It's "A Joyful Noise"

Remember the other day, I mentioned a song riff that had popped into my head? And remember that I said that John and I put it down just to capture it? And remember how I said that I needed a topic and some lyrics?

Well, a hook line came to me not too long ago, and it also wouldn't leave my head. I had a formula for a chorus taking shape, too, but that wasn't fully happenin'.

But this morning I got up and wrote the song.

I've been feeling kinda distant from God lately. I've just been too lax. And I was reading in D&C 4 about how we're supposed to serve Him with all our "heart, might, mind, and strength" so that we can "bring salvation to our souls".

Anyway, I've been too distracted with work, school, pressures, etc... to think much about my Heavenly Father, and this song is a reminder of that.

With a funky beat. :-)

Where’s My Soul? (Heart Might Mind and Strength)
D& C 4:2
2/25/2004

Where’s my soul
It was here yesterday
I set it down
To look around
And now it’s gone away
Where’s my soul

Where’s my heart
It was here yesterday
I could feel it beat
In my feet
And now I’ve lost my way
Where’s my heart
Where’s my soul

Where’s my might
It was here yesterday
But now my will
Won’t fill the bill
I don’t know what to say
Where’s my might

Where’s my mind
It was here yesterday
I know what’s best
But before I left
I didn’t think to pray
Where’s my mind
Where’s my soul

I know I had it a while ago
I let it slip out of my hold
Such a simple thing to say
Just to kneel back down and pray
Where’s my soul

Where’s my strength
It was here yesterday
Delilah snipped
My power’s clipped
And I can’t walk away
Where’s my strength
Where’s my strength

Where’s my soul
It was here yesterday
I set it down
To look around
And now it’s gone away
Where’s my soul


Kinda deep, kinda light, kinda fun, but still thought provoking. At least in me, it is...

Sometimes simple is the best.
