the wind. the stream. the sun.

menu for today
i was flipping through all my other instrumentals that i "wrote" mainly inspired by kelvin kern and david lanz. (of course my fav is still david lanz.) this just the verse of my half composed song "love" which i wanted to do the wedding vow as lyrics.

the verse became the melody to the song.

i had to flip through some lyrics uncle andrew past to me a long time ago. Some thing that he kind of strike off. but it totally fits what i experience at IOL. i wrote:-
"glorious sunrise that lifts the darkness.
the majestic waterfall that fills and nourishes as it passes"

this is for god the father. mainly how i imagine god the father to be.

like gentle wind lifting us up
like the flowing stream, nourishes always life giving
and his love is as sure as the sun rising from the east.

after composing, i realized the melody is kind of the same. oh wells. took me so long to realize since both parts are in different keys. it's a really simple song.

p.s. it's totally like an instrumental with lyrics. the first 3 sec tells it all.
