today...

This was a song that I wrote for myself.  I used to be a person who would be consumed with this or that to the point that I would miss so much of what each day had for me.  I was reading in Matthew and I was really impacted with the peace found in the words before me.  I was so impacted that I wanted to be able to recall them any time I was stressed.  This song is what came of that attempt to remember. 

I never really sang it for anyone until my grandmothers funeral.  I was asked to sing a song and this one seemed to be appropriate.

Matt 6:25-34

home     bio     album     journal     live music     photo     feed the family

Just let it all go                                           

Set yourself free                                     

this is not your show  

And it never will be  

It's all under control                             

So slow down and take it easy       

Cause what you need is known   

So just let it be      

Darlin have you have seen

The flowers on the ground

Never has there been

A nicer garment found                               

The splendor of a king

Is not even as profound

As the way I cover you

and all that surrounds  

So let today be today

There is enough for you to do

And let tomorrow, let tomorrow worry for you

Tell me, have you heard

The songs that fill the sky

Sung by the callow birds

So fragile yet alive

Of what nature must be stirred

In order to prepare

The next meal that they consume

The burden that I bare

Oh, you of little faith,

Don't worry what you'll drink,

what you'll eat, or what you'll wear

For those who do not know,

Chase after things like these

Instead choose to replace,

Your worry with a strong and steady stare,

On the righteousness you know,

sounds...
