Story behind the song
My producer, Eric Copeland, and I wrote this song as the title cut for my CD by the same name. Tried to set the tone for the album which basically revolves around keeping a perspective on what really matters to me in life.
Lyrics
The Things That Matter Words by Michael D. Yoder and Eric Copeland Music by Eric Copeland A man whose bravely facing death; A family left with only loneliness; An aching soul searching for peace; What’s to become of these? A son whose wandered far from home; A wounded heart that’s waiting by the phone; A soul once lost in sin; Now letting Jesus in, left all alone. Through all the confusion we seem to lose sight Of where the importance truly lies. But the obvious answers they hide in the things We see in our everyday lives. These are the things, These are the things, These are the things that matter. A newborn baby’s crying breath; A mother’s warm embrace and tenderness; A baby born king; the prince of peace He came; for you and me. All that remains now is: Faith, Hope, and Love. That’s where the importance truly lies. By loving each other With all of our heart We learn in our everyday lives that… These are the things, These are the things, These are the things that matter. REPEAT (c) 1998 Michael D. Yoder/MALT Music, Inc. (ASCAP)/Eric Copeland/cre8iv.com publishing (BMI), All Rights Reserved.
