a 2011 songwriting game song
brought back to life when I felt i
needed some practice with real multi-track drums 

Here I resuscitated an abandoned project from 10 years ago
for mixing/tracking/recording experience.

Drums by Jim Perry
Everything else by Me.

Unpromised Land

written by John Cooperider and Steven Wesley Guiles on a short one day visit to Southern California (by John and Barbara Cooperider).  Written at John Cash Studio in the end of August (can't remember the exact day - I want to say August 20).

even though it felt like maybe God was punishing him, Job still worshipped God.

C               C2            C3             C4
i wish you all would shut your mouth
you cannot know what breaks me down
F                         F2           F3             F4
your words are meant to burn with doubt
but i am sure that i’ll get out

i’ll not keep still, while you’re around
i’ll speak the truth, i’ve made this vow
no lie will ever cross my lips
it’s not my time, but you started this

Am   G/B    C
let what happens make me 
stay so true
though you slay me
i’ll still worship you

listen to me, see my tears
pull me from this pit, from my darkest fears
i am surrounded on all sides
please bring me out, hear my cry

i can’t undo what they have done
i’ve kept myself pure, it’s the race i’ve run
grant me this, that i won’t hide
help me not be terrified

Though You Slay Me I'll Still Worship You
