It’s been almost four years I think since I sat down and wrote a song, beginning to end, in one day.  Shoot, I’ve only written one song in the last four years! But I wrote one tonight.  In about an hour. Out of nowhere. Maybe depression hit the reset button on my brain.  Or my spirit.  Or both.

Here’s the rough first draft of “Sing” (words and music and copyright by me).

Verse 1:

In this brawl between the empires

Of our good Lord and the Liar

Will you stand, please stand with me

Right now I’ve faith to take it

But oh, when they come to break it

Will you pray, please pray with me

Chorus:

And we’ll stand and pray

‘Till the dark gives way

And then we’ll sing (sing, sing)

Yes, we’ll sing (sing, sing)

Oh, we’ll sing (sing, sing, sing, sing)

Verse 2:

If doubt and shame conspire

To steal away your fire

And leave you cold, I’ll stand with you

Repeat Chorus

Bridge: Hallelujah, sing, sing

Hallelujah, sing, sing

Hallelujah, sing, sing, sing

We’ll sing

Verse 3:

In this brawl between the empires

Of our good Lord and the Liar

Will you stand, please stand with me

Chorus 2:

And we’ll stand and pray

‘Till the dark gives way

And on that Day we will sing (sing, sing)

Yes we’ll sing (sing, sing)

We will sing (sing, sing)

Yes, we’ll sing (sing, sing)

Oh, we’ll sing (sing, sing, sing, sing)
