Source of the Wind
Can you live with the mystery?
Can you explain all that's inside of me?
Is it foolish to base your living belief
Only on what we can measure to be?
I have been to the ending of my understanding,
Where myst'ry begins
If I limit my living to what I can master,
I close myself in
I'm turning my back on the Source of the Wind
Find your comfort in the thought that you're free;
Make your choice now--choose your slavery
Dreams of money or a junkie's retreat,
Running away from reality
I face up to the challenge of hearing my calling,
His voice comes again
I am happy to bow down to Whom I have found now,
To let Him sink in
And find I am loved by the Source of the Wind
I face up to the challenge of hearing my calling,
His voice comes again
I am happy to bow down to Whom I have found now,
To let Him sink in
And find I am loved by the Source of the Wind
Source of the Wind
Good things : Great walking dissonance in the accompaniment. This works great with questioning nature of the song. The chorus is very happy, bright, and a radical change from the verse. THe melody line works great with chord structure and rhythm of accompaniment. You take the very popular saying, "We can not see the wind but we see the effects of the wind. In the same way we do not see God but we see the effects God has on those who love Him." This source drives all Christians to serve him with the entirety of our hearts, souls, and minds.
Things to work on : There is a radical change between the verse and chorus. Musically, it almost seems like two different songs. Textually I see the reason for the change. Consider using full word 'mystery' instead of clip alternative. You can massage the melody line a little to make this happen. Also, a six string guitar could add more depth to the chordal structure of the song while also keeping the same descending line.
