This is a reworking of an earlier song ("First Sail") originally written as a finger-style instrumental guitar study when I was beginning to learn guitar. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzTOt8Ck798&feature=plcp).
This new song is double the measures, uses three electric guitar parts (Fender Stratocaster), two voices (human, male, never gonna be heard on American Idol), and a drum machine. The lyrics are what poured forth when I started thinking about what I wanted to sing about. I wanted to write
a love song. That should be evident
Saved Sinners Psalm - Christopher Klinges - Almost Music (copyright 2012)
Everlasting life eternal, the hope of life for evermore,
All that's here is passing away, but the promise of the Lord is sure,
Those called by the Father and the gift of His faith will abide with Him forevermore,
To live in the place the Lord's preparing in His glory,
That's the life that we are living for.
It never could have happened if He hadn't done it for me,
He cleansed this filthy sinner with the blood that He shed for me,
He died to give me life with Him and entrance to His glory
He wrote me in His Book of Life: His never-ending story,
I never could have earned the gift, He purchased it all for me,
His saints by Him are justified, made clean, righteous, and holy.
All praise, all glory, honor and love be to the Lord.
I love thee Lord Jesus, Lord Jesus Christ my Savior, I love thee my Lord and my God.
I'd like to acknowledge and thank Pastor Nelson Turner of www.AV1611Reformation.com. The Lord has used his faithful preaching of the word of God in the English language, the King James Bible (Authorized Version), to make more and more fruitful His work in me begun when He made me a new creature to love and serve Him faithfully in truth and righteousness by the merits of the Lord Jesus Christ in the power of His Holy Spirit to His honor and glory. If you acknowledge that the Lord God is Sovereign over all and that all power in heaven and earth is given to the Lord Jesus Christ; if the Lord has given you a heart to love and serve Him rather than this world and your lusts; if the Lord has saved you from idols and the man-made gods of false religions and given you eyes to see and ears to hear the witness He makes of Himself in His pure, eternal, infallible word (which we have for our blessing in the King James Bible), you too will find blessings in Pastor Turner's preaching.
