I decided to revisit my ambient side with this track. I was split on leaving it this way or adding voice clips. The ambient side won.

Recorded in Reaper with actual instruments mostly. Drums are virtual because I'm no drummer. Never played one on TV, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express(tm) last night. It ended up being about heckling.

Bind My Heart
Verse 1:
Here I am—did You call, Lord?
In the still of night, my heart hears Your voice.
Forgive me, Father, for running once more.
Bind my heart, my feet, and desires to Your humble throne.
Chorus:
Lord, You are my peace…

But I stopped at one—for You are enough.
You're all I need in this life; You lift me when I'm down.
You walk with me through the rain—such a loving friend.

Worries Never Win
Verse 1:

A tree falls in the forest

It’s too early for peaches
And it’s too late…
