When I first started my “Worship EP” project I thought I’d go through and cover a few songs that I love and that would be the end of it. It seems that God would rather I continue this project. A While back I wrote and recorded a song called “A New Life Begins”. This was written for my daughter just before she was born. Since I have another due to be here within the next few months I thought it would be fitting to write her a song too.

I have gone through several partial songs but never came up with anything I really liked. I finally came up with a Bm7 to G progression that I loved and I knew this was it. As I strated to write lyrics the song took on a new life. I started thinking about how amazing new life is. Then I thanked God for all that he continually  does for us. I said “God, I am forever amazed, and I worship you.” With those words this song transformed into a song meant to worship our God and King. I hope it ministers to your heart.

Lyrics

Teach me o God to cherish the little things
Like the laugh of a child or the song of the summer birds
For you formed in your hand all of these awesome things
Forever amazed I worship you

Teach me o God to ponder your every word
Because the Word became flesh and conquered sin and death
Forever in debt my life is yours
Forever amazed I worship you

Teach me o God to live as the Spirit leads
To follow clouds by the day and flames by the night
I am saved by your grace a sinner now clean
Forever amazed I worship you

Help me o God when I walk through the desert land
Though I feel all alone your amazing love is there
I will never go thirsty for I’m full of living water
Forever amazed I worship you

Hear me o God as I lift my praises to you
Heaven is wonderful no words can describe
Forever amazed I worship you
Forever amazed I worship you
