This is not about any recent music you posted – it is about the fire to get off of my song-writing butt you lit – I have checked out your site a fair amount since reading some of your posts on the Pure Praise Study site – and when I came here, I saw your self-challenge to write a song a week – well, I have recently stumbled onto a large block of time (the lack of which was always my 'reason' for not writing more). I took up that challenge for myself and while I am quite aware of the amount of sad and silly stuff I am churning out, I am also aware of how the ACT of writing, of looking for the deeper meaning in Scripture I am working with, has been working in me – and there ARE a few little musical nuggets that I will save for future use. thanks for sharing your journey with us!

Appreciate it Cee. It's always great to hear that a tune is catchy. Sometimes I think stuff I write is garbage and then I find myself (and if I'm fortunate) others humming the tune. Yes!!

Thank you!

Looking fwd to How Fantastic Is Our God :)

And I can definitely identify with being the first person who picks what your own song sounds like, and if that's good, bad or indifferent.

I actually went AFTER I recorded this earlier today and checked CCLI for other songs of this same title. Thankfully, there were only a handful, it's a good thing I didn't write a song called I Know That My Redeemer Lives...there's about 40 of them there.

Anyways, in searching, I came across the Jesus Culture song. I'll have to admit I'm not familiar with any of there stuff.

What I have to remind myself though, as I continue to write and if write with increased frequency there's gonna be some "Oh, that sounds like so and so song..."

I might be the one who notices it, more times than not, I'll be the one scratching my head going..."Wow, that does kind of sound like that."

I think for fun I'll just write a song called How Fantastic Is Our God.

P.S. Thanks so much for listening to it MORE THAN ONCE!

When I see that title, it immediately reminds me of Jesus Culture…and then the chorus actually reminded me of their song too…even though when I sit back and analyze it, I don't think it should. The power of words is amazing.

On 2nd listen, I'm really appreciating how easily congregation-friendly worship flows from you Russ (that's how it appears anyway :)
