Be Like You

So I have finished a new song titled "Be Like You". The problem is that I am not really sure what my creative process was for completing this song. It just kind of came to me. I spent hours upon hours playing guitar and singing till a song was formed. I wonder if this is how other artists write songs. It can't be.

Did Leonardo not know what he was planning to paint before he painted something. I am sure he did, but this song wasn't really planned. I just sang something and I liked it and added to it. Maybe Leonardo did just drop some paint onto a canvas liked the way it appeared and painted around it. I don't know.

Whatever the case maybe, I have finished another song and here is my little explanation of the song:

So the song is titled "Be Like You''. It was definitely my hearts cry last night during my prayer that I wanted to be more like Christ. I just kept shouting out "I wanna be like You, I wanna be like You. Father make me more like You." I grabbed the guitar and started singing just that. "I wanna be like You, I wanna be like You."

Slowly my heart just started tingling, and it began to sing "I will run to you when I am weak or when i'm strong, when i'm right or when i'm wrong. I will run to you". A strong declaration I feel of what a REAL Christian should be. A man or woman that wants to run to Christ whether he is in a good place or a bad place.

The entire song just makes that feeling an anthem the entire way. I couldn't stop singing the song. I spent hours upon hours finishing it. Polishing it and making sure it was just what needed to be said. The rest of the night and even this morning was just me playing this song for hours. It's one of those songs that captures the amount of love man can have for God and in return gives God glory.

I can't wait for ya'll to hear it. It's definitely something you don't want to miss.
