"Love How You Rescue Me"               Melissa Fleckenstein

Lord today I come to you
with a heavy heart 
and a heavy spirit
Lord I know today I have
so much on my mind
Laying it all down at the altar
to apologize

[CHORUS]

From the beat beat beat of my heart
 you set me free
and from depth to depth
you called out to me
My sins are like ink
that runs deep
You untangle me
like a dove set free (Yeah)
I love how you rescue me

I say yes to you now
Surrender all I have to you
I give you my dreams 
my hope and everything
Please reign down from heaven
in my heart

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Reign down
Reign down
Won't you reign down
Reign down

Lord today I come to you
to say I am grateful 
for your amazing forgiveness
Lord I am so thankful for you 
redeeming me
Thank you for setting me free
and it all


You free my life like no one else

Love How You Rescue Me

This song was really fun writing. I enjoyed using the Question Technique and sort of keeping a mystery (@ first) and letting the experience unfold line by line. Hopefully the listener gets to explore the way they want to until it gets to the Chorus. The Chorus is a bit of a payoff.  I almost wish there was a way to conceal the Title for the element of surprise to be more effective. It's a destination song and hopefully it succeeds in taking you to another place.

"Promised Land"                                  Melissa Fleckenstein


What's it like there?
Are there gold shimmer sparkles?
Cascades of love?
Heartfelt smiles and symphonies?
A new standard of perfection
where good things flow freely?

[Chorus]
I wanna go to the Promised Land
I wanna claim God's Eldorado Land
I don't wanna be left behind in unbelief (no-o)
I wanna be all He's created me to be

You can't drive very far
Staring in your rear-view mirror
Possess an ambition
Like crossing the Jordan
Stand against opposition
Long enough to win

[Repeat Chorus]

Instrumental Solo
(with improvisation = When you don't know where you'll end up
Just believe His promises O-ooo------)

[Repeat Chorus]

His promises are there for the taking
His promises
His promises to those who believe
Don't let them get a-weh-a-ay

And you can go to His Promised Land
And you can go to your Promised Land

Promised Land

The lyric "Keep the Blaze Returning" inspired my E-Book.  You can purchase it on Amazon.  The title of the book is "Inspirational Quotes 365 Days of Motivational Power," Based on Keep the Blaze Returning by Melissa and John Fleckenstein. 

The story behind this song is also special to me. One day I was reading this book that has scriptures in it. They are categorized. I read some of the scripture regarding what I was feeling, which was basically a spirit of heaviness/burden that day. I think I was burdened by the things that happened with my husband in the Navy. I found 2 scriptures and reflected on them and this song just poured out. What was really special though was when I would play the song, as I was playing it and practicing it (Unfortunately I had to edit this out of the song, but may release an extended edition one day for the sake of the integrity lost here) There was this part lyrically that said "Watch and behold as your God pushes things out of your way. Watch and behold the works for your God, who is greater then anything" Every time I would play THAT part; JUST that part I would feel God's presence there, strongly/unexpectedly and this happened multiple times. This gave me the faith to continue in my journey when things looked pretty bleak to the natural eye @ times. It was things like this that gave me the faith to get my message out. It was like God wanted me to know that He would take care of obstacles. This was a very special season. Unfortunately I am not in this season anymore, but it was definitely something unique and very personable. I almost forgot when I got this song the burden was gone. Completely gone and lifted. I know it probably sounds crazy to people who don't believe, but I am very serious. It was GONE! On another note: I am  super excited for all the harmonies  that I got for this song. If you listen with your headphones perhaps you can hear the various harmonies and parts working together in textures (primarily @ the beginning and end).

"Turn My Darkness Into Light"                      Melissa Fleckenstein

You are my lamp oh Lord
You, the Lord
Turn my darkness into light
A dream within a dream
You, the Lord
Make hopes dance upon the light
You Oh Lord keep the blaze returning
You ignite my heart and keep my lamp burning

[CHORUS]
Is there anything too hard for God?
O-O-O-O-O
He is the everlasting light
All burdens cast aside
He'll turn your darkness into light

You guard my mind oh Lord
You, the Lord
Ready my heart to soar up high
A new pair of wings 
You, the Lord
Take the fear far from the flight
You Oh Lord
Change the winds blowing
I'm rising up from the storm
Suspended in air
Mounting, soaring

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Instrumental solo (vocalising)

You are my lamp Oh Lord 
You, the Lord
Turn my darkness into light

He's There For You (INSTRUMENTAL)

There are so many things in this world we label as "love". The inspiration for this song, represented in its title, places focus on the one pure love that Jesus spoke of, when He said, on this, hangs all the laws and prophets - a love modeled from above, "Your Love", God, and for this we are truly thankful. I hope you enjoy "Your Love", and have a blessed and inspired day. 



"Your Love"                                                   Melissa Fleckenstein

How can I explain your love Lord? 
It’s like trying to paint a portrait of all the stars in the heavens
It’s like trying to pinpoint all the places where the light catches? 
A love like yours 
Deserves more than I could put to words

[Chorus]
Your love captures
Your love teaches
Your love longs to be the one that reaches
Your love carries
It never varies
Or sways to the right or to the left
How wonderful is your Lo---ooove

You have written the names of those you love 
Into the very palm of your hand
The hairs on my head are numbered cause you keep track
You care so much
Sacrificed your life because

[Repeat Chorus]

[Instrumental Solo/Break]

[Repeat Chorus]

How wonderful is your Lo---ooove
