Introducing the greatest talent ever to emerge from the orange bedroom at my parents house. I play guitar like.... well, like a guy playing guitar. I tickle ivories. I twiddle on the computer. I sometimes enjoy beans on toast for breakfast. And in the cracks between the eating, sleeping, laughing, crying, working, breathing experience that is my life there sometimes slips out songs like these.

Story behind the song
Wrote this as important exams were approaching. Everything depended on the final papers. I was fearful of not giving my best to it and very aware of my capacity to not fulfill my potential. I wrote at the bottom of the song... "Having just written out an exam timetable, I really want to see it through. If I don't, I'll let myself slip and slide. But it's not in me. I need God to come and inspire me with some holy enthusiasm that will burn through me. I need God's love to inspire my heart to do great things for Hm. I rely on Him alone I've so often let myself down."
Lyrics
Don't Want to Let You Down (This Time) Adrian J Pratt, March 9 1983 Lord, Help me to see this through Help me to keep my eyes fixed on You I've let You down before But, please, not this time Help me let Your Spirit loose in my life I don't want to let You down this time, no I want to give my best to You this time Inspire me with Your love Grant me some holy desire Let Your love burn in me like a fire (repeat) Lord, I don't always do what I should do But this time let me see this one through So often I get scared And I don't take the time to care When I get like that I find I'm going nowhere Amd I've so often let myself down I start to get so lazy when I forget Your love's around I've let You down before But please not this trime Just let Your Spirits fire loose in my life Just let Your Spirit's inspiring fire loose in my life I don't want to let You down this time, no I want to give my best to You this time Inspire me with Your love Grant me some holy desire Let Your love burn in me like a fire (repeat) Let Your love burn in me like a fire Let Your love burn in me like a fire Let Your love, burn in me, like a flame that never dies You have come into my life Like a flame that never dies, You have filled me with new life, Like a, like a, like a, like a, like a flame, Like a, like a, like a, like a, like a flame, Like a flame that never dies, You have come into my life. Ooo...
