Collections

Song Collections

Ok, so I’ve been trying to get a focus on song-WRITING, and here’s what I’m hearing/sensing/feeling from the Lord:  WORK on three collections of five songs each, some of which are fairly well along and some barely more than hand-written chord sheets.  My aim is to get both the scores and some decent recordings of each song done within a year, which would be the most productive I’ve ever been and a miracle that will have to be driven by God’s hand.  Like I’ve said, though, this blog is more for myself to encourage myself than anything else, so here’s the PLAN chiseled in stone for me to look back at once in awhile (prayer appreciated if you’re so inclined):

A.  Five for Israel - A collection I’ve felt I needed to do for a couple of years now, just haven’t gotten very far on it.  I plan for any proceeds from the sheet music to be added to monthly contributions we already make to the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews
1.  Grand Procession (The Coming of the Lord)
2.  And Then You Look (Holy One of Israel)
3.  Clap Your Hands and Sing (Jehovah Rises)
4.  Tabernacle
5.  Come, Glory, Dwell
B.  Walking With the Lord - probably these five songs, possibly subject to change:
1.  How Much More
2.  Me and the Lord
3.  On the Mountain By the Sea
4.  Do You Think I Remember
5. We Were On the Mountain (He is the One)
C.  Five (?) for Grace- Still forming, but the “anchor” songs are these two:
1.  Every River
2.  Speak Forgiveness
