In another thread, Phil mentioned his favorite acoustic, and made me think about the one I used to have. And I remembered too, that I had recorded a song I wrote with it, a few years back... 2001.
I was actually an interim music director for my church at the time, and one of our members, had a son that died of cancer in his early 40's. God inspired me to write a song for the funeral, to encourage the family that they would see their son again one say, and join him with God in Heaven. The song came from God, cause I had prayed for him to give me something special for them... Written in 10 or 15 minutes, completed lyrics and all.
I've been playing Keyboard recently (pawned my guitars, and may lose them) so it's nice to hear this, for myself, and REMEMBER that I actually play some guitar too! LOL - I finger pick, pretty much through the whole song. The recording almost doesn't do the rich tone of the Tacoma Acoustic I played it on. But still sounds pretty good.
Check it out:
It's the first song on my profile.
Here In Heaven © 2001 Craig Maxim
The waiting's over,
My soul has taken flight to home
Jesus sees me from His throne
And he says "Welcome home"
The family's crying
The teardrops fall like rain, filled with pain
But here in heaven, the angels sing with joy
I know the tears must fall
But I can't share them with you anymore
There's no tears in my new home
God's ways are perfect,
The time we had a gift he gave
He gently took me from your tender arms,
And He pulled me into His loving heart
Mother's crying
Her teardrops fall like rain, filled with pain
But here in heaven, the angels sing with joy
I know your pain is real
But pain is something, I no longer feel
There's no pain in my new home
(BREAK)
The church is crying
Their teardrops fall like rain, filled with pain
But here in heaven, the angels sing with joy
With joy
Welcome home, welcome home
Oh my child, welcome home
