Ephphatha Music: Only Together
http://ephphathamusic.blogspot.com/2009/03/only-together.html
Original songs by an ordinary Christian. Sunday, March 15, 2009. Only Together" is a song that came to me after one of Pastor Reed's messages. If it has a scriptural foundation it must be from one of Paul's letters, like in Colossians 3:14 when he says " And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.". I played the song a lot faster than it should be played. This ought to be a nice slow gospel ballad with a slightly jazzy feel. C - - - - - - - - - - Am5-7. No need...

Ephphatha Music: On the Third Day
http://ephphathamusic.blogspot.com/2009/03/on-third-day.html
Original songs by an ordinary Christian. Monday, March 16, 2009. On the Third Day. On the Third Day" is my Easter song. It's meant to celebrate the wonder and mystery and awe that came into the world three days after the misery of Golgotha. Try as I might, the song doesn't do much justice to what that experience means, both then and now. Who's that doofus playing the piano? Yeah, that's me. "Who's that super-flat voice trying to sing that bridge? Yep, me again. Key of A, 4/4 speed about 94. B B G# A B F#.

Ephphatha Music: Glorious Failures
http://ephphathamusic.blogspot.com/2009/05/glorious-failures.html
Original songs by an ordinary Christian. Monday, May 18, 2009. This is Take 2 of this song. The original audio was pretty bad. I'd love to do this one if "full rock" mode with guitars and drums some day. - MT. I'm a terrible piano player. In fact, I'm not a piano player at all. I'm a bassist (sometimes). So it took me about 45 tries to get this end-to-end track, with both of my daughters giggling at me while I stumbled through my many attempts. Jesus told him,. How many times have I thought, "I'm the you...

Ephphatha Music: Cry Out Your Name
http://ephphathamusic.blogspot.com/2009/03/cry-out-your-name.html
Original songs by an ordinary Christian. Wednesday, March 18, 2009. Cry Out Your Name. Psalm 130.1 : “Out of the depths I cry to you, Oh Lord.”. I like thinking about Jesus and what he was like in life. What did his mother call him? Probably not "JEE-suss" in our western drawl. The traditional Hebrew spelling and pronunciation is "Yeshua.". OK, one more note: my apologies again for the recording. If I can't sing and I can't play the piano, imagine how hard it is to do BOTH at the same time? Ye- shu - a -...

Ephphatha Music: Know Me
http://ephphathamusic.blogspot.com/2009/06/know-me.html
Original songs by an ordinary Christian. Tuesday, June 16, 2009. I made some revisions to Know Me, with new lyrics in the bridge and a slightly different tag at the end. - MT. Do songs have gestation periods? I don't know, but it certainly feels as if some songs take longer to come to fruition than others do. Know Me" stems, I think, from 1 Corinthians 13:12: "Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.". Key of G 4/4 Ballad Feel:100. The smallest drop of rain falls in a fathom...

Ephphatha Music: Is This The Love
http://ephphathamusic.blogspot.com/2009/04/is-this-love.html
Original songs by an ordinary Christian. Saturday, May 30, 2009. Is This The Love. Some songs take a lot of work. I had to go back to this one about 4 times: Once for the chorus' lyrics, once to change the key, once to rewrite the verses. finally to transpose to a lower key and add a key change. (I say that last bit so matter-of-factly, when transposing keys and writing a key change still seems like voodoo magic to me.). Frees me from my sin, frees me from my self-centeredness, frees me from my demons?

Ephphatha Music: Be Still
http://ephphathamusic.blogspot.com/2009/03/be-still.html
Original songs by an ordinary Christian. Sunday, March 15, 2009. Be Still" is the first song I ever wrote. It surprised me when it came rushing out of me, tumbling out in a way I'd never experienced before. It's inspired by, and dedicated to, the God who says in Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God.". The bridge is supposed to have a big swelling buildup with the instruments coming in behind the voices. but that's hard to pull off when you're one fumbling piano player! Key of G Speed 120. We̵...
