On Wednesday, I went to church to play guitar for Chapel Service. During the Scripture Reading, Psalm 27 was being read. As it was being read, I remembered I wrote a song based on this chapter.
I wrote this song last year. I was in the chapel and a tune came into my head. I noted down the melody. I didn't have any inspiration on the words so I decided to take up the Bible to look for something that I could use as inspiration. And Psalm 27 spoke to me.
If the Lord is my Saviour, who should I be afraid of. If the Lord is the stronghold of my life, who can tear my life apart. As I dwell in the house of the Lord, I know I am in safe hands.
HOUSE OF THE LORD
Date: 10 Nov 2006
Composer: Xianjie
Inspiration: PSALM 27
Key: D#
Verse:
The Lord is my light and my salvation
Of whom shall I fear
The Lord is the stronghold of my life
Of whom shall I be afraid
Pre-Chorus:
When my enemies and foes attack me (they stumble and fall)
Though an army besiege me (my heart will not fear)
Though war breakout against me
Even then
Will I be confident
Chorus:
One thing I ask of the Lord
This is what I seek
To dwell in the house of the Lord
He'll keep me safe in His dwelling
O Hide me in His shelther
And set me high upon a rock
In the house of the Lord
Coda:
In the house of the Lord
In the house of the Lord
In the house of the Lord
