Song Story: THE MUSIC:
The
music came first: The melody “just sort of happened”, in That Way
that God's Holy Spirit leads: As I was exercising fingers on my
guitar, just playing whatever chords came to mind... I fell in love
with the first set of chords that became this song.
Song Story: THE LYRICS:
Next
I prayed, “which psalm, LORD?” I'd recently finished Psalm 91
which filled in the set up to 103, had done Psalm
88 Crying Out
in 2012; Psalm 90 is the Song of Moses (done) and 87, 89 were long.
It seemed God guided me to the lovely prayer of David in Psalm 86.
Since the Psalm's first words were translated as asking God to BOW
His ears to us, I decided to use the synonym that does not give the
false first impression implying that our LORD ever would have reason
to “bow” to us.
Dedicated
to our LORD Listener, 22 January 2015
