So, I was inspired today by my friend Lucas Schrock-Hurst. He's pursuing music and has been making albums as Lightning Lucas. (Check his stuff out at lightninglucas.com!)
It reminded me about how I write songs from time to time, mainly inspired by my dad, who has an album of his own music, "Fixing Our Eyes on Jesus". (Check out his YouTube channel... all the stuff with a tree as the background is from that album).
When I was 7 I wrote a song called "Jesus You Are My Lord" that went like this:
Jesus, you are my Lord
And my Fortress
Jesus, you are my Savior
And my Redeemer!
Jesus, I love you, and you love me.
(Throw in a repeat, and there you go! It's quite sweet, really.)
Then, through middle and high school, oh those angsty years, I wrote songs and poetry to creatively process life. The main difference between the two was that songs I intended to be songs to begin with, and the poetry often didn't work to music.
So... today, when I was inspired by Lightning Lucas, it was to put the things I had written out there. I don't know if this will become a thing or be a one time sort of event. But so far I have two songs I have recorded, just my voice, no accompaniment, because I haven't written music for any.
