Here is the next song I have been inspired to write this year, this one with my own melody. We will work out more formal music later. But for now, I leave you with the words to “My Place” and a rough melody recording set to the nice video produced by my Paul (see video link below lyrics). This was inspired by my pastor’s recent teaching and life events that have reminded me of the sweetness of humility.

My Place

The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul

But my soul has sought life separately in vain

I need His hand to lead me, His strong arm to guide

And by His side, I’ll see the light, I’ll praise His name

Only God knows every time I’ve fought against His higher ways

Only God gives strength I need to make each choice that I must make

My days are numbered

Every one I need God’s grace

He knows best and has prepared a path for me

I’ve been forgiven, yet I’m learning how to run

Not too fast or slow but at my Father’s pace

Lord, keep me in my place

He sets me at a table laden with fair

And He places me within a family true

In this beloved body, I’ve nothing to fear

Speaking, we teach; giving, we love — all for our good

We have been bought by our Lord who paid the price that we could not

We have been led to this place where we can trust the hand of God

My days are numbered

Every one I need God’s grace

He knows best and has prepared a path for me

I’ve been forgiven, yet I’m learning how to run

Not too fast or slow but at my Father’s pace

Lord, keep me in my place
