Writing "Even in the desert"

[Dan L]

OK.. this is actually a song I wrote.. but I like it so much, I'm gonna write it in a 'poetic form'.. the actual song isn't quite the same (warning: this is actually a [b][i]worship[/i][/b] song of mine-- just so it doesn't surprise you a bit)

____________

All my life I was a sinner
Doomed to die
Then you saved me
Took me from that life

And I'm no better now,
But you choose to forgive me
Only through your power
Can I resist sin

Even now I'm led astray
When I take your grace for granted
Change me now
Bring me back to you

Through your blood, your spirit
Give me power to overcome
Evil urges
And unworthy thoughts

Even in the desert you are there
Watching over me
Ready to lead me back to you

I could never live without your love
Your eternal love
And your grace, that sets me free

It sounds like a choir is in the background. I like it.....without the choir.

I had some spare time (kind of- I have lots of spare time) so I decided to make a midi file of the song ^^. So now you can actually hear what it should sound like.

There are two tracks on the midi file. No.. actualy there's three.. the bass piano track (piano, left hand) the treble piano track (piano, right hand) and the melody (which is what the words would sound like- unfortunately it's impossible to make a midi file with actual lyrics, unless you wanted it to be huge).

Oh yeah.. here are the words to the actual song (only minor differences to the above- mostly repeats, and the use of a bridge section))

[i]All our lives we were sinners, doomed to die
Then you saved us, took us from that life
We?re no better now, but you choose to forgive us
Only through your power can we resist sin

Even in the desert you are there, watching over us
Ready to lead us back to you
We could never live without your love, your eternal love
And your grace that sets us free

Even now we?re led astray when we take your grace for granted
Change us now, bring us back to you
Through your blood and your spirit, give us power to overcome
Evil urges, unholy thoughts

Even in the desert you are there, watching over us
Ready to lead us back to you
We could never live without your love, your eternal love
And your grace that sets us free
(Repeat)

When we are far from you still you look on with love
Take us as we are and cleanse us in your blood
(Repeat)

Even in the desert you are there, watching over us
Ready to lead us back to you
We could never live without your love, your eternal love
And your grace that sets us free[/i]

Note: with regards to the second part of the chorus, I normally sing "[b]I[/b] could never live without your love", purely out of habit. Apart from that, it's all correct.
