life of faith

something to share: this song was written on 18/11/09, during my recent exams period. the lyrics are taken from Psalm 145 (so lyrics are by king david!). it’s my first song ever written, the tune for the chorus came out first, and it was truly inspired when i was reading this psalm the previous day before i decided to write a song to God. it felt as if God placed a song in my heart and the whole song took shape quickly when i took up the pen and guitar to compose. this song serves as a reminder of His greatness and faithfulness in my life. perhaps one day i should record it in mp3 format to share the tune. enjoy!
