Music

I have always wanted to write a song, and there have been a few times when I sat down to do it, and the results? Something that rhymed, maybe, but then trying to set it to music??? HA. Anyway, I thought that maybe that was one thing that I was not supposed to do.
Since making the recent transition to Living Water Ministries, our new church, Gabe and I have been doing some singing on the worship team. At first, we were just fill-in, but now we sing every week. I have always loved music, I love the way that music can express the deep emotions that words alone cannot.
A while back, Gabe was at work, and I spent some quality quiet time with Jesus, and poured out my heart and cried, and interceded for several requests that were on my mind, and as I lay in bed that night, one line kept coming to mind, and was interestingly set to music.
So the next day, I sat down at the computer and started typing the line of music that was in my mind. Then within the next couple of hours, the rest of the song spilled out onto the page. As it was coming to me, the music was there too, so next, I sat down at the piano and wrote out the chords that accompanied it. I wrestled with what to do with it then, was it just for me or was it for sharing?? I think a couple of weeks later, we were practicing for worship service, I felt like I was supposed to give it to our Pastor, (who also plays guitar for worship, and very well I might add), and we practiced it a little. Later that week, we practiced it at Gabe's mom's house, who plays the organ, and got it well enough that we played it the next week at church.
They keep calling the song "Brenna's Song", but I call it "I Come Before You." I can't give you the music, but here are the words...

I come before You now,
My heart is crying out,
Your presence in this place,
Seems more than I can take

Fill me with Your Spirit, God
Wash me with the water of Your Word
So that I can worship You in truth,
That's all I want to do

These burdens make me weak,
I lay them at your feet,
Now You can make me strong,
That's why I sing this song.

Fill me with Your Spirit, God
Wash me with the water of Your Word
So that I can worship You in truth,
That's all I want to do
