Hello all,

been inactive here for a while, been doing a fair bit of writing, but realised I need to get some stuff critiqued to develop my recent songs.

Anyway, this is a first draft so it's very rough-and ready. I prefer to get feedback before I start rewriting so I don't get too attached and not want to change anything! A such this is just lyrics, no audio yet. This is a call-to-worship song, nice and lively, in 4/4 time and in Eb.

Any feedback will be very much appreciated!

thanks 

Simon

Verse 1

From the corners of the earth

From every race and every nation he is calling us

And all who are his people

Bring your brothers and your sisters he is calling you

To the city of God, to the throne of the King

Gathered with the angels, with one voice we sing:

 

Chorus

Holy is the Lord! The Lord of Zion reigns!

Holy is the Lord! He is glorious and strong

You have called us, and so we’re gathered here

A united congregation singing,

Holy is the Lord!

 

Verse 2

Have we wandered from the way,

like lost sheep without a shepherd?

He is calling us.

Have we disobeyed and run,

From his arms and his ways of grace?

He is calling us.

To the city of God, and the throne of the King,

Gathered with the angels, in one voice we sing:

 

Verse 3

Reunited with Him now,

brought together by his strong hand,

He is glorious.

We forget our selfish wants,

Our human dignity dismissed,

He is glorious.

To the city of God, and the throne of the King,

Gathered with the angels, in one voice we sing:

Thanks for sharing
I usually wai for adio to give my two cents but since you asked so nicely...
1st verse how about the word, all instead of, the corners. I feel like you were trying to avoid using the line " from the ends of the earth"
Chorus- I am having trouble imagining singing congregation, why not the word people instead?
Verse 2 I love the 1st line using the reference to the Way but don't like th ways of grace in the 5th line. Could you think of another word to use instead of ways of grace, maybe this life of grace ?
In verse 3 I disagree with the 5th line. I don't believe God asks us to give up our dignity
Can't wait to hear the finished product
Peace
Bizzy

like the idea of being called together to worship.  my 2 cents would be to be consistent with verb tense (calling vs called) within a verse or chorus.  otherwise hard to review the lyrics w/out a melody line or audio.  looking forward to how it evolves, thanks for posting!
