It's about not doing good things. There are the obvious selfish reasons for not doing something, but there are also self-righteous reasons for not doing something good, such as fear, guilt, or pride. Ans: Follow Jesus, discipleship, & God's grace.

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
This is one of the few songs I wrote which I wrote the words first.
Lyrics
The Things I Didn't Do There are things I didn't do 'Cause of a bad attitude There are things I would have done But it didn't seem that fun But it's good to try to bear With the things we do not care And in time the task will end And another task begins Chorus: What am I doing nothing? Why am I always - Doing nothing? And going nowhere? Playing it safe? Better not share. To live a life of comfort And not try to work it through Gives a life of perfect zeros From the things I didn't do When my zeal has turned to wilt And I'm left with nagging guilt Even when I'm very low There are things I still owe But it's good to make amends When we do, our heart gets cleansed For a debt to be repaid Makes the burden go away (chorus) When a dread would come too near Should I act as out of fear? Ultimatums or a threat, Will I act or sit and fret? But decisions cannot evade Just because we are afraid Whether brave or maybe shy It is good to make a try (chorus) There are things I would have tried But they might bring out my pride What I do as to the LORD Might involve this world's reward Yes, it's good that I obey And to give myself away Than to bask in past success And in heaven, getting less (chorus) Bridge: There's are things I didn't do I can't save and keep my soul Only Jesus can do that Only He can make me whole More like Him and less of me, I will follow in His way Filled with love, the self to die, I can do all things through grace (chorus - no lift) David Davis copyright 2010
