Carpenter

Every tree is in need of water in order to grow and thrive. And so we are dependent on the Source of life.

Redningsmanden

Afsavn, afsavn, afsavn. Skrevet under en relationsudtømmende pandemi. Ikke for at kommunikere et politisk budskab, men mere for at give udtryk for noget, der skete indeni mig i den tid.

Syg af kærlighed

“Don’t forget to breath!” Sounds like the words of a sports coach, but there sure is a point in this statement. It is said that prayer is the breath of our soul. This is a prayer that the Lord will raise my own voice to sing, to breath, to exist in Him.

Lyrics and chords:

[Intro]
C Csus4 Dm G C Am Dm G

C                                    Csus4
This day has passed away oh so quickly
  Dm                          G
I woke in a minute, fell in a second
C                                            Am
 Think I remembered everything that I should
     Dm       G
Except to breathe

       F                C    F         G
For I am just a lily of the field
F                   G                 Am      C
I will wither way before spring
        Dm            G                           C
But until then, raise my voice to sing

Interlude:
F G Am C F G Am D C

Heart beating right awake in my sleeping
Turning and sighing, finally fleeing
Remember everything as if yesterday or
As if a dream

For I am just a lily of the field
I will wither way before spring
But until then, raise my voice

[Interlude]

For I am just a lily of the field
I will wither way before spring
But until then, raise my voice to sing

This day has passed away oh so quickly
I woke in a minute, fell in a second
Think I remembered everything that I should
Except to breathe

For I am just a lily of the field
I will wither way before spring
But until then, raise my voice to sing
But until then, raise my voice to sing

[Interlude]

[Outro]
C Csus4 Dm G C Am Dm G C

The Lily

DA: Jeg kendte min farfar i det sidste årti af hans 90 år lange liv. Han skrev to smukke digte som ung. Jeg fandt dem hjemme hos min faster Ruth Kristensen i 2018.
EN: I knew my grandfather in the last decade of his life of 90 years. He wrote two beautiful poems as a young man. I found them at Ruth Kristensen’s house (my aunt) in 2018.
