Wake up Singing (Singing out Your name)
Hi all,
It feels like it's been a while since I last had a song to post on here...busy working on a new EP...anyway, here's one I've just started using on Sunday mornings, what do you think? An upbeat song is a bit of a rarity for me!
Lyrics
Chorus
I want to wake up singing
Singing out Your praise
I want to wake up singing
Singing out Your name, Jesus
verse1
Fill me with a childlike wonder
Where everything feels brand new
Everyday like a great adventure
I open up my eyes
And all I see is You
verse2
Open wide my eyes in wonder
At the start of a bright new day
You alone my hope and saviour
Let nothing hold me back
I'm running all the way
Bridge
There is joy, joy, joy
There is peace, peace, peace
There is love, love, love
In Your presence

This is nice. I wish there were more songs written specifically to open (or close) a worship service.
Only thing I'd suggest fiddling with is that it's basically the same chord pattern all the way through (and it's weird that the first time through the bridge it's the same chord all the way through, then the second time through it reverts to the same pattern as the rest of the song). I think I'd like it more if the bridge part involved a couple of chords that weren't in the rest of the song at all.
But nice simple lyrics, good message.
So, Joe, I do need to pick out a special music song for next Sunday... you mind if I do a couple little tweaks to this and then test fly it on Sunday, post back a recording of what we do? Lyrical tweaks would be minimal, main thing would be trying out some chord variations on the bridge...
Hi Charles, Go for it...I look forward to hearing it... cheers, joe
Thank you. I've started doing a demo recording, but I've been having some problems getting a good recording (guitars not sounding good / in tune, and I may be working in too low a key), so it won't be this Sunday, but soon-ish, I think...
