That's What Our Days Were Like

The wind blows in the tall grass of summer
we spin pin-wheels in the wind
 Arms out, running
chasing child-like wonders
what our days were like back then

That's what our days were like
That's what our days were like

Scaling towers, fly the speed of lightning
saving damsels in distress
"S" for super mega powers
home-made capes and heroes
 
Soaring higher, dragon kites are flying
tugging tightly rolls of string
tails a-waving, dipping, diving, circling
what our days were like back then

That's what our day's were like
That's what our days were like

Play for hours, tracking trolls and fairies
magic flying fairy dust
"X" for pirate secret treasure
Hidden hopes and key holes

That's what our days were like

"For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly but powerful before God for the overthrowing of strongholds,
As we overthrow reasonings and every high thing rising up against the knowledge of God, and take captive every thought unto the obedience of Christ." - (2 Corinthians 10:4)

Lyrics by KC Chad (https://soundcloud.com/kmocet)

VERSE 1
My doors are only opened up
When someone opens them
You can’t sit upon my steps
And wait for me to let you in
‘Cause you see, I’m just a box
Built with a pew for you to sit
If you’re looking for God
Then I’m not Him

CHORUS
I’m just a little white church
Most days of the week
Though some think that in me is     life
But I’m only alive as those inside
And you’re only alive when He abides
In you and you in Him.
Oh but I’m just a little white church

VERSE 2
You see I’m only sticks and stones
I’ve never had real flesh or bones
No, you’re the beating heart walking around
So don’t call me the house of God
‘Cause worship, no that’s not my job
The temple, well that’s simply among men

CHORUS
I’m just a little white church
Most days of the week
Though some think that in me is     life
But I’m only alive as those inside
And you’re only alive when He abides
In you and you in Him.
Oh but I’m just a little white church

BRIDGE
He can be found in the pages of His book
Or He might be heard in the sharing of words
Perhaps you have prepared a place for him
I hope you find the One you’re looking for
But as for me

CHORUS
I’m just a little white church
Most days of the week
Though some think that in me is     life
But I’m only alive as those inside
And you’re only alive when He abides
In you and you in Him.
Oh but I’m just a little white church
I’m just a little white church

This is version 2 ....same new song with a slight twist... dropped it a few keys and had some guest singers (2 of my kids, Jonah and Kate) join me 😊 ... kids worshipping is my favorite 🥰 .... it was hard not to laugh though because they were being goofy during the recording... not to mention Jonah hit the start recording button before I was ready 😂

LYRICS: 
God who created the heavens
forming the stars in the sky
is the same God who breathed into dust and gave me life 
God who created my heart and soul
who loves me and wants me as His alone
Who treasures my life and calls me His own
how beautiful, how wonderful 

CHORUS: 
What an awesome God 
Clothed in power and love
You are good to us 
What an awesome God 

V2-
Bearing our sins upon the cross
Giving Your life so that it would save ours
Merciful, and wonderful, You are 

CHORUS 

BRIDGE: 
No kingdom can match Yours
no army is greater
than the one of my King
the one of the my Savior
I bow down to honor the Holy of holies 
there is no one better than You (repeat) 

LAST CHORUS 3x

Awesome God (v. 2 w-kids)

When All Around My Sky is Falling

That's Where We Are

Truth Is

I love experimenting with words and sound.  I might be looking to collaborate with a musician as my strengths lie in lyrics (and melody at times).  Not only do I write lyrics out of my head, but I also love to write to existing music, though the process for that takes me a bit more time.  I do sing, but want what is best for the song, so I'm open to others singing the songs as well.  I've had only one collaboration where my collaborator put music to an existing a capella posting and I was blown away by the skill.  Not something I've seen often, but would love to connect with someone willing to do that.  I lean toward topics that touch everyday lives, surround relationship with God, people, emotions and sometimes songs with comical flair--depending on how the mood strikes.  That being said, I have to repeatedly listen to a musical piece before deciding what it speaks and it is usually the music that dictates the mood and therefore the topic of the lyrics.  I do prefer to become familiar with how my collaborator prefers to work--whether they are looking at a quick turn-around time, if they allow for time, what agreements, etc.  before proceeding with collaborations, but I am always looking for a longer-term collaboration partner.  My preference is to work with another female.   Most of my lyrics haven't been shared in music form because they would all be a capella and I just don't want to post them that way, so I'm hoping for a great collaboration partnership to eventually  reveal itself.  Message me on soundcloud if you have an interest in collaborating.
