Good one Jeff sometimes it is tricky addressing our future demise.

Also love the picture to the right - you both look so young, vibrant and in LOVE !!

A very touching song Jeff, I like it and how you have performed it.  Great photo too :)

Nice tune, the recording was prety impressive too!!

Time to get Extra FUNKY by Thunderboneluis and the Funky Crew

For restoration now we sing
We cry out unto our King
And bow our restless hearts before Him now
And boldly claim the greater dream
With clearer vision of our destiny

Impossible dreams remembered
All that was lost will be found
Healing for your body and your soul
Don’t lose hope, raise your hands, He is here
This is our restoration ground
Oh... Oh Lord... Oh restore, better than before
Oh... Oh Lord... Oh restore, better than before

And on this holy mountain all will see
My God is good in everything
He will never turn away who comes
With open hearts and ready hands
Father, fill our hearts and bless these hands

Impossible dreams remembered
All that was lost will be found
Healing for your body and your soul
Don’t lose hope, raise your hands, He is here
This is our restoration ground
Oh... Oh Lord... Oh restore, better than before
Oh... Oh Lord... Oh restore, better than before

Oh... Oh Lord... Oh restore, better than before
Oh... Oh Lord... Oh restore, better than before

Better than before, you better than you was
Saved by His grace, washed in His Blood
Both hands in the sky, knees to the rugs
Washed away our sins, He snatched us out the mud
We don't even look the same, they can see the change
Restoration full came when we called His Name
I boldly proclaim, I'm never ashamed
My Savior He saves, he's healin the lame, it feels like a flame
Shut up in my bones, like Jeremiah said
Tell me who you know that can raise the dead
Make the dry bones live, for our sins He bled
Everything's restored, He's our Daily Bread

For restoration now we sing
We cry out unto our King
And bow our restless hearts before Him now
And boldly claim the greater dream
With clearer vision of our destiny

We've all one destiny
We cry unto our King
And boldly claim the greater dream
For restoration we sing
We sing
For restoration we sing
For restoration

Times to Look Back on – Jeff G – 9/10/2022

[D]Some days are strong
[D7]Some days are not
[D7]Some days I give you
[G]All that I’ve got
But [G7]never a day
Has [D]ever gone by 
That I [A]haven’t wanted
You by my [A7]side

[D]Some days are weak
[D7]Some days are sad
[D7]Some days happy
[G]Other days mad
[G7]Countless days
And [D]countless hours
But [A]I still get by
You give me the [A7]power

[G]But don’t let me bring you [D]down
If I [A]mention my future [G]demise
[G]I never ever mean to [D]bring
[A]Tears to your beautiful [G]eyes

[G]Your eyes who’ve watched [C]over me
[G]Through good times and bad [C]weather
[G]Times that give me [C]belly laughs
I’d [C]never take back, [A]ever

[D]Some days I feel it 
[D7]Some days I don’t
[D7]Some days it bothers me 
[G]Others I won’t
[G7]Let my mind falter
Or [D]dwell on my fate
[A]Years of good living
I’ve got [A7]no room for hate

So,[D] on days like this one
With [D7]low energy
[D7]Note that my talk means
[G]Not much to me
[G7]It’s just idle chatter
Flowing [D]out of my head
[A]Nothing to worry
Your [A7]beautiful head

So [G]don’t let me bring you [D]down
If I [A]mention my future [G]demise
[G]I never mean to [D]bring you
[A]Tears to your beautiful [G]eyes

Your [G]eyes who always watch [C]over me
[G]Through the times both thick and [C]thin
[G]Memories fond to [C]look back on
And I [C]visit again and a[A]gain [D][G]

When ya comin home boy
Oh how I dream of that day
Left your mom cryin back home boy
Prayin for God’s will every day
When the final boarding call echoes through the Viking halls And the wings glide west my way (but)

(CHORUS:)
There’s a fair sweet girl from Roskilde
Who mended your torn heart
In that ancient land you hold fast to her hand And tho the cold black sea separate us
Oh how you love this girl from Roskilde

You never came back home boy
How long I waited for that day
I’m comin now to see ya boy
Still prayin for God’s will every day
And the final boarding call echoes through the pilgrim halls Now the wings glide east your way (cuz)

[chorus]
[instrumental feat. violin]

God will reveal His plan
I leave you now in His hands
The final boarding call proclaims the hopes of us all And the wings glide west my way
You’ll think of me across the warm nordic sea
And know how happy I will be

Cuz there’s a fair sweet girl from Roskilde
Who captured your young heart
In that ancient land you will place a wedding band And though the winds of change separate us
Oh how you love this girl from Roskilde
Though the winds of change separate us
Oh how I love this girl from Roskilde

Girl from Roskilde

A Girl Like You

The first time I came back to you
Was out of loyalty, sense of reality
I said “I do” and I was keepin that promise
In front of God and men, no matter how I had to bend
And oh, I didnʼt want to come back
No, I didnʼt want to

But there I was, flinging my future down at your feet
Brought it all back, doubt and foreboding there at your feet
But still comin back

The next time I came back to you
I was closer to God, caught a little joy down in my heart
I realized a grace had been laid out before me
2000 years ago, made me a prisoner of hope
And oh, I didnʼt want to come back
No, I didnʼt want to

But there I was, claiming those promises from the old book
Brought it all back, a new mind held captive, a will unshook
And comin back

Well I let go of loyalty and grace
Got 3 miles away when I heard the phone ring
Been dying to hear these words for more than 20 years

Come back, come back, come back to me my love
Come back or Iʼll chase you down
Just come back, can’t live without you
I’m beggin you, come back
Oh I think Iʼm in love
For the very first time

Now here I am, tackling love down to our bedroom floor
Brought it all back, kissing, consuming you, lock the door
And throw away the key
Iʼve come back for love
I've come back for life
Iʼve come back for good

Here's my version of this classic Irish ballad. Mcllhatton was an old fiddler who knew how to make an excellent Poitin, the ancestor of whiskey. When the valley where he lived filled with buyers of his fine liquor, many tried to capture him, but he knew how to hide well and was never caught. Enjoy my track and share! CIAO

Showing that Southern Cross really is outside of my vocal range despite me enjoying playing it.

Southern Cross - For Joe With Foot Stomping And Top Tapping And Whatnot

I am a bit of a music/songwriting hobbyist. I write a ton of songs and often get requests to share scratch recordings so that is why I started using soundcloud. I am very active on chordie.com and currently one of the moderators helping out on the songwriting and song request forums. I have some of my more polished songs on reverbnation.com -  http://www.reverbnation.com/jeffgilpin - but I do not have the time or backing to pursue music other than a hobby. I do like all types of music but I tend to lean towards the more obscure artists than the one who get the majority of radio play. I always wonder some great talents never have been able to "make it" in music but I enjoy the stories that go along with all artist's careers and lives.
