God had me write a contract to him after a whole period of isolation and despair. he truly is amazing I will sing his name to the moon and back and with him I definitely could achieve a feat of that opportunity    thank you Lord.

Beautiful, David.  Thank you for sharing it.

IF I CAN MOVE THE MOUNTAINS
Words/Music by David Wu

You say, you say that I can move mountains
But Lord, this work that you gave me
Seems too much for me
Sometimes, I don't think I can go through it
Even with You by my side, Lord
Won't you give me a sign?

Tell me, tell me what do you see in me?
What gifts have you laid before me?
I don't know - I can't see
Help me - I just don't know what to say
And I've got some giants to slay
And I don't know if I can run this race

If I can move the mountains
Why can't I even move my feet?
Who am I to do this work
That you have set for me?
If I can move the mountains
Lord, show me the way
Use me for your glory today

They say I don't know what I am doing
Never aware that they're hurting me
So I stumble along
Maybe, maybe I'm just a fool
But I'm a fool for you
And all I need to do is trust in you

If I can move the mountains
Why can't I even move my feet?
Who am I to do this work
That you have set for me?
If I can move the mountains
Lord, show me the way
Use me for your glory

Half the time, I know I'm far away
But Lord, You called me to this task today
I long to see Your face
Moving through life by grace
Holy Spirit, move through me

I just need to pray to You
Have faith in You
And trust in You ...

Then I can move the mountains
Now I know and it's clear to me
What a joy to do this work that you have set for me
Yes, I can move the mountains
'Cause you revealed the way
Use me for Your glory
Yes, I can move the mountains
'Cause you revealed the way
Use me for Your glory
For Your glory
Only for Your glory
Today

Joyce Malana - "If I Can Move the Mountains" (Words/Music by David Wu)

i thought that in the moment you’d leave,
i’d wake up from a solemn and distracting sleep
to heavy breathing, blurry vision, and a movement in my curtains
instead i heard it all from someone else

when everyone cried, said they didn’t see it coming
i held my breath, kept our secret undercover
is it still murder if i didn’t do a thing?

whose emergency contact will i be 
now that the emergency is over?
whose bogus former employer will i be 
now that your references are eulogies?
and goddamn,
who’s gonna tell me when i’m being completely unreasonable?
you know better than anyone how polite this world is

The Moment

On a snowy and cold Christmas night, this song represents the sadness amongst the single ones. We wish we could be with you, but we were just not enough.

All I Want for Christmas Is You - Chat Boys

David Wu is a pianist/keyboardist, music producer, and music columnist from the Seattle area. He runs an existential music career that remains irreverent to norms. His goal is to continue composing, performing and producing music that makes you feel good – music that can help, heal, and inspire.

David is his own boss, his own agent, and his own distributor - which reflects David’s philosophy that music in its purest form should not pander to commercialism nor conform to standards. “I’m an artist, not a conformer,” says David. “Others may try to emulate existing sounds; I emulate my mind and heart.”
