Larry's Songs of Praise and Worship
This is an honest retrospective of my daily walk. I wrote this just a couple of days before my 51st birthday (and sang it as a special the next evening, as I was scheduled to sing a solo Sunday night, with instrumental backup of our praise band). I hope it blesses and encourages anyone else who acknowledges that we don't have all the answers, but we know and trust the One who does.
The recording was done on 4 tracks. The chorused, 12-string guitar effect was done by recording 2 guitar tracks with the same 6-string, except the 2nd time it was played a key lower and capo'd 2. Other than applying some compression on each track, no other effects (reverb, etc) were added to the mix.
Til Pondering Turns To Praise Words and Music by Larry Holder Copyright (C) 2010 Larry Holder The longer that I live The less I really know Of how all things have come to be And which way they will go Yet still I know You're faithful And on this journey, too, To give us daily manna And lead my steps to You... [Refrain] Sometimes it is my unbelief Sometimes it is the veil That keeps us from the perfect sight That one Day will prevail Until that day, Lord, hold my hand And lead me thru the maze Til questions lead to answers And pondering turns to praise. Without your grace and mercy I'd surely quickly fall You are my faithful Savior You are my All in All If I will only listen And seek Your face in prayer You promise You will answer And peace is waiting there... [Refrain] Sometimes it is my unbelief Sometimes it is the veil That keeps us from the perfect sight That one Day will prevail Until that day, Lord, hold my hand And lead me thru the maze Til questions lead to answers And pondering turns to praise.
