recording christian music worship
Demo recordings of new Christian songs available for Christian artists or bands.
I am a Christian songwriter. I am looking for Christian artists and bands or church worship leaders who are interested in my songs. All songs are demo quality as I'm not a very good musician or singer, but I think you'll agree that the songs are well polished and insightful, even if the recordings are not.

Lyrics
Does your soul yearn for peace? Words: "Ye humble souls, that seek the Lord" by Philip Doddridge; modernized by Loren Kohl 2004 Music: Loren Kohl; based loosely on "Fingal" by James S. Anderson Eb Bb 1. Does your soul yearn for peace, my friend? 3. Now lift your eyes, and sing aloud, Cm Bb Eb 1. Let your fears melt a- way; 3. the joy that saw Him rise: Gm Ab Fm 1. And bow down in reverence to see 3. Not all the bolts and bars of death Gm 1. The place where Jesus lay. 3. Could keep Him as Hades' prize. Gm Cm Dm Eb 2. Where the Lord of life bowed so low; 4. See Him lifted above us all Eb Gm Fm 2. So strong His love for you: 4. Who was shamed in our stead; Ab Gm Bb 2. That torture and death He did choose, 4. And through eternity He reigns, Bb Eb 2. spilling His blood so true. 4. Who dwelt among the dead. Eb Bb Cm Bb 5. With joy like His shall every saint Gm Eb 5. His vacant tomb survey; Gm Ab Fm 5. Then rise with his ascending Lord Gm Ab Eb 5. To realms of endless day.
