Let Us Worship-(Final Rewrite)
This is the final rewrite (Part 4) for Worship Songwriting (May 2011).
From the comments that were provided by fellow worship artisans in the last couple of weeks and drawing from my study/prayer, "Let Us Worship" has moved from song vision to final rewrite. However, this is NOT meant to be a final production and rewrite, and that my friends, it takes more time and continued perseverance.
The bridge was changed lyrically, melodically, and rhythmically. Having a goal for this song to be possibly used in corporate worship and/or church dedication, I focused on lyrics that strengthened my song vision of "worship" and including such thoughts as "we are an offering," "giving thanks," "drawing near," and "Savior is here!" In addition, rhythmically altered some of the melody to allow worshippers to be more comfortable in singing the song. Ultimately, with an end goal of focusing on the delight of worshipping.
It's getting there…but all in time. Down the road, I'll post a final mix song that most likely will have one more verse.
Thanks to all for helping me grow and develop the song vision in the last four weeks into something meaningful to others and me. It was not just the song that grew, but also my personal walk with Jesus.
Blessings,
Garth
