Psalm 34 (Taste & See that the Lord is Good) - Draft 2

Psalm 34:8 "Taste and see that the Lord is good..."
I was inspired to use this for crafting my song. As I tried to base lyrics around this, I was unhappy with my 'unoriginal-ness'(!) ... so I ended up using the words from Psalm 34 almost exclusively (NLT).

Take 2... due to popular demand, I have removed the controversial time change & key change! I have attempted to come up with a simpler bridge that gels with the rest of the song.

(Apologies for the lateness and distorted vox once again done with the $2 cheapo headset off eBay!)
