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
C F My soul does long for You, O God Am G What else could be enough? C F Not kingdoms, crowns or great applause Am G Nor man's sweet words of love Dm Am And if my traitor heart should turn Bb Am And though my eye should stray, Dm Am Alone, You are my true desire Bb Am Whatever men may say Bb G C Whatever men may say. The sin I crave, the lust and pride Would kill if unconfessed The tempting snare is not outside -- It beats within my breast But deeper still than fallen thoughts: the longing of my soul to be at peace with You, my God To know as I am known To know as I am known. Instr. break F G F Am (2x) You nailed my sins upon the cross You rolled the stone away You filled me at my Pentecost This world now holds no sway The longing You have placed inside to praise and serve my King cannot be quenched or satisfied by any earthly thing By any earthly thing.
