Thanks band, for all those who played a part in forming the flesh of the new song I wrote… I think it’s really not me who wrote it, cos as I ‘ve shared, it all just came at once, the inspiration, couldn’t have been me.. I mean, I was just sitting at DOME one Sunday morning at Park Mall after the 1st service, feeling really Jaded… This was right after Worship Central Conference at Faith MC.
And these words were ringing in my head: Write songs for your church. That’s the primary purpose! If the song stays within the church, so be it!
SO there I was thinking… This talk about revival in YM… but how? What happened next, I took out my trustee notebook, started writing words and numbers to fit the words… Amazing. Never been possible. (Sorry, i don’t mean the song I wrote was great or anything :S but really I never was this close to writing a proper song no matter how much i tried!!)
If we get our purpose right, wow… God’s grace overflows! The title of the song was chosen minutes before I gave out chord sheets to the band on friday to learn.. It was such an amazing thing, how the title got chosen as i shared! And Sandy had a big part to play in this!! Hah!

“A new song a new song” – This was ringing in my head all the time as I wrote! Yea, someone once said where revival comes, there’ll be new songs just flowing out, cos that’s the true cry of the hearts of the people involved in the revival!! That, i believe!
Friends, I encourage you, if you’ve got any thing you’d like to share, be it a full song or just words without the lyrics, just do it. I believe it’s time for that! “, A good way to start, is to check your motive. Remember, if the song stays within the church, so be it! It’s meant to be for the your church! “,
