Alive

This song is based on the values idea that God is our Creator, echoing his enormous beauty throughout the earth. I am constantly amazed at the beauty within this world that God has created and how his own biblically expressed personality endeared itself to produce awe and wonder in the creation of spectacular mountains, canyons, reefs, etc…within our world.

As you will see with this very 'raw' recording and the associated lyrics, I have based my verses around the four seasons we experience each year. I have deliberated finished with the last verse being 'spring' – it linked in well to the theme of 'it's good to be alive' where spring is a time for many things to come 'alive' and rejuvenated.

This song had a more profound effect on me in the past few days with a friend's sister on her death bed with cancer at age 31. I find we get so caught up in the small things in life that bother/annoy us, and always seem to forget to be thankful for what we have got. I constantly remind myself of the great lyrics 'let everything that has breath praise the Lord' – we should be thankful every morning when we wake for the blessings in our life, that we may have life, and that we can praise his mighty name on high! Amen.

P.S. Apologies for the 'raw' recording…were getting a new Mac for Christmas with Garage Band!

P.P.S. Sorry for the baby cry at the end…my daughter loves to get involved when I sing!
