I just graduated on Friday from School of Worship at YWAM Denver. On Monday we listened to our album for the first time which was so awesome! On Thursday night we had our CD Release Party/Concert/Worship Night and it was so amazing. So many people came to support us and they all seemed to really enjoy it. During my song so many people were crying and I even heard some heart-wrenching sobbing. I'll be updating this post in a few days with the link where you can download our album for free. In the meantime, here's the official studio recording of my song: Aeidan. For more information about the inspiration for this song, check out this post.

I wrote this for my third song assignment in the School of Worship that I'm doing. The restrictions were that I needed to be a love song and a story song. I'm not really sure where this came from, other than it had to have come from God because I was so surprised by what came out of me. Honestly, I cried quite a few times while writing it.
It was inspired by the testimony of my friend Josh. But some of the emotion comes from walking with some of my other friends who have gone through similar circumstances. I hope you are moved by it. I would really appreciate feedback and comments if you have any. Today we presented out third songs to our class and I recorded my band playing this song. I hope to record it in studio in two weeks time.
Verse 1:
He heard the news, can it be true?
He's just turned eighteen and she's sixteen
At first fear is overwhelming
But then his heart starts yearning
Maybe he can be to this child
The father he never had
He can lovingly provide
Be a perfect dad
Hope grows, life shows
But his future changes with signs of danger
Chorus 1:
So he sings
"Son I'm here I won't give up on you
My love for you is forever true
Son I'm here I won't give up on you
My love for you is forever true"
Verse 2:
Heartache, heartbreak
At those awful words
A life song so beautiful
Never will be heard
Too soon he enters the world
But never utters a cry
Cradled in his daddy's arms
Their hello is their goodbye
Hope fades, life wanes
The future's bleak, incomplete
Chorus 2:
Still he sings
"Son I'm here I won't give up on you
My love for you is forever true
I lay you in the arms of God
You'll be safe there, but
Goodbye is still so hard"
Outro:
"Aeidan I love you so much, every day my
heart aches
I didn't get to watch you grow or take your first
steps
How I long for that day when we'll meet face
to face
I'll run to you, arms open wide for our eternal
embrace"
