This is a song I wrote about a week ago. I have been struggling mightily to figure out how I plan to release a bunch of music I have on the back burner, but I do believe that I finally have a way to get some things accomplished. Yesterday, my favorite acoustic, my Martin Special 16, took a slight tumble and it is going to have to go bye-bye to get repaired. Out of my sadness, it got me thinking about my acoustics (I may have an obsession, if I'm telling you the truth), and I decided to take a second look at my old Alvarez. It was the first guitar I was able to own, and I purchased it as a young teenager after saving up an entire summer of grass cutting fees in my neighborhood. This guitar has been put through the ringer, and I haven't played it in quite some time due to some intonation issues (it wasn't consistently tunable) it had. Well, long story short, I was able to make some adjustments on it today, and I got the guitar intonation issues rectified. I slapped some new strings on her, and we are off to the races. All that being said, I am tired of not being able to release music more consistently, and a lot of the reason why is because I tend to overcomplicate the productions, and then I get discouraged to finish, because there are just too many parts to contend with. Well, I am going to make a concerted effort to record as many songs as I have written that I think are worth sharing in as simple a way as possible. Like this one. It is certainly bare bones, but my wife really loves to hear my vocals cut through, and I think a simple arrangement is the best way to make that happen. Also, I feel pretty excited to get something finished so quickly. If the Lord continues to gives me the strength and energy, I plan on releasing a lot more songs in a similar vein as this one, so if you find yourself enjoying it, keep a close watch, because my hope is to keep them coming. Be blessed.
Also, I really mean these lyrics. In this time of increasing uncertainty, there is only one thing we can truly be certain of: it's that Jesus is real, and He is coming back for His people. Look to Him, and He will make your paths straight. Much love.
