Hey Gang,
This isn't really part of the "songwriter" assignments, but I tapped down into the old writing wells and have started my first song in 4+ years. I've enjoyed some collaboration from Mandy Thompson (http://www.mandythompson.com) as well ... I don't have audio for ya yet .. hope to have something soon.
Working Title: "You Save"
Words and Music by Fred McKinnon and Mandy Thompson

Verse 1:
Darkness and famine, trials, temptations
Sorrow and anger, filled with frustration
Where, O Where are You God?
I feel a million miles away, yet I know you are near
Are you listening to me? Do you even hear?
Where, O Where are you God?
Chorus:
Where, O Where does my help come from?
I cry out into the night .....
Verse 2:
Lusts of the flesh and the greed in my heart
Selfish desire to be set apart
Where, O, Where are You God?
Have my sins hidden me for all eternity
from your gaze, O God? Will you still help me?
Where, O Where are You God?
Chorus:
Where, O where does my help come from?
I cry out into the night? (repeat)
--------------------
Bridge/Lift Instrumental (Psalm 121 read)
Your arm is not too short to save
Your reach goes deeper than the grave
When I am crying to You
You save! You save! (repeat)
My help comes from the Lord above
The Maker of the Heavn' and earth
Your watching over me and run
To save! To save!
To Save ...... To Save ....
You Save ..... You Save ....
