Hey guys, I'm writing a new song called "I Am because He Is." 

This song came about on Easter. I was thinking about Yeshua's death and rising again. And I came to me that I'm alive because Abba is alive. So this is the chorus, tell me what you think!

Chorus 1

I am because He is

I'm alive because He's alive

I can be satisfied

Because of your sacrifice

The stone was rolled away

Now I can say

I am because He is

 

 

 

What do I think? Doesn't matter what I think, but I will state that for me it is not about I, but about God. I need not be satisfied by God. I need be humbled and remain humble in appreciation of He, Him, the I Am.

Have fun working on songs! The best of songs written ( in my opinion) was written by a twelve year old sick young man. The story behind "Ain't No Grave" by Brother Claude Ely is a grand testimony that  worship ( Songs of praise to God ) may come from many sources.

As to the present effort it reminds me of one which is presented turned about the other way, (He first  before I) from Bill and Gloria Gaither. Lyrics from Gloria and melody  from Bill is their usual pattern. The chorus of which  is: 

Chorus -from the Gaithers:
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!

(Might note the emphasis on He and how I is secondary to Him)

 

and Refrain - from Miles about Mary Magdalene:

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

 

Take care, grow in effort by prayer, by reading, and thinking, on the word of God. Plus read the histories behind the greater songs, worship,  by many psalmists - Watts, Wesley, as well as the story  of Spafford and others led to write, including the hired writers, much as  Miles who with a few minutes of enlightened awareness wrote In The Garden.

Please be encouraged  to learn  and to be become talented  as well as enlighted by God as songs of praise to Him are written that are  sound  doctrinal declaration.

Hi East Sky!  I love the theme of the song and the chorus lyrics.  Might you consider changing “He’s alive” to “He lives”?  I wish I could hear the melody.  God bless you!

I'm not commenting on the song but your saying. He died for me, therefore I live for Him. I really like that and it reminds me of an old song that said, I gave, I gave my life for thee, what hast thou given for me?
