I finally got the energy to listen to some older tracks I started. This one from 2018 got me inspired to finish it. I wanted the vocals to have a low part and then the same lyrics sung higher. Sort of like David Bowie's Heros. I had learned some tricks about making vocals sound better, so I tried those. I hate to hear myself sing as it is. Only 6 comps for a single track. The music production is always so much easier. My Fender Strat FSR on this I think.
Lyrics:
God is our shield and strength; an ever present help in trouble
We will not fear though the earth give way
Though the mountains fall in the sea. Though there’s nothing left to eat ---I will exalt Him, this I say:
Chorus:
---The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our shelter.
Be still, and know that I am God. I’ll be exalted in the earth
There is a holy city, --Where the Most High dwells
-God is within her, she will not fail
God will help her at break of day; Other nations will be carried away
He lifts his voice, and the earth melts away
Come and see what the Lord has done, He makes His enemies turn and run.
He breaks the power of sin and fear, He rescues those who do draw near
I’ll be exalted.

I'll Be Exalted

I put down this idea in Sept of 2023. I listen to my ideas in the car and if something hits me, I try and finish it up. I got the energy to fix this up. My son got me into Clams Casino and I like Black Mayo. So I added a small vocal clip and a reverse with reverb. It came out pretty nice.
