The ways of the heart. What's behind its motivations?
progressive pop jazz blues country christian contemporary melody celtic orchestral bible sax musette
Many genres, Contemporary Christian, Lyrics, instrumentals
I write my own songs ;) I have a very diverse taste in music, from Pop to Classical, including Rock, Folk, Jazz, Country, World Music (Celtic, Romanian), Old Timey Stringband/Bluegrass, and Latin. All these styles are in my Christian Contemporary catagory. I usually write the music first, and then put words to the music. Though I don't sing good enough yet, I though I would put my instrumentals out along with my music. Generally, I think my music/lyrics are getting better, being more skilled now than when I started.

Story behind the song
This is a subject that attracts me. When I read the bible, this subject is highlighted in my mind. I think on these things to try to figure out what God's will is in this, and the song is a result. The star verses are: Jer 17:9-10, with I Sam 16:7, Ps 44:21, Pr 16:2, Pr 20;27, Pr 21:2-3, I Chron 29:7, II Chron 6:30, Jer 12:2-3, I Cor 4:5, and I Thes 2:4 being similar. Pretense is described in Ez 33:31-32 and Pr 10:18. No pretense is described in Pr 15:13. Actions are described in James 2:26 and I John 3:18-20, the latter saying that actions speak more loudly to God than sacrifices, and that God is greater than out feelings. The first verse is from Luke 6:43-45, and Luke 7:36-50. The second verse is from Math 21:28-31
Lyrics
Who Can Ever Know the Heart? Can my heart ever know From its fruit overflow All the stuff that's in store, Good or bad from the core? Can more debts that I owe, Mean more love that I show To the one who forgave, And then, gave all to save? Chorus: Who can ever know the heart? How does one get that smart? Can we trust that our hearts won't ever deceive? Well, endless searching can't fulfill God's love, but actions will. We must trust our hearts to God and believe. The first son said, "No! No!" Then he thought he'd best go. He came through, though delayed. It was good he obeyed. The next son said, "Yes! Yes!" Then he lost all int'rest. He was good to intend, But was bad in the end. (chorus) Does a pat on the back, A reward or the lack, Slows you down and give pause: Do I work for applause? Is that smile real inside? Do you feel but you hide? Are impressions you leave Something real or perceived? (chorus) Bridge: Lay your heart upon Christ Jesus Let Him work through what you do You can hide in His perfect righteousness Stake your life upon Christ Jesus In His likeness we become Our reward is with Jesus, aren't we blessed?
