A bit of a gospel-blues feel to this hymn I wrote with the amazing pianist Nathan Stites (who sings and plays on this demo). The meter for the three verses is 7-6-7-6. Unmetered refrain. CCLI# 4878292

Contemporary hymns and new worship music
CONTEMPORARY HYMNS AND NEW WORSHIP MUSIC These are acoustic worship songwriting demos with chords sheets. IF YOU'RE A SINGER, BAND, OR WORSHIP LEADER/PASTOR, FEEL FREE TO USE these modern hymns and worship songs in live settings, and to reproduce lyric sheets for Power Point, overhead transparency, or whatever you use. THE MODERN HYMN MOVEMENT: The recent explosion of contemporary hymns and inroads made into churches by Indelible Grace, Stuart Townend, Keith and Kristyn Getty and other modern hymn writers has done wonders for reminding us of the relevance of old hymns and turning again to new hymns crafted in old literary patterns that expressed theological truths in ways that many modern song-constructs cannot follow. I work in this tradition, writing deeply theological worship songs that can be adapted for various musical genres, while presenting the gospel in the depth that hymns are famous for. Click the "Lyrics/story tab next to each song on my MP3 music page for chords, as well as a list of themes/liturgical settings for each song and CCLI #s. YOU CAN ALSO DOWNLOAD OVERHEAD TRANSFER SHEETS, chord sheets, and lyrics to some of these songs by looking up my name in the Artist List of these two sites: Just send me a note letting me know who/where you are -- I'd like to know! .

Lyrics
Deeper than the darkest grave -- The depths of my own sin. None could save my sullied heart Nor reach so far within. None could purify but Christ, None other could forgive. None would suffer for my lies And die so I could live. Love of God, Love of God. Nothing else could sever Pride's strong hold from my own soul, saving me forever. I will never be the same, I see how wrong I was. Loss for me is truly gain When losing leads to love. Jesus take away the things That pull me from Your side. Humble me and fill my heart With love in place of pride. repeat refrain Love beyond what man can dream, Compassion so divine. Forgave for good at Calvary, Forgives time after time. Fill me with Your Spirit, Lord, To love impartially. Remind me that without Your grace I'd be Your enemy. CCLI# 4878292
