This hasn't happened to me for quite a while, but God gave me a new song on Tuesday. Unusually, it came almost complete in ajust a few minutes. That was always the way I composed in the past but mre recently my songs have come with considerably more birth pains and a long labour.
I will dance began Tuesday morning as I played the piano before my class arrived for registration. After school I once more sat down at the piano and played this nice musical pattern and then the words flowed. I took them home determined to edit them and work hard on perfecting them. However they were already written minus one line and a bridge. So today the song was finished. My worship group at school learnt the song with me and the bridge was written. The recording you hear is a one take after the kids had gone. I can't wait to record it properly.
I Will Dance
by Steve Lowndes
Verse 1:
You hold my heart
You hold my dreams
You catch me when I fall
When days are dark
You are my light
My shelter from the storm
Chorus:
And I will run to you
Into your open arms
And I will sing to you
With all the love in my heart
And I will give to you
My dreams my every desire
And I will dance, I will dance
. . . with you.
Verse 2:
You give me hope
You give me joy
When all I see is pain
You are my strength
When I am weak
You make me new again
Chorus:
Bridge:
And I will thank you
And I will praise you
‘Cause you’re my Lord, Jesus
Chorus:
