50 Songs: Psalm 63
Well, I’m waaay behind on my goal to hit 50, but I’m still writing so that’s good, right?
This is a tune I wrote yesterday morning. One of my favorite passages is Psalm 63.
Wanted to write in the vein of Rich Mullins (Step by Step). Mainly for simplicity. I like the repetitive nature of the chorus. It’s a first person song, singing to God. It could be used in a corporate setting, but it’s written more of a personal song of praise to God.
Of course, this is a quick and dirty recording, nothing fancy schmancy about it. There’s a few things I might sing a little differently if I spent a lot of time on recording. By my goal with this is just to share it, not make a production out of the recording (like my rap tunes).
Let me know if you’d like to use this in your place of worship.
Psalm 63
2009 Russ Hutto
(Verse 1)
I will sing Your praises,
I will bring You honor,
I will glorify You
As long as I live
I will lift my hands to
Surrender to Your greatness
To offer up my everything
It’s all that I can give
(prechorus)
And I will sing
(chorus)
God,
You are my God
And I will follow
Follow after You
You are my God
And I will follow
Follow after You
(verse 2)
You have satisfied me
You have quenched my thirst
You have filled my hunger
With a rich feast
You have held me closely
In the palm of Your hands
You have kept me safe
You watch over me
Nice Russ… I like the clean melody.
