The rules: 1) Every song must be biblical (with references included for cross-referencing). 2) Songs must focus on one of the following: The character of God, The works of God, The character of Jesus, Jesus's gift of salvation, Hope we have in Christ, or a personal response (of which the focus is one of the previous categories). 3) Melodies and chord progressions do not need to be original. Popular melodies and/or traditional melodies are acceptable. It is the lyrical content which must be original thought. 4) Lyrics and melody must be complete. Melodies may be re-used in more than one song. Concepts can be included, but will not be counted in the final tally. 5) Original melodies (music or vocals) must be recorded and posted as a link or embedded with the lyrics.

Comments are welcome.

My Heart Beats - JD
Timing: 3/4, reflective speed, build to 2nd chorus

VERSE:
F Eb Bb
You raise the mountains, call forth the rain

Breathe life to forests, and comfort my pain

You sculpt the valleys, paint coloured lands
D Bb F
Spread out the skies, yet hold me,
F
In your hands

So I might live in eternal love

What am I, that you think of me?

Who am I, you died to set me free?
