Tommy's Song - rough sketch
A song I wrote for my son Tom, to reflect the gift that he is.
Beanfield Castle - what a crop of acoustic and more!
I'm actually my own band :) I sequence music to accompany myself, usually with me playing an acoustic instrument and singing for the final mix.
Story behind the song
Tommy was a gift from a loving Father, just because He likes to give gifts to His children, not because we had done anything to deserve the blessing of pregnancy. All my kids are gifts, just in different ways of getting here :)
This song is a rough sketch to help me in thinking about how I want to arrange the song with further instrumentation. I'm singing the vocals in one ear, and playing my Taylor K14ce in the other.
Lyrics
Little fists curled tight, eyes blinking in the sunlight,
A little bundle of joy.
A precious gift from the Father,
This beautiful fresh baby boy.
A mystery revealed for us to see His grace abounding, untold.
What a surprise – you’ve opened our eyes –
You’re a wonderful gift to behold.
A gift of God, you are a treasure
Sent to us in His good pleasure.
You’re a marvel of His grace, my dear,
We’re so blessed that He has sent you here.
Every good gift, and every perfect gift
Comes down from above,
From the Father of lights Who is ever unchanging
In mercy and love.
You are a good gift, you are a perfect gift, we thank God for His care
And Tom may you know as you learn and you grow
He’ll be with you everywhere.
A gift of God, you are a treasure
Sent to us in His good pleasure.
You’re a marvel of His grace, my dear,
We’re so blessed that He has sent you here.
