Here is the song I was talking about- it's pasted from Word, but wasn't typed double space, so I don't know what the deal is. Stupid HTML text. Anyway, here it is-
Scorched
You said “I know just where you’ve been,”
“Backslidden, caught in sin”
But I don’t care, ‘cause it ain’t fair
The way my heart’s been worse for wear
So here I am, just a man
Without a purpose without a plan
Tired of seeking for the truth
The flower of faith has lost its youth
How can you tell me I’ve slid so far
When you can’t see yourself for who you are
The accusations of pride you throw at my feet
Are the same demons that have got you beat
You can feed a wasted homeless man
But you look down on me whenever you can
You love the lost and you love the lame
But you can’t love your brother in the name
I opened my heart up and let you in
Let you go where no one has been
You said “I love the sinner, but hate the sin”
Well I must be blind, or have missed somethin’
‘Cause I said “I’m sorry, forgive me please”
I was humbled before God’s law on my knees
How could you say “turn the other cheek” to my face
When you couldn’t do it with live and grace

Aw dammit! This thing is totally screwed up format wise. Whatever, it still is legible. The stanzas (8 lines apiece) were supposed to be separated.
That's ok, David...it's an awesome song!
Thanks. Maybe I'll figure out a way to record it and display it as an MP3 file somehow on the blog. But my MP3 player, the only thing I have that can record stuff, is broken :( .
I'll try to see if I have something that can help you out, would LOVE to hear this!

"Scorched" is going through a serious revision right now, because I finally tried to sing the whole thing the way I had intended, and either I'm REALLY out of shape OR it's too wordy, because I get out of breath trying to sing it!
I need to pare some of the lines down and rearrange the lyrics so they're a little coherent. The problem is that changing the number of lines per measure messes with the instrumental aspect...even writing simple songs like this one is not easy.
I know, people think music must be easy to write, but it isn't... I've done one or two songs myself... and you see how motivated I am to do another one!
If you are feeling moved to do this though do it... and I'll be praying for the final outcome.
Hugs & Love
