Hands Above My HeadRecently wrote a new song called "Hands Above My Head." You can hear a ROUGH demo on my myspace page (www.myspace.com/chadnichols) Here's the "Behind the Music" story... The past two months have sucked. Chase was in the hospital for 15 days; my car broke down...multiple times; my grandmosther past away (wasn't able to go to the funeral because of all of the crap going on here that required shelling out cash); the dog ate my good pair of glasses; my mom had major surgery (again...couldn't afford to go); I rammed someone's car with my "rhino of a car"...and I had to sell my guitars to cover all of this junk. I had joked about writing a song called "Prayer for Floatation"...as I felt like I was sinking fast. I have been frustrated by the way I have responded to these sorts of trials... I act as if I deserve better...and host a pitty party when I don't get it. I was led to write a song placing myself back under the lordship of Christ...regardless of whether I float or sink. He has called me to follow him...to walk by faith and not by sight. I felt the need to say, "I may not have the most graceful gait, but I CAN follow you one step at a time...and I WILL worship all along the way. I will say YES...again." Like I said, it's rough...but o, well. It's just me and the guitar through the soundboard at the church. Enjoy. (You can click the "Lyrics" tab on the music player to see lyrics if ya want.) |
