Lyrics

We take a breath and get out of bed
And yet we forget to praise you Lord
We open our eyes and clearly see the sky
And yet we forget to thank you Lord

Forgive us when we neglect you Lord
And forgive us when we forget


There's a bird in a tree singing his melody
And yet we forget to praise you Lord
The storm has passed and the sky is blue
But we got too many other things to do


Forgive us when we're careless Lord
And forgive us when we forget

Your Son came down to seek and to save
And yet we forget to praise you Lord
He commissioned us to do the same
But we got too many too other things

Forgive us when we neglect you Lord
And forgive us when we forget

The Christian Bob Dylan style (Slow Train Coming)! I'm a minister, so I dig it. Nicely done. Great song idea - we do forget. I preach this to my church all the time!

A very nice heartfelt song. I can always feel the passion in this mans voice and music. He is a wonderful musician and very distinctive in his talent. Another great piece of music.

This reminded me of Tom Petty. This is a reverent Christian Rock/Pop song. The strongest element of this song are lyrics. The simple words and simple message are really well executed, there are a couple of really subtle alliterations that show the writer has a really talent for creating simple pictures with words. The lyrics are also consistent and continue to "prove the chorus" It's also a current inditement on the times we live in and we forget to reflect on the beauty around us "The bird in tree singing a melody" The voice is thin a shaky and has a vulnerability to it that makes it endearing.

overall nice song this song has potential i do believe!
it sets a nice tone and has a nice message. the guitar is recorded nicely

Dylanesque religious song, with some appreciable melodic touch.

It is a great positive feeling song! Watch the pitch and add more groove for the quiet places! The lyrics were pretty good!

This song has a lot of potential, and it has a great message.

the lyrics tune is good ... very gospel and its like a prayer which warms your heart .. and speaks of things you should be grateful the dear lord ...

I always like a song that praises the lord. I am pretty sure I know who this is because you have a distinct sounding voice. I liked the song.
