This is an beat driven update to an originally gospel song I wrote over 10 years ago. Another foundation track.
Lifted Voice is devoted to bringing urban sounds to Gospel music. The unique mixture of jazz, dance, and traditional musical influences are easily identifiable behind inspirational lyrics.
Story behind the song
I can't write enough songs thanking God for the things He has done for me. I put some special thoughts in these lyrics; "woke me up right", "...looked ahead, always knew", "sometimes I don't see", "you were there to trust in me", etc. If I could only sing...
Lyrics
