music of Reev

Found this in the archives of good ol’ 2002!

Here’s a song I arranged for singer-songwriter Lea Edrosolan-Santos before she got married. She sang this acapella on a tape recording and I worked with her melody. We jammed and recorded it one afternoon. So happy with how the vocals turned out. Her harmonies are amazing.

Can’t say it enough: I love working with talented people. Lea, let’s do your other songs!

I’ve been far away going on my way
From a distance longed for You
Caused Your love I’ve tasted
And I’ve seen that it’s all true

But in the mire of self
With this cold, dark heart
I can only hold as tight
On things that I’ve let to get
Between me and You

Can’t find my way back to the arms
Where I once was
It seems I’ve done it all
Until I heard You say

Chorus:
It’s my way not yours
Remember I am yours
Let go and you’ll know
Let go and you’ll know
The love I have for you
That I’m faithful and I’m true
And there’s one thing more
I just simply want to be with you

In the light I need to break in
Through this darkness I have been
Came to ease the pain and shame
Of having turned away

I was taking steps of faith
Drawing near to be with You
But only found myself
Failing You once again

But found my way back to the arms
Where I once was
I know I’ve done it all
Cause I trust You when you say

Chorus

Bridge:
You may run
But you can’t hide
Form My love that keeps on burning deep inside
You may fall
But there’s one thing that stands true
I will always be with you
Cause I want to be with you

Chorus
