Please let me know if you use this song,
Last Fall I wrote 6 songs in one week (!) while getting ready to perform at the Harbor Vision Art Show. Well, one of them was already mostly done, and four of them are made with stolen lyrics. But still! These so-so demos are recorded with one mic in the sanctuary of Grace Lutheran Church, where Uptown meets. It’s an amazing-sounding room. I’d love to get the whole band in there for a recording session some day, a la Cowboy Junkies Trinity Sessions.
A couple of these may find their way into worship at Harbor in the future, but I’m not sure they all really work for corporate worship. Most of them will probably just be my own private stuff.
Rejoice, Rejoice
Based on lyrics by Joseph Hart (Gadsby, 725 & 787), c. 1768. Music by me, but it’s a pretty standard folk arrangement.
