New Song by Jason: I Come to You

[Jason]

Here's my latest lyric. I'm hearing a BarlowGirl feel.

I Come to You

Broken and bent
Shattered and spent
I come to You … I come to You
Withered and worn
Tattered and torn
I come to You … I come to You

Chorus:
I come to You, Jesus
With nothing left to give
Take my lifeless soul
And help me live
I come to You, Jesus
For healing of my heart
I come to You, Jesus
I come to You

Battered and bruised
Useless but used
I come to You … I come to You
Lonely and lost
Tired and tossed
I come to You … I come to You

Chorus:
I come to You, Jesus
With nothing left to give
Take my lifeless soul
And help me live
I come to You, Jesus
For healing of my heart
I come to You, Jesus
I come to You

Bridge:
Only You can fill this emptiness
Only You can heal the pain
Only You can take this shaken life
And help me rise again, rise again

Chorus:
I come to You, Jesus
With nothing left to give
Take my lifeless soul
And help me live
I come to You, Jesus
For healing of my heart
I come to You, Jesus
I come to You

Just not this Giant...ok ??

Great song Jase :)

[freakysoccer]

[Greyshades]

Lookee what I dug up...

If I can just develop the chorus... this one is fabulous.

Want it?

[Greyshades]

Yes, but first, I must mow the lawn.

;)

The verses remind me of Crowder's "Remedy".

Mowing the lawn is important.

So, what is this? The third Jason/Sean song?

This one was hard to craft with the alliteration/rhyme scheme I started.

[Greyshades]

So, what is this? The third Jason/Sean song?

This one was hard to craft with the alliteration/rhyme scheme I started.

It is #3.

The verses flow perfectly. What I've got so far is very meditative and singable. The chorus is tricky, but I think I've got it working. The bridge is gonna be cool.

If you've heard Chris Sleigh's "Empty Me", and can think of the bridge in that song, it's similar.

[Pixie Wildflower]

Just amazing!

[Jason]

Just amazing!

Thank you.

[Light Hearted]

When are you guys gonna post some recorded music for us to hear? *nudge nudge hint hint* ;)

[Jason]

Uh, when we get a good recording.

[Greyshades]

I think we're gonna take a crack at this one tonight J.

Before I leave though, I'm going to send you an acoustic version of "Here And Now".

[Greyshades]

Uh, when we get a good recording.

I was just a couple minutes off...

:D

[Light Hearted]

Uh, when we get a good recording.
Well, hop to it. I'm waiting here. :P

[Jason]

Yay!

[Greyshades]

It's on the way.

[Jason]

It's on the way.

*lifts hands in worship*

Dude, we gotta let people hear the acoustic Here and Now.

[Greyshades]

Ok.

Gimme a second to see if this works.

[Greyshades]

How's this work for you?

Way cool!

Is Nathan doing a lot of the guitar?

[Light Hearted]

WOW! That is absolutely an amazing song! You two make an incredible song writing duo. Keep up the good work guys. :cool: :D

[Greyshades]

No, on that one he's playing his bass. It's tough to make it out. But having him hold down the low end frees the piano up to be more distinct. We did "Blessed Assurance" first that night, and he did play a six-string on that one. Versatile little fella.

Wait 'till you hear the one that's the title of this thread. ;)

Sorry to leave you hangin' right now. I've got to edit it down tomorrow, and I'll drop you an email when I've got it done. It's still in the beginning stages, plus the drummer we threw it at tonight didn't know it; but I think it gives a good, albeit rough, representation of the song.

Isn't funny how people are commenting on the other song in this thread? ;)

Well duh, you've got the song posted here doof. :P

[Greyshades]

I changed the filename of the song. If that link fails for anyone, let me know. It still works for me, even though it's a different filename.

Jason, are we going to have to make a "Listening Room" here? You rockstar. :D

[onesawthelight]

Jason, awesome song!! You have a way with words....I have so much to learn!

I forgot to update you. About five months ago, Greyshades' band Humble Reed got to perform several songs on a television show called Atlanta Live. Here's a YouTube video of our song "I Come to You":

And yes that's Greyshades on vocals and lead guitar.
