I'm Devoted (Final) - Just added the produced version!
Devoted (HERE IS THE FINAL PRODUCED VERSION OF DEVOTED!) I am so glad I worked on it here at Worshiptraining.com.
Well this has been SO MUCH FUN!!!!! Thanks Dan for spurring us on to be creative, to dive into the Word, to pray our songs and do our best. My final still needs work, but this was the best I could do under my circumstances. It was would be awesome to someday have this professionally recorded. I can't even imagine what THAT would sound like. = ) I learned a lot about mixing and recording. I added about 20 tracks to this song. Crazy! I couldn't believe how many little things make a big interesting sound to a song. Wow I give cuddos to producers and mixers who do this on a regular basis. You guys ROCK! It is so much work.
Anyway, here is my final draft. I said "sinless path" instead of "selfless path." I like "selfless" better, but didn't have the time to change my mistake. I'm going to miss you guys. I wish you all the very best and pray that your songs will bless many other people.
I'm Devoted
c2010 Lara Marriott
Verse 1:
A steadfast love that will not change
Leaving out a life of grey
Allegiance none on earth can sway
Running as to win the race
Pre-chorus
This is my devotion
Chorus
I'm devoted (6x) to You
You're a rushing river that's bringing life to my hidden roots
In a world that believes there is no such thing
As a one and only truth
I'm devoted (6x) to You
Verse 2:
Striving for a selfless path
Like oceans reach out for the land
I've made my choice, no turning back
Giving over all I have
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Spoken Word:
I have been saved by grace by believing
I do not save myself it was a gift from God
It was not a result of my own efforts
I will praise You my God and King
I will praise You forever and ever
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son
That whosoever believes in Him will have eternal life
I'm devoted to You
Chorus (would love to do this twice if I had the time to record it again.)
Here is my start to this song. I need to adjust the background vocal levels they are too loud and it is bare bones, just beats and vocals without a bridge yet. Open to all feedback. Thanks!
Lara~
Here is my updated chord chart for draft 2. I need to edit the place where I didn't imput the chords. I am not by my keyboard right now to get them. lol.
