have you ever...

So, I've decided to share some of my songwriting demos with the ragamuffinwriter readers out there. Now you're not just ragamuffinwriter readers, you're ragamuffinwriter listeners! Feel free to download and burn and share and all of that good stuff.

Not all of the songwriting demos will be of a very high recording quality. A few were recorded in a studio. Most are recorded in my closet with an old laptop, free software, and a $9 microphone.

The first song I want to share with you is a little number called "have you ever...". I had the privilege of recording this one at Posey Hedges' very nice studio in beautiful Midtown Memphis.

Cool! Now I can say I am related to a famous singer/songwriter, can't I??? And one thing I really want to hear on a recording is you singing that song that you sang to Brandi at your wedding!!! I've been wanting a taped version of that since the day I heard it, but can't seem to lay my hands on one! So, would you sing it and put it on here for all the world to enjoy? PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE????

HONEY said...

Lyrics

have you ever...

holy Lord of all, i cannot hide from you
You know what’s deep inside of me
so You must see the fear, the anger and discouragement
of chasing dreams out of my reach
i am broken
i am hurting
be near me

and from the very start, I felt Your mighty hand
leading me to Your higher ways
and I’m not a slave to sin, but i’ve failed You time and time again
and I have nothing but Your grace
i am struggling
but I am growing
move in me

and have you ever felt the pain
and have you ever wished the sun would never shine again
then have you ever heard Him say
be still and know
that I am God
I’ll show you the way

so Lord, renew my strength, and breathe upon me now
and give me grace to bear this load
‘cause I know only You could put this fire in me
and You will not forsake Your own
i am willing
You are able
carry me
