This week I have two new items available at "Songs of Praise"... (1) A midi for the new song "You Want Me", by Russell Adams and Steve Israel http://songsofpraise.org/youwantme.htm We will make the music score available shortly. This song was included on our new CD. Be sure and hear Steve's great recording and the accompaniment track on mp3.com... http://mp3.com/stations/mysoulsdesire (2) Our friends at "Nova Aliança Igreja Cristã" in Portugal are planning to present the Songs of Praise Christmas play ("The Perfect Gift" / "O Melhor Presente") this year. They have generously provided a Portuguese translation of the entire play, including all the songs. It is available for download at... http://songsofpraise.org/theperfectgift.htm Hopefully they will send some good pictures like they made of the Easter play. Here are the lyrics for "You Want Me"... ==================================== "You Want Me" Copyright © 2001 Russell J. Adams and Steve Israel I have sung to You a thousand different songs, I have praised Your name in languages unknown, And I have fallen on my face And worshipped at Your throne, And still not given You what You've wanted all along. I have climbed the highest hill to spread Your Word, Shouted from the roof so everybody heard, But in the valley of decision Where You asked me to obey, I chose to sacrifice and turn to my own way. All You desire, all You require, Is a simple "yes" to Your one request. Give You my heart, finish to start, Though there's nothing that You need, You want me, You want me. It doesn't matter that the things I do are right. It only matters that with You my heart is right. All You desire, all You require, Is a simple "yes" to Your one request. Give You my heart, finish to start, Though there's nothing that You need. All You desire, all You require, Is a simple "yes" to Your one request. Give You my heart, finish to start, Though there's nothing that You need... You want me, You want me, You want me, You want me. ==================================== Stay tuned... a new song by myself and Larry Holder is coming soon!
