Weddings, Wine, and Inspiration

So my weekend was busy with the wedding, traveling, and hanging with friends in Charlotte. It was good to catch up with people, dance, and celebrate two people's long-awaited union. Can't say I'm exactly back in my game, ya know feeling like I've found the American groove again or anything like that. Not sure I really want to. It's been hard. But, I will say I woke up this morning early early and felt like playing the guitar, my beautiful taylor I missed. So I made coffee, sat down and started messing around. A phrase had been on my heart for the past few days so I took that and worked with it until I got this new song. Well, after spending the morning at Morningstar, just listening to worship and getting some prophetic ministry, one of the things they said was that this is a new day, a new season, and that I'd be filled with praise and a new grace. I felt this was, is very true. And when I started writing, it was an enjoyable thing, not a burden or a frustration. Anyway, all that to say I'm posting the lyrics and if you pop over to my myspace you'll see a humiliating pic of me after the wedding when I'd had a little too much to drink and the girls' screwed me over that night. ;) And also, for those I've talked to about my plans for Nashville and such I will say that it's a no go. After meeting with Rick and talking to my father, they both sort of gave me the same wisdom. It would be a step back, a no-fit on the armor, that I ought to stay plugged into DP...which I was sort of feeling anyway. If I'm to be sent out by DP, I guess I oughta remain under them, Rick and the rest. So...here are the lyrics, which I hope to do sometime in worship.

You wake me up with a song
You are singing Your praises into my soul
With a kiss you draw me from my slumber
Your holy touch still it lingers

I'll strum this harp with all my heart
Just to catch You God in my song
I'll out strum the things that don't belong
And open up a window to all You are

Prechorus: (which is just me singing craziness)

Chorus:
You make me sing hallelujah
You make me glad just to know ya
for all wisdom, all honor,
all goodness, and power
come from You

Yeah, it sounds cool with the melody....had fun singing it....sang it all day.

i love the taylor because you can be the worst guitar player or just mediocre and it makes everything sound beautiful. :)
