Let It Be

2005 Shir is Musak SOCAN
This song in its original form was weak so we had cut it from the list. The chorus was always strong and the intro guitar riff had groove but the verses were convoluted, confusing and without direction. Philip and I both came to the same conclusion. I had two days between a pre-production meeting and I sat down and rewrote the verses. It got a bit more tweaking and it made back on the list. I like this song because it speaks to a growing unity in the body of Christ. We still have a way to go and maybe this song can help a bit. It’s a song that expresses Jesus heart when he said "they shall know you are my disciples when you love one another".
Out of every nation
Filling every land
You’re raising up a people
All who love the great I Am
Let It Be Let It Be x2
One shall say I belong to the Lord and
another shall agree
We shall stand hand in hand in hand
Let it Be
Two shall say "I Belong to the Lord"
And a multitude shall agree
We shall stand hand in hand in hand
Let it be
In every place there are people
Going out to bring them in
The thirsty will find water
Leaving behind their sin
Let it be, Let it be
