In the Studio

Hey All,

So I mentioned a couple of times that I was working on a new song. Well that song is finally finished and I actually went into the Truitt Studio last night and recorded it. I must say - WOW. What an awesome experience. My friend, Marc played keys for me and did an AMAZING job. And even though I have (another) cold, my voice didn't sound bad.

What a fun and rewarding experience! I think what made it even more significant was the fact that I was surrounded by family and they were quick to affirm me. They also had fun. Kelvin, Danielle and Marc seem to love the song, which is the first song that I've written by myself. It's also pretty awesome what a Mac computer can do with percussion and bass sounds. I even recorded harmony parts. AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME.

The song is called "This is Who I Am" and it's a reminder to me of my identity in Christ (a subject P. Chuck happens to be teaching on in Mid-Week service). The chorus says:

Made with fear and wonder
In the image of the Father
Created like no other
Beloved child of Mine
You were called and you were chosen
With a purpose and a plan
Find your identity in Me
This is Who I am

What's next, you ask? I don't know. I really want to record a live worship album (now more than ever). I don't really have any new songs that I'm working on and I don't know that I want to put together an album recorded in a studio with a bunch of original songs. In the words of my friend Candiss, we'll see what happens...
