FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKIN’ IN

2007 Spring - i wrote this song when thinking about changes i wanted to make in my life, and realizing the ramifications for my husband and others that are close to me… “baby hold on….”

………………………………………….

BURNING COLD

2000 college - written at a time of intense struggle in my faith… a “dark night of the soul” experience for me, which birthed one of the darkest songs i’ve written. we could barely scratch the surface of this song with the recording, so what we offer is just a demo… there’s so much more to be added to the tones here.

NEVER

2000 college - this song came out of a dark deep time of my life, and accompanies much of what is said in “Burning Cold” even though the tone is more hopeful. college can be rough for many people, and was certainly full of falls for me. i had a high school reputation of being the “good girl”… unfortunately, i also had a college reputation of being the “good girl” - its amazing what you can get away with if you don’t attend the parties and stay behind closed doors.

SOUTH OF HEAVEN

2007 Winter - just wanting to have a different life… and i mean, my gosh!, can you hear my country/gospel roots coming out in this song? the more i wrote, the thicker the southern drawl became!!!

………………………………………….

MAY GOD ARISE

Good Friday 2007 - probably the only “usable” worship song i’ve written so far… and this came as a prayer to see more of the Lord in my heart and in my life.

………………………………………….

SONGBIRD

2001 - a song about me, about rising above life, about how much i wanted the Lord to give me more songs to sing… this is my best friend’s favorite - its a happy song of sorts!

A MOTHER’S SONG

Summer 1999 - i love my mom. although the “ballad” does not portray a true story, my mom did inspire the emotions and tone captured.

JUST A GIRL

summer 2001 - written at a time in my life where my public ministry was growing. its a song of humility and honor. yes, my blog title came from this song.
