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
I've been working on this song since Memorial Day 2011, which is sort of long for me.
Lyrics
Only Yesterday Only yesterday, I was captured, Stuck so hard in life long sin, Living out my selfish desires, Getting pulled into their spin. But You saw my situation, And You knew right where I've been. Oh Lord, thanks for graceful disruptions When You closed the door on my yesterday. Only yesterday, sin was master, It was all that I would crave. But I hated that I felt guilty At the pleasure that it gave. So, I stopped, You made me wonder What I'd be if I were saved. Oh Lord, thanks for Your intervention [realignment] When You closed the door on my yesterday. B Section: My Jesus, my Savior Yes, You bled and died for me You love me and lift me up And You'll make me whole For my soul Deliver me Deliver me Only yesterday, I was frightened When I thought if I would die. On my mind were some worldly places, Not the realm above the sky. Now, I know Your resurrection, I no longer live in fright. Thanks for giving me new directions When You closed the door on my yesterday. David Davis copyright 2011 http://postadavisongs.50webs.com/OnlyYesterday.html
