Ok, it's about time I made a thread for my songs. I have at least a CD's worth and have never posted them in a seperate thread other than my blog. Here goes.....

[hapa_angel]

Verse 1
I cry out for You / I need You desperately
'Cause once again I have / lost my way
I need Your loving guidance / To show me where to go
Lord, please send Your Spirit / to lead me home

Prechorus 1
I know You've said You love me / But why, I don't understand
And after all that I put You through / You're still reaching out Your hand
I know You want to help me / But there's so much I don't see
And all the things I've learned in Sunday school / Are a profound mystery

Chorus
Lord, hear my prayer, help my unbelief, I know You want to free me
Lord, take me there, to where I'll understand what You're trying to teach me
Take me in Your arms, and never let me go
I'm Yours, I'm Yours

Verse 2
Lord, You know I'm grateful / For all You brought me through
But this world makes it hard / to follow You
But Lord, I wanna try to / To see things from Your eyes
And forever / You have my life

Prechorus 2
You know I don't understand You / But I'm glad I don't have to try
'Cause I don't know how someone like me / Can be the apple of Your eye
You know that I'm not perfect / When I want what You have in store
But I only give You a corner / When You want so much more

(Chorus)
I'm Yours, I'm Yours, even more than I know.


*edit* I added the clip.

You've searched the world only to find
Dtriad     Em       Dtriad   C2
That the one that got away

Was right in front of you          all this time

Oh, the one that got away
     D       G           C2              C2 (hammer-on w/ index finger)
Is still in love with you     to this day (leave it hanging!)

My masterpiece.       

[hapa_angel]

C
  Stuck between the pages
     Em
Of letters unread and stories unsaid

C
  Gather all the pieces
     Em
Of puzzles undone and battles unwon

            C
And every day has the same beginning
                     Em
What more can I say, I'm still remembering

        Am7
And I miss you, you just left me here
         Em                                              (Dtriad 2nd time)
And I miss you, somehow you disappeared (2x)



C
  Run around in circles
        Em
Like someone possessed, I must confess
C
  I got lost in your eyes
        Em
Can't find a way out from a season of doubt

            C
And every time I sit here pondering
     Em
I realize how far I'm wandering

(chorus)
            C
And every season has its time
             Em
So tell me when - you will be mine

(chorus) 

[hapa_angel]

(verse 1)
G                                    Em7                      C2
You just want somewhere to go,  somewhere to be
G                               Em7               C2
So you tell me that you want   a little peace

(pre-chorus 1)
Em7                  C2
And now, you're keeping silent
Em7              D
Tell me, is it time well-spent?

(chorus)
G                                D/F# Em7
   This world can take it all away
(Em7)                                           D  C2
   So why don't you spend some time today-
             Bm7   C
   With me

(verse 2)
G                     Em7                        C2
I just want us to be         more than friends
G                               Em7            C2
But I hate how you keep me   in suspense

(pre-chorus 2)
Em7                 C2
Why won't you show what you're made of
Em7               D
Tell me, what are you afraid of?

(bridge)
B                                            C
So take that step, just take a chance
                                    Dtriad  B
Are you so scared of a little romance
(B)                                       Em7
Just cross the line, come to my side
                       C2
You've got no reason to hide (chorus)

Very nice stuff.
I think "The One That Got Away" was my favorite. But "Disappeared" came a close second.

Keep writing, I love your songs. Sorry no RC's.

Hey thanx Mark!


Ok.. I have the beginning of another one here. This is just sappy-crappy stuffs I'm currently working on tho...



Sunday Afternoon

Hush your talking now / silence your lips
Not a lot of things in life / get as good as this
Savor the moment / enjoy your dreams
Not everything in this world / is quite what it seems

And I couldn't ask
for anything more


On a Sunday afternoon / there's nowhere I'd rather be
Than lying in your arms / eternally

[bobthecockroach]

Good stuff! You have a great voice and a great sense of rhythm and melody. That's a hard combination to come by these days. I'll have to agree with Mark and say that "The One That Got Away" was my fav. They were all good though, I enjoyed listening!

[Scott]

Hey Rachel,

I like your stuff, you've got some nice ideas and some nice chords going down (an EmM7? sweet).

[hapa_angel]

hehehe thanx Bob, Scott!

[hapa_angel]

I just typed it all up in my blog... so here it is.


There Is Hope


Please go look!

[hapa_angel]

I cannot find the words to say
To tell you how I feel
They haven't been invented yet
I've been watching you from far away
Wanting to get closer
But feeling so inhibited

And time passes
The hours click so slowly by
I'm losing chances
To get to know the you inside

Where have you been my whole life
Baby, I don't wanna scare you away, but I
Just wanna be by your side
Today


This thing is just within my reach
But just beyond my grasp
So near and yet so far off
The angels dropped you at my feet
And now I'm scared to tell you
You're everything that I dreamed of

[GradyMann]

Nice stuff Rachel, My definate favorate is "Disappeared" I love the way you did all the vocal melodies......I wish I could sing.

[salvaged]

Very good!!!!!!! you got great writting abilities! and have such a way with words and emoition. very talented, keep it up.

[jfahler03]
