Change Me
Well, I got a lot more response to my last blog than I thought I would. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one that feels the way I do at times. On the other hand, it’s sad to know that others feel that way about “being a christian” too. I don’t regret my decision to follow Christ and to love Him but I think everything apart from that is pointless. The thoughts and feelings that I’ve been having about all of this “stuff” kind of spurred me on to write a song. I’m four songs shy of finishing my CD so I started writing, Change Me. I wanted to write a song that simply talks honestly about our routines that we get into and how things become mundane and end up having no excitement or life to them because of the way we see things around us; stuck in a situation that we feel we can’t get out of or think that we are on the “treadmill of life”, always moving but not getting anywhere. I think the chorus sums it all up by saying, “change me”. It’s usually not the circumstances surrounding us that need to change it’s the way we see those circumstances; whether or not we see the opportunities around us to get off the “treadmill”. If we are the ones that change and get a different perspective, maybe see everything through God’s eyes, we would see the difference we could make in the world around us instead of just going through the motions. That’s what I want to avoid at all costs! This is a “first look” of the song, Change Me. I am getting ready to go in and record it for my publisher (so it isn’t a full blown recorded version; it’s really rough). Check it out and let me know what you think about the song and the commentary behind it as well. I hope it says something to you and anyone else you might share it with. Thanks for the feedback! Talk to you next week!!
