I wrote this song roughly a week ago, and spent a lot of time getting it recorded. It’s got something like 26 tracks, so it took a lot longer than my acoustic songs. It’s basically just a song about pursuing God, desiring His will alone, being transformed, and how He opens doors for us as we follow Him. However, I wrote it with the intent that anyone can relate to it, whether they’re Christian or not. I know the mix is a little rough, but I’m not perfect lol, and I’m only working with Garageband and my own instruments, so don’t be too brutal :-)

The phrase “be one with the One” (about being one with God) in the second verse is something I’ve heard my pastor say several times at church, and it’s a phrase that really reaches me. Just had to give him credit for that line, haha. (My church is LCIM – Life Changing International Ministry, located in Valrico, FL)

Lyrics are in the video. All music, lyrics, instruments, and vocals are done by me. As always, I know I’m not a Grammy-quality vocalist, but I don’t aspire to be. My only aspiration is to follow my passion, worship my God, and share my journey with others along the way ;-)

To God be all the glory, always and forever and in all things!

This is a song about simply believing, regardless of anything else, regardless of the odds against a situation, regardless of what you feel or think or hear (or don’t feel or think or hear). Simply believing. The chorus phrases it as a question, because that’s actually how I got the idea: by asking the question, “What if?” It’s a song written from the perspective of someone questioning and choosing to believe. Because that’s exactly what I was doing.

However, this song is also written with the intent that people who are of a different faith (or of no faith) could relate to it in their own personal lives. The listener could, for example, apply it to their relationship or friendships.

I’ve been reading the Psalms lately, and my heart and mind have apparently soaked up what I’ve read, because most of these lyrics were inspired by various things I’ve read in the Psalms recently. The lyrics are also completely reflective of where I am in life right now: eager to take the next step, but needing to wait for God to direct that step. It’s a worship song, a song expressing my love for God and my desire to honor Him above all else.

Instruments used: 12-string guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, piano, mandolin, Cajon (percussion), and my voice.

This is plain and simple a worship song, a prayer, and an expression of my love for God and His love for me. It’s a song that conveys who I am in Christ, and that everything is possible only by Him. The last line of the third verse (“You’ve made it my mission to be one with the One”) was inspired by the recent messages my pastor has been preaching at my church (LCIM – Life Changing International Ministry) about relationship with God and “being one with the One (God).”

Yes, my voice sounds deeper in this song lol, and girls usually aren’t supposed to sing deep, but I don’t care about those stereotypes or whatever…I wrote this song in this key because that’s the vision I had for it, and it’s the tone my voice naturally went to, so I didn’t want to try to force anything different.
