Destined for your love - final draft
destinedforyourlove Eb with the band
Here is the final draft for "destined for your love". I wasn't able to think of much to change, so I simply recorded it with my worship team. Thanks guys! I did change the key from C to Eb to give it a little more oomph for my voice.
I know it didn't turn out to be a song you could sing WITH a congregation, but I think it might work out as something to bring TO the congregation at some point. Not sure I've got the songwriting chops to edit it down in simplicity to something the congregation could sing along with. I have written other songs specifically for congregational use that have worked great. Hope it's still worthy of your listen.
I'm still open to making changes though, so feel free to make suggestions.
Here are the words and chords, as unlined up as they may be:
