    A God size hole

          I woke up early today. I decided I was going to try to write a song. I have a song that I have been working on called Polaroid Memories. I was planning on working on it. It is a song that I worked on and didn't finish so I started working on it again. Progress has been slow. 

           I flipped on the TV and a preacher was talking about how he came to know Christ. He was talking about how as a teenage he figured out what wasn't working in his life. His Mom was an alcoholic and he knew that wasn't the answer but he still tried it to find out it wasn't the answer to what he needed. He said, He had a God sized hole that he couldn't fill."

           Ding! Ding! That was the songwriter idea bell going off. So I went to my music room and wrote lyrics to my title A God sized hole. The amazing thing is that the song is done. (basically) Songwriters are always tinkering with their songs. Here are the lyrics. 

    A God Size Hole

     

    I have a God size hole in the middle of my soul 

    that's gnaws at me and screams for more 

    so I filled it with money, and expensive things 

    I shoveled some more but the hole still remains 

     

    but I found  the answer to life's mysteries 

    is filling the emptiness inside of me 

    I cry to Jesus, my friend and my Savior 

    He will  fill it cause he placed it there. 

     

    but sometimes I still try even though I know better 

    a lesson forgotten but I need a reminder 

    of whose on the throne, wearing the crown 

    my King in heaven who won't let me down 

     

    but I found the answer to life's mysteries 

    is filling the emptiness inside of me 

    I cry to Jesus, my friend and my Savior 

    He will fill it cause he placed it there. 

     

    I have no doubts, you're more than enough 

    fill me up, oh Lord fill me up 

     

    but I found the answer to life's mysteries 

    is filling the emptiness inside of me. 

    I cry to Jesus, my friend and my Savior 

    He will fill it cause he placed it there.
