Song "Bury Me"

[starkindler201]

Bury Me



(Male singer)

It's cold tonight as the sun fades away

The shades of my heart turn to shadows of grey

My life a denial of the right that You gave

And in my hopeless condition Your voice fades away



(Pre-chorus)

But throughout my life I heard You call out my name

You saw my actions and deeds and loved me the same



(Female singer)

A child with broken dreams, slowly slips into the dark

A love he never knew bearing off his broken heart

Lord how could I slip so far astray

To take my own son's life away



(Pre-chorus)

But You saw my plight and you called out my name

Lord please look not upon me, my past is my shame





(Chorus)

But come to me now, Lord please show me how

You came into a man

Lord I cant understand

Every deed and thought and word

A thorn to pierce the one who heard

A mercy so great it can't be true

So please bury me now, my past dead for you!



(Bridge)

My past no longer mine! Your truth alive in me!

I will praise You with this song, and sing with holy certainty

That the love I've come to know comes from the Only Way

And through Your holy grace… my night turns into da-ay!



(Transpose up a key to a dead stop... music starts at "now")



(Chorus) (Change?)

So come to me now, Lord please show me how

You came to die for me

And Lord I can't hardly see

And every song sung on the earth

Could never capture all You're worth

A King who takes on all my sin...

So please bury me now... let me live once again!

Lemme know what you think

Wow! That is a really awesome song, Nathan. I felt like I was reading something David may have written in the Psalms.

Have you put it to music yet? If so, I'd love to hear it.

[starkindler201]

Working on the melody but I have the acompaniment. Think of music sorta like Set Me Free by Casting Crowns

[kg00ds]

Nice. I'll have to read it while I listen to that casting crowns song. I'll write back after I get a chance to do that. P.S. I write songs too. I have written about 150 with my brother. Check em out if you like. You can find them at pure volume under Mark Goodson or check out our local christian music venue which he runs at tbdonline.org.

P.P.S. are you in a band? If so and you would like a gig in Louisiana go to the above website.

Nice Song Nathan! It should really sound good with music! I've been working on some songs with a friend of mine...maybe I'll post one in this forum as well. Keep up the GREAT work!
P.S. I listened to your songs kg00ds. GREAT stuff. Awesome lyrics and accompaniment!
