lOfi Night Divine

Sampled from the Sleepwalk track by Santo and Johnny, as requested by one of my best homies. Unfortunately I did not do a very good job with the mix, and thus the mastered suffered a bit :(  (sooo headphones recommended)!

An action video game esque inspiration/analogy for perservering through the fears that pop up in the opportunities we are given in this life. Each open doored opportunity has obstacles to overcome that make you stronger as you make the most of them. Trusting in God is a daily commitment of seeking His presence. Somedays are harder than others trying to hear His melody amongst the other sounds that fight for attention in one's mind, but staying strong in faith allows endurance until it is crystal clear in the end.

Time 2 Move (Faith Over fear)

Recently, I had been spending a good amount of time learning more about music production, and one Saturday I woke up wanting to create a quick instrumental just to put to practice what I was learning. Little did I know God was gonna be like, let me put this on your heart. That quick instrumental turned into 3 (and a half) bars and multiple Saturdays later to finish this creation. It's not as good as I would like it to be, but it's progress!!

Thanks to @sarah2ill for your YouTube beat tutorials; @bad-snacks for your Neat Tape 1 sample pack; @stagelight_app for your 0 to 100 YouTube playlist; @landrmusic for the master; and @nativeinstruments for Komplete Kontrol plugins!

PeaceInLove

There is "a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance" (Ecclesiastes 3:4) and given the current time in this world, mourning (lamenting) is easily the mood to get stuck in. Though our current circumstances is worse than a metaphorical rainy day, let us still lift up our heads with hope for a sunny day. In a fallen world, we can put our hope in the One who has already overcome! 

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33 NIV)

Deja Vu

cmpah Project #3

[Verse 1 (F-Am-B#-Dm)]
Even the birds get to feast
Leaving behind buffet plates when they eat
with  bellies full, they chirpin' out joyful tweets
praise songs to God, coming from the beaks

Take some time to consider that they don't reap
or so and yet the still proceed
to receive the gift on which they feed
and now you're thinking what's that got to do with me

The wisdom sage with the highest name, Jesus
came down to be slain, against wooden grains, so we could
be saved in His name, to forever remain, in His kingdom
said that the Father, the One who is sovereign, feeds 'em

He loves us more than the birds
you can see that through the life in His Word
so to worry would be a little absurd
He provides for everyone on the earth

[Chorus (Dm-B#-Em-Dm)]
(abundance) there is enough
ooo, when we act in His love
(abundance) give to others when they don't have as much
ooo, then we'll see where Jesus is coming from

[Verse 2 (F-Am-B#-Dm)]
(F-Am-F-Dm)
Okay so, this, hit home for me
like I'm on base and the ball hit past stadium seats
if there is enough, then my pride can cease
cause God put purpose in every heart that beats

At times I try to pry my way to the top
setting up my own demise unaware of the drop
but even in my sin He is redeeming the plot
a victorious story where, everyone's got a spot

He loves us more than we are worth
you can see that through the life in His Word
So to worry would be a little absurd
He provides for everyone on the earth

[Chorus (Dm-B#-Em-Dm)]
(abundance) there is enough
ooo, when we act in His love
(abundance) give to others when they don't have as much
ooo, then we'll see where Jesus is coming from

[Bridge (Gm-C-Dm-C)]
if we, have faith in the Son who shed His blood
and we, demote the self from being number one
and we, fight to love in every relation
then we'll, see the point that Christ was bringing up

[Chorus (Dm-B#-Em-Dm)]
(abundance) there is enough
ooo, when we act in His love
(abundance) give to others when they don't have as much
ooo, then we'll see where Jesus is coming from

Abundance

I enjoy listening to music; anything from rap to pop and contemporary Christian. On top of that, I enjoy learning new things throughout life, so I recently started making instrumentals as a new hobby.
