One and Only (In Everything)

You're there in every whisper of the wind
You're in the sunrise as the day begins
You're there in every high and every low
You're in the tears of joy and of sorrow

You are our God
the One and Only
Who gave His Son
To make us Holy
Redeemed our lives
Though so unworthy
So we could live
To bring You glory

You're there in every secret silent place
You're in each step we take and dream we chase
You're there in every strum and hit and chord
You're in our voices as we praise You, Lord

You are our God
the One and Only
Who gave His Son
To make us Holy
Redeemed our lives
Though so unworthy
So we could live
To bring You glory

Saviour
Redeemer
Creator
Supreme
Almighty
Forever
Our Father
And Friend


You're there as Spirit when our hearts cry out
You're in the light of day and dark of night
You're there in every breath and every sigh
You're in each second as the days go by

You are our God
the One and Only
Who gave His Son
To make us Holy
Redeemed our lives
Though so unworthy
So we could live
To bring You glory

As Yet Untitled

Music ringing in my mind
I wish that I could find a place
Could find a place
Without your face
Could find a face, to be

You fill my mind with every thought
I'm analysing and I'll fight
I'll fight for you
Until I'm through
I'll fight for you, to see

If you live each day
Like it's your last
You run the risk of losing
All that's never come to pass

And if you fight to save
What you've never won
You alienate the people
You never had a chance to love

Hearing lyrics in my head
I wish that I was dead
You're dead to me
Why can't you see
You're dead to me, to me

If you live each day
Like it's your last
You run the risk of losing
All that's never come to pass

And if you fight to save
What you've never won
You alienate the people
You never had a chance to love


You filled my mind with every thought
I've analysed it and I've fought
I've fought for you
And now I'm through
I've fought for you, not me



Original Lyrics 2009 bricrane

6 months

No, not my favourite song by Hey Monday, but a song of my own.

It's been 6 months since I said goodbye to songwriting, temporarily. As it so often happens, things, thoughts, epiphanies if you will, come to me at the most unexpected times, often the most inconvenient times when a pen and paper are nowhere to be seen and a recording device is inappropriate. That or I'm in the bathroom, drying my hair - that's happened a few times now... And that's how it happened for me a few days ago. Yes, I am writing again. That is to say, I wrote lyrics and have a melody - I'm still working on the arrangement and chords that work best (very backwards really). This might be a once-off; maybe there won't be any more songs for another 6 months... God, I hope not. Please, no.

So, next post is the new piece. As I said, it's really more of a work in progress, but the lyrics probably won't change, except for perhaps the order of verses, which changes each day. Let me know if you like it...
