"Song of the Blind" Lyrics

These are the lyrics to my new song, "Song of the Blind", based on Matthew 20:29. It tells the story of two blind men sitting at the Jericho gate when they hear Jesus passing and call out for him to heal them.


Verse 1:
They can remember the sights from when they are young,
That go with the sounds they hear.
Sitting by the Jericho gate,
They often wonder,
"Why can't I be free?"

Chorus:
They've heard of a man named Jesus,
How he heals with a touch,
Or a word of His mouth.
If they could just speak His name,
The blind would be free.

Verse 2: (not sure of the lyrics yet. Had some written but they don't fit the structure of the first verse)

Bridge:
Then one sunny day,
They heard a great noise,
And a hundred footsteps.
They heard the people calling, "Jesus"
And thought, "Could it be?"
With great faith they cried,
"Lord have mercy on us!"
With pity in His eyes,
He touched them.

Second Chorus:
They met a man named Jesus,
Who heals with a touch,
Or a word of His mouth,
They called out his name,
The blind were set free,
To see their Saviour.

"Song of the Blind" - Advice Needed!

Hello everyone!

I haven't updated in awhile.

I've been working on this song called "Song of the Blind" today. Just posting a little bit of it. I need some advice though. What you hear in my video below is the first verse and the chorus with minimal chords accompanying. But I can't decide how I want the piano part to go. If anyone has any ideas about a pretty and simple piano accompaniment please let me know! I want the words to be the majority of the song.

Finished song! A peek at the sheet music.

Here is a draft of my song "I Will Praise You". It is almost done. I just finished it today but I now need to go over it and revise. But I had to post it because it looks so pretty! :-)


Love

Let love be genuine.

                 Romans 12:9 (ESV)

Love must be sincere.

                 Romans 12:9 (NIV)

Love from the center of who you are.

                 Romans 12:9 (The Message)

Don't just pretend to love others. Really love them.

A bit of singing on a Saturday night...

Hey all!

Here is a little clip of me singing. Wanted to record myself singing the song I'm going to sing at church tomorrow. It's called God Loves You by Jaci Velasquez. 

* I was made aware that the mp3 player wasn't working and I cannot figure out for the life of me how to embed an html code that works. The player I put in yesterday works on my computer, I'm guessing because I have the file, but no one else's. So at any rate, I might a little slideshow video (kind of lame, I know). And I only had a few photos to use because I transfered all of them off this computer and on to my mac. Therefore, the photos don't really make sense with the song, but I had to come up with something! So please ignore it. 

Enjoy!

Love,
Kendall

Long time...

Hello everyone!

I haven't written in awhile. But I don't think anyone really reads my blog anyways, so it's more just for my own fun. :-)

I've been in the process of finishing up one of my songs...piano and everything. The whole thing is done expect for the bridge and coda. I hope to finish it up in the next couple of days. Then I have the task of being able to play it well so that I can sing along to it and record it for everyone. 

Just a little update!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful timing leading up to Christmas. And if you have any parties you're going to, I'm jealous! I wish we had somewhere fancy to go. 

Love,
Kendall
