Song Story:  THE  MUSIC:
I was a bit bored with traditional musical instruments after God's blessings of 6 great new songs in 14 days (with the 2 studios that God  has provided).  And these lyrics would be boring, I felt, with straight music. 

    So I started experimenting with some synthesizer loops, editing them to meet the 'feel' of the words.  The first loops I tried were pretty awful!   But I enjoyed the laughter, sort of like God's gift of a joke to make me laugh in my sadness. And I've enjoyed the music foundations that comprise the final song tracks.

Song Story:  THE  LYRICS:
        I'd had a very (very)  sorrow-filled four days, wondering about whether God was really blessing this music ministry, considering all of the many many technical questions all 4 music teams were having.  I did not want to even answer the telephone lest there be yet another problem.  I did not want to even walk into my home studio, lest I discover yet another software or instrument problem.  So, instead, I spent an entire Saturday just excitedly drenching myself in the joy of looking for patterns in Psalms.  One of my long-standing fervent prayers has been to bring God's music to His Word again... so many people like me learn better when scriptures are in  patterns like music. 

    So I was searching for Psalms to form into the lyrics set format from which I later work at an instrument to write new music... with God's help, of course.  The internet was still down -- I couldn't even use easy online concordances.      I searched “the old way”  to find a special verse that I knew was in God's Word that  I most assuredly needed:
   Jesus's promise to us all through Paul's words in Second Corinthians 12: 9  >>>>

“My Grace is sufficient for You, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”

    In that time of weakness, I was looking up Acts 4:31 for another song, and “somehow” --- and of course I consider it a “God-how” --- I noticed that this entire section of Acts 4 could be summed up in 4-word sentences.  I love patterns... learn better in patterns... and thus God led me to write out this song's lyrics in minutes.

Dedicated to our Real Church Leader, 12 January 2012
