This was a song I wrote during a really hard phase in my life and recorded it during an even harder time. I really feel it expresses so much of my experience and relation to God in these few minutes. Hope you like it.
Your Name
And I’ve been told to know your Name
To see your Kingdom inside my veins
But I’m away from heavens grace
I’m a sinner in disgrace
But you have found me and gave me peace
To feel your kingdom built in me
I’m your son and you are my God
And you have seen me when I was done
So you did take me and pulled me up
to give me new life.
I have full trust but also not.
I fear your calling in my life.
I hate those people that call you Lord
But the truth is, that they are wolfs.
You gave me love, that they stepped upon
And I lost trust from that point on.
Thank you my God, I’ll keep my path
I’ll be your laborer for every task
But stay with me and keep me straight
Let all the stones strengthen my legs
It was an amazing experience, how i translated my struggles during that time into this lyrics that contain so many things in my personality and relationship to God and the church. I guess the key is remembering our identity and reliance lies on God and on him alone. Our identity is that we are His children even with all issues and struggles of our lives.
I also recorded the song for an online event using my looper and adding all instruments on the go. This was during the Covid 19 Pandemic and the song was written and recorded during 2019 before the breakout of the pandemic.
Enjoy!
