to me personally.No doubt a very fine piece of songwriting,performance and production that was much enjoyed.

Blessings,

not a religious man perse, but i know great music when i hear it. your meter is fantastic. the way you wrap the lyrics around the melody take skill and years of doing it, and i am very impressed. your range is great. the uppers in the chorus are just enough, without being over the top, which is my bread and butter. i got lucky and happened upon this post, and i am better for it. this is contemporary jazz/pop at it's best, worship based or not. keep going, and i am glad you started recording again. you have way too much talent to sit idly by.

Very, Very nice.... You've convinced me that your a believer.
And you've put this together well, isn't it amazing what you
can do with a computer...
The dynamics of this song are strong, and rooted in the
old school with R&B horns a Rocky Grove and a real
good feel on the Vocals, makes this track something to be
proud of...... And I'm sure he's listening.

I...........LIKE IT..........
