Album: Amazing Love 'n' LULLABIES
Song location: http://dianadeeosbornesongs.com/2009---2011-Song-List.php
Song Story: THE MUSIC. The initial piano arpeggios were fun to develop to imitate
falling snow and rain. The initial concept came from one of my favorite verses, Exodus 3:14,
where God identifies Who He is by saying, simply: “I AM WHO I AM.” That required short, simple music phrases to match the matter-of-fact "I AM" Names of God.
Song Story: THE LYRICS: My collie Jacob is also featured in GREAT DANE FAITH.... and he inspired this song. Jacob and I went hiking in a driving powdery snow. It was so cool (literally:) when I got home and could just brush the snow powder right off his back.... no smelly dog fur. I was studying God's Names as revealed in the Bible during the time of the snowfall...
but I don't know how I made the connection to create this cool song except the one, the usual answer: God helped me see the parable and develop the song that makes His names easy-to-remember. Dedicated to God in ALL His names 3 April 2009
LYRICS:
... a LULLABY from God to YOU:
1 Like water off a white duck's back,
Like cold rain off a big buck's rack,
Like dry snow off a collie's back,
Let your problems roll off you, onto Me.
Like water off a mallard's back,
Like cold rain off an elk's big rack,
Like dry snow off a collie's back,
Let your problems roll off you, onto Me, your God:
Let your burdens roll of You onto Me.
I yearn to help you. Here's Who I am:
