Description
Comtempory Christian music like you've never heard; unbelievable song writing & guitar playing. Covers many styles from jazz to blues, rock to funk.
Notes
What i tryed to create with this project was groove oriented christian music in a variety of styles .
making music with interesting chord changes . keeping it simple,and not clouding the songs with a lot of production or over barring guitar . i did find time at the end of all the songs for a solo or two . (it was killing me)
Lyrics at very bottom of page
1. One thing GOD can't do = the chorus of this song came to me after hearing a black pastor on the radio . i wrote this song on a acoustic guitar , but i liked the wy it sounded when i played it on piano so i let the piano carry this tune . with the lyrics i wanted something halfway intelligent and new and wound up giving myself headaches from thinking so hard trying to accompish this . my favorite part of this song is the bridge . it contain some beautiful "maj.11th" and altered bass chords . i hope the song sample last long enought for you to hear it .
2. JESUS knows you've got the blues = I've always found it amazing how blues music can put a smile on my face . it came to me that you don't hear many christian blues tunes so i figured i'ld write one and use a different blues turn around after each verse . the opening piano riff of this song came to me after listening to some big band songs from the 40's . the opening piano riff is G to C7b9 . for the guitar solo i thought i would try to atempt ( and i mean try ) a george benson scat with the guitar . once again i hope the song sample last that long .
3. The fall = i woke up one morning with the music to this song running through my head and with just the words "watch out for the fall" . musically it's just a jazz way of playing ( in writters terms ) a 1 , 6 , 2 , 5 . other than that i had a great time experimenting writting the horn lines . the song is about greed . my friend eddie bush of "one flew south" did a great job on the vocals .
4. Celebrate = this is a song i wrote mainly for kids . It's about the small things that GOD does to show us that he loves us . things we often take for granted . I had gotten away from writting songs useing basic G , C , and D chords and thats what people can relate to . for a ear twist i added a Fmaj.9 on the turn around. the guitar solo at the end is my favorite guitar solo on this project . mixed with a fretless bass . to me is very moving .
5. Trust in me = I'm not much of a piano player but it's my favorite instrument and i love what technology has done for the voicing of the instrument . i just sat down and started playing the opening line one day and the words trust in me just sort of flowed well with it , so i wrote the song around that . the music for the verses just sort of fell below my fingers . i love the Amin.9 chord starting off the verses . it sets the mood for a great city jazz feel and made for some interesting vocal melody lines . the lyrics for the verses were another headache experence . i worked on them for days . this is another guitar solo that i'm proud of .
6. You move me = this song started out as a filler for the project . i came up with it one day while sitting bored to death in my back yard . once again trying to write more songs useing G , C , and D . I tryed to do something different with this song and orginally recorded it useing an accordion , marching drum , tamborine , upright bass and other odd instruments but it came out sounding awful and i mean awful . after switching back to acoustic guitar a full drum kit and other standard instruments it turned out great . the cool sounding vocal patch on the keyboard near the end happened by accident so i kept it . i didn't add the mandolin until mix down and it pulled the whole song together .
7. He just wants = I wrote this song on the way home from fishing . while thinking about all the sermons i've heard throughout my life . they all end with the same point which should always be remembered and that is : GOD loves us so much that he just wants us to know , believe and confess that Jesus is his son and that he dyed on the cross for our sins .
8. Lay your hands on me = the pastor of my church said he wish someone would write a southern rock worship song . while trying desperately to sleep that night it was killing me so i got up and wrote the whole song in about 30 minutes . this rarely happens but when it does it turns out pretty good .

Lyrics:
ONE THING GOD CAN'T DO
music & words written by: Keith Bruce
copyright 2001 BMI
Here's the story, the written Law
You can paint by the numbers, See it all
We are saved by grace, through faith & love we're forgiven
Don't forget that, He's Been it, Done it, Seen it, Bleed it all
Everyone around me says I'm talking to myself
Don't much understand me cause it's you & not myself
Oh I must relieve myself of these insecurities
As we learn to live among ourselves
His love keeps showing me
CHORUS
There's Just One Thing
That GOD Cannot do
That's Lie To You
Storms around me we're going to get it and
He can plant in december, in the sand
After lies and hate seeds of love will spread all around us
In the mean time He'll Sow It, Grow It, Tow It, Bless It All
Everything he tells me is laid out on the line
Someone has to give me a good talkin' to this time
Oh I can't believe all my inconsistancies
As we learn to reinvent ourselves
His love keeps showing me
CHORUS
These Truths I See I Can't Hide It
He's Everything I Need
CHORUS
.....................................................................................
THE FALL
music & words written by: Keith Bruce
copyright 2001 BMI
He wants to live a lasuevious life
Big house , a beautiful wife
Kick the neighbors as they stare
Shine on rockets red glare
Betting everything he can
Dealing for a better hand
Roll the dice and watch him dance
Waiting for his second chance's
(chorus)
Sometimes we all want to live a crazy life
With GOD's love around me
Nothings going to blind me
We'll still live for ever
Just watchout for the fall
Money dosen't mean suscess
Way we look , How we dress
Thinking that we're getting stronger
As the list grows ever longer
Lord help us live a better life
That of men , not as mice
Help us to seek out the pain
Driveing us for greater Gain
(chorus)
We want everything that we see
See behind the handshake of greed
(chorus)

JESUS KNOWS YOU'VE GOT THE BLUES
copyright 2001 BMI
Jesus Knows You've Got The Blues
And You're Wondering When He'll Come Through
Just Sit'in Round
With You're Head Down In You're Shoes
Jesus Knows You've Got The Blues
Jesus Knows When Things Aren't Right
You Must Remind Yourself
To Keep Your Eye On The Light
Many Times While Blinded He's Been Our Sight
When Everything Keeps Going Wrong
It's Hard To Be Strong
You'll never Lose
He Knows What You're Going Through
Cause Jesus Knows You've Got The Blues
Sit'in Round Feeling Pain
We Only Have Ourselfs To Blame
But, You Know When It Comes To The Hard Times
We Grow
Just Sit'in round, Sit'in Here Just Singing The Blues
But, Jesus Knows you've Got The Blues

Something is gone in my world, I can feel it
Something so strong is trying to fill up this space
Nowhere to run, I can't hide, from this spirit
Show me the son, and his loving grace
Oh, right here I stand a plain common man trying to fight it
This light that I see, knows all my needs
His love fills inside of me.
CHORUS
Cause, he just wants me, just wants you, just wants anyone
To say that for our sins Jesus died
Cause, he just wants me, just wants you, just wants anyone
To know, that's how much he loves our lives
It begins, and ends with Christ crucified
With my heart and my trust he will guide me
In my heart there's a love parade
I believe with his blood he has saved me
Spirit in me I am not afraid
Oh, dear friend till the end
I'm ashamed of the sins inside of me
What'll I do if everything crumbles, and falls
Strengthen my ways, I stand in the praise of you
CHORUS
