Brother (Original Song)

This is the newest song that I've written. Please excuse the guitar playing. The bar chords start working on my carpal tunnel after a while and those chords that should sound pretty and clean...start to not sound very nice after a while. Anyway, thank you for taking the time to listen. I hope that you like it. Please feel free to comment! Thank you very much.

Brother

Verse 1
Looking back I see
A lifetime laid before me
So full of wonder
At times I lost the way
In a haze of my mistakes
They pulled me under

Pre Chorus
Ooo But You knelt low to raise me high
(whenever I fell down)
Ooo And though no words could pierce my ears




(Youd speak without a sound)

Chorus 1
Brother can You hear me
Calling home tonight
Have my words found peace on angels wings
Then carried to Your side
I just wanted You to know
In the depth of my despair
A body laid bruised and broken
But its heart was well aware
That You came
You gave
Everything I never knew I needed
Youre hand
Replaced
All the madness of a life in pieces
And instead of letting go




You came and made me whole

Verse 2
I slowly turn the page
And reveal another day
My surrender
Where You silenced my mistakes
With a price I couldnt pay
And left me breathing life anew

Pre Chorus
Ooo When You reached out Your hand to mine
(with a gift of healing)
Ooo It opened up my eyes to find
(that Im alive again)

Chorus 1
Brother can You hear me
Calling home tonight
Have my words found peace on angels wings
Then carried to Your side
I just wanted You to know
In the depth of my despair
A body laid bruised and broken
But its heart was well aware
That You came
You gave
Everything I never knew I needed
Youre hand
Replaced
All the madness of a life in pieces
And instead of letting go
You came and made me whole

Bridge
Scenes of yesterday
Replay endless memories
In the rearview
I can see You holding me
You know where Ive been
And what I will become
Still You help me to hang on.

Chorus 2
Brother can You hear me
Calling home tonight
Have my words found peace on angels wings
I just wanted You to know
In the depth of my despair
That I was well aware
That You came
You gave
Everything I never knew I needed
Youre hand
Replaced
All the madness of a life in pieces
And instead of letting go
You came and made me whole
Brother I know
Its You that made me whole

Great job Bro! Guitar playing sounded fine to me, no problem with the chords... Just curious, what kind of strings you got on your acoustic? I put very light gauge on my Tak, it really helps make the bar chords manageable. And I find that the light strings are harder to pop too so that's a nice side benefit. :D.

I really like the progression and the groove of the song, nice job.

Thanks for sharing and keep on praising Jesus in song! :D

@Lonehawk316 Hey Hawk...thank you very much. I actually play with light gauge strings as well. My problem is because of carpal tunnel. It just really flares up after too much bar chording...it's ok though. Thanks again!

Really nice music and great lyrics!!!! :D

I hate playing bar chords on acoustic guitar. Electric guitars are easier. :P But I thought you sounded ok. :)

@cartoonistmusician Thank you! Carpal tunnel seems to be getting the best of me these days and with a song like this one where I play bar chords for most of it...on an acoustic...it really starts to hurt after a while and I have trouble holding down the strings. Thank you though...I'm glad it didn't detract too much.
