Here are a couple of the songs I've written:
My first song:
These Trials
By Joshua Slone, Copyright 2004 Joshua Slone
I’m sittin’ at my desk, working on my math
I can’t seem to get this problem; I just can’t figure it out
My sisters are botherin’ me, I’m losin’ patience fast
But I know there’s a lesson in this, I just need to figure it out
And I need to take these trials, and listen to what God says
I need to be refined; I need to be strengthened
These trials will teach me, they’ll teach me how to live
I want them to teach me, I want to be like Christ
And I’m mowin’ my front lawn, when my mower runs out of gas
In utter frustration, I kick and swear and dance
Then I stop myself, and drop down to my knees
“Lord help me to live, to live as Jesus would”
And I need to take these trials, and listen to what God says
I need to be refined; I need to be strengthened
These trials will teach me, they’ll teach me how to live
I want them to teach me, I want to be like Christ
And I’m sittin’ in my church, and my mind is wand’ring off
Thinkin’ about my troubles, trying to think up plans
I know I need to trust God, but gets so very hard
I need to put my faith, in the One who has control
And I need to take these trials, and listen to what God says
I need to be refined; I need to be strengthened
These trials will teach me, they’ll teach me how to live
I want them to teach me, I want to be like Christ
And I’m losin’ all my rounds, in my speech and debate club
I getting’ quite discouraged, I don’t know what to do
I’ve been doin’ everything right, but it still won’t work out
I think I really need, a dose of humility
And I need to take these trials, and listen to what God says
I need to be refined; I need to be strengthened
These trials will teach me, they’ll teach me how to live
I want them to teach me, I want to be like Christ
Oh I want to be like Christ; Yes I want to be, like Christ
My Favorite song:
Casting Crowns
By Joshua Slone, Copyright Ó 2004 Joshua Slone
I am here before the great Judge of all
Wondering why I am still alive
Then all of a sudden I have a crown on my head
Signifying His love for me, and proclaiming me as a child of His
And I cast my crown before God Above
Sayin’ “I don’t deserve this act of love”
Then He picks me up and says to me
“You are my child and I love you, oh you are my child and I love you”
And as I ponder what God has just said to me
Another crown appears upon my head
With the emblem of God’s chosen engraved upon it
Stating that I have a future with him, in glory forevermore
But I cast my crown before God Above
Insisting “I don’t deserve this act of love”
But He draws me close and speaks to me
“You are my child and I love you, yes you are my child and I love you”
But I still cannot comprehend it all
Why God would give his grace to me
Even though I have committed ten million sins
I still have a crown on my head; yes I still have a crown on my head
And I cast my crowns before God Above
Sayin’ “I don’t deserve this act of love”
But He picks me up and says to me
“You are my child and I love you, oh yes you are my child and I love you”
Oh God how could you have mercy on me
When I was the one who crucified you
You should banish me to eternal death
Rather than put a crown on my head
And I’m casting my crowns before God Above
And sayin’ “I don’t deserve this act of love”
But yet He picks me up and says to me
“You are my child and I love you, yes you are my child and I love you”
And I pick my crowns up and put them on
Accepting God’s living, redeeming love
Then He smiles at me and says again
“You are my child and I love you, yes you are my child and I love you”
“You are my child and I love you, yes you are my child and I love you”
