Nearly wet myself. Ha-larious.

If you read this blog with any regularity you may be asking yourself, didn’t Kyle write a post about how theologically unsound some of the lyrics from this song are? The answer is, why yes I did write a post about that, I also wrote a post about how much I dug the song as a whole and in order to fix the lyric problem I changed them. Simple yet effective solution.

Your love is our reward, that’s why we ask for more of You

became

You set our hearts desires, that all our lives bring glory to You

Now onto the loop. This loop uses a bass sequence on the verses second the second chorus. It allows room for a live bass player to play underneath without muddying up the mix, but you can decide how you’d approach that or you can catch my bass player on twitter and ask him his thoughts. The arrangement follows the Jesus Culture arrangement as far as order of song sections.

This song has been a long, adventurous process. I didn’t write it as a corporate worship song, it actually came together after some wrestling I was doing with God over Lordship of my life. I spoke in a recent Sunday Set List at length about the background of the song but essentially dealt with me handing over my security to Jesus.

The song is based primarily out of Philippians 1, which was challenging to work out of. The text is supremely rich, just not the most melodic phrases to work with, so it was a challenge but I wanted to use it. This recording is from the 2nd time we ever played it live. There’s plenty left to do with the song arrangement wise, so this is pretty raw but I like to get a picture of where the song is heading first naturally before working on tighter arrangement details, loops and such. I really question my judgment releasing songs publicly that are so early in the process, but getting critique at this point is always helpful.

Lyrics:

Verse:
The passions of our youth, faded into sin
We laid waste to our call, and shame took us in
But you reached out in the night, left ninety nine behind
A dead man you found, filthy and bound
You loosened the binds, and life now I find

Lead me to live, lead me to live (x2)

Chorus:
Adonai, You gave me life
Now lead me in all that I do
Adonai, in this heart of mine
Shape me in the image of you

Chorus-Out 1:
Rejoicing in all things we sing
Christ be honored now
If we live or no longer live

Chorus-Out 2:
To live is for Christ, die is gain
We are not ashamed
If we live or no longer live

True Love by Phil Wickham is truly an amazing song and it’s always been on my short list for songs to loop, but it shot to the top of the list when Easter planning started. Too bad I started planning late because this loop took me forever. It was quite challenging for me to arrange mostly due to the fact that there’s going to be some art and drama elements done while playing it, so I had to create some space for that. The version released here closely follows the recorded arrangement (parts not instrumentation) once you get past the intro.

This past weekend we had Ryan Delmore out to lead worship for our Anthropology Men’s Conference. Ryan did an incredible job and was a huge blessing for our men. Ryan also stayed and led worship for our Sunday service and our entire congregation was so blessed and honored to have him. Everyone entered in right away, sang their guts out even to songs they didn’t know. It was a privilege for my band to play with Ryan and we had a blast hanging out with him for a few days.

If you haven’t yet heard Ryan’s music, then you can read my review of his record “The Spirit, the Water and the Blood“ and it has links to purchase. We did a video wrap up with Ryan but unfortunately it looks like it didn’t save to my HD for some reason, project is there but video file is not. It could be that I over-wrote it when my drummer Jon Utter and Ryan did their little tip of the hat to James Brown.

Jon goes Brownalishess with Delmore from Our Rising Sound on Vimeo.

I think you enjoyed this video more than the wrap up anyway. Again HUGE thanks to Ryan Delmore, he’s an amazing friend, worship leader and man of God, awesome to be able to connect with him. I mixed a little worship sampler from the set, a minute or 2 from each song, entire set condensed to 10 minutes. So you can listen to that below. Here was the set:

1. Glory to the King – Chris Lizotte
2. The World Can’t Take it Away – Ryan Delmore
3. Jesus Name – Ryan Delmore
4. Open the Eyes of My Heart – Paul Baloche
5. I Wanna See Like Isaiah Saw – Ryan Delmore
6. You Are So Good to Me – Waterdeep

I’ve been working on this loop for a few weeks and used it twice in service. I’ve been with-holding it’s release because I have a few more ideas that I want to try out before I ‘ll consider it done, but I figure why not expose that process. So I’m going to release this loop for Hosanna as version 1, when I complete it I’ll release another version and you can see the difference. I’ve made available 2 versions below, one with acoustic and the other without.

There’s a couple things to watch out for on this loop that differ from the album arrangement.

1. Intro starts with a pad, then drum pattern, then the piano riff comes in. Verse 1 starts at bar 35 (00:53)
2. The solo section is twice as long. I do a solo for the first half then we sing a tag that I wrote on the back half. Solo section comes in at bar 119 (3:05) and stops at bar 151 (3:55).

I think besides those 2 things I repeat sections as the album does. Don’t forget to rate the loop below and please comment with any questions or feedback you may have.

I wrote this song about a year and a half ago and it’s been a slow evolution from where it began. Lots of rewriting in every aspect of the song. I feel satisfied with where it’s settled. I’ve been working on a studio demo of it for a long time, so many false starts due to the rewriting. This past Sunday we recorded the set live through our modest FireStudio Project setup mostly for our own internal band uses. You have to listen to yourself to see where you stink.

The mix is pretty rough, lots of stuff we need equipment wise to get a decent live recording setup, but for a rough live demo, it’ll do. The song is about our lives as worship and love for Christ. I was tired of singing about it, praying about certain things and just ready to live it. Lyrics below and you can grab the How I Live loop here.

Verse:

I love you Lord
Cause you changed my world
Your son crucified
Be restored to your bride
You’ve come to this dark
And hardened heart
You spoke into night
And your spirit has brought me to life

Pre-Chorus:

And I want to show you more, of my love
And I want to show you more

Chorus:

How I live I love you Lord
You have changed, changed my world
How I live I love you Lord
Though this world might have stole you restore my soul, whole

Bridge:

I can’t believe what you’ve done, done for me
That I could receive all of your love
And your life has set me free
