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
After composing the music, I tried to figure out what's the meaning here? Jesus' prayer in John 17 seemed to be the answer. Yet, this was quite a lot of material to put in a song. I studied, copied notes, looked for points that were reiterated within the prayer, looked for patterns, but in the end, I just went to the bible, and working from verse 1, just made an attempt.
Lyrics
The Son's Prayer (John 17) Father, now the time has come to glorify your Son And your only Son gives it back to You I showed You to all my friends and they obeyed your word They know You sent me, that I came from You I am coming to you now, but these I leave behind - Keep them safe from wrong, send my joy within I've sent them into the world to serve and teach your truth I will be in them, You will be in me Bridge: In the world - it will hate them In the world - they don't belong Keep them 'way from evil Give them shelter Through the awe and power of your name Now, I pray for all believers who will learn the truth May they be as one as You are in me Give them glory so the world will know that You sent me You love them as much as You had loved me David Davis copyright 2008 http://postadavisongs.50webs.com/SonsPrayer.html
