Gayle and I are writing some Praise and Worship tunes together as straight up collaborations, and here is one where I am taking the lead vocal. The content is a joint effort.

Hope you like it.

He Is Still Our God

by David and Gayle Snyder

https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs4/he-is-still-our-god


V1

This life we live, brings joy and pain
Sunshine is easy, but oh that rain
Challenges come and our faith is tried
prayers seem to go unanswered
dreams seem to be denied
Cause we always want something
Then we want some more
Even when we don’t know
What we want it for

CH

But He is Still our God, Our God
And He knows our every hurt
and He hears our every word
and He holds us when we cry
and He whispers in our hearts
I have heard, I have heard
Now just believe

V2

His plans for us
Will heal our pain
But it's hard to see it
When the world won't change
try to understand
that love's His master plan
and He holds us all
in the palm of His hand

CH

And He is Still our God, Our God
And He knows our every hurt
and He hears our every word
and He holds us when we cry
and He whispers in our hearts
I have heard, I have heard
Now just believe

BRIDGE

And He says:
All things will work out as they should
All things from me work for your good
Don't let the world your life define
For I am yours and you are mine
Just trust my heart and lean on me
All things will heal just trust and see
Just trust my heart and lean on me
Trust my heart and lean on me
Lean on me

CH

Cause He is still our God, Our God
And He knows our every hurt
and He hears our every word
and He holds us when we cry
and He whispers in our hearts
I have heard, I have heard
Now just believe
Just believe

Very nice... This is undoubtedly one of the best mixes and vocals I have heard from you. Your vocal has a really nice quality to it. There's a smoothness I haven't heard from you before. And a nice write with your wife.

That bass track is really nice. Lots of action in it.

I don't know that I'd exactly call this a P&W song but certainly a good Christian song.

Good message.

Super song, David! Super vocals, too, and the band sounds great, including the subtle guitar breaks. (I THINK I hear a bit of BiaB in there, too. That pulsating steel near the end sounds familiar.) Super arrangement, mix and master as well. I'm a little disappointed because I was anticipating a duet, but other than that, I really enjoyed hearing your P&W excursion. Ha!

Thank you Herb! Very nice of you to say!

I appreciate the kind words. Yeah I guess not yelling into the mic is a good idea sometimes.

Superb! You guys are so good at collaboration. This is a beauty. So well sung, and I really like movement in the melody. Of course, the lyrics are so well polished and fit the feeling perfectly. I love the bass, too. Excellent mix and very inspiring.


Enjoy whatever happens!

I've got say David, this has got to be my favorite PW song of yours. Absolutely love the writing. I was hooked with that first verse, and the others were just as good. Really, really like it. The way the pedal steel comes in at the bridge sounds great and adds a lot. I might have faded it out a little sooner, but it works well as is. You've got yourself a great writing partner there. Looking forward to more!

Being neither a praise nor worship expert, I don't know if you nailed that genre, but I do know that this is a beautiful song and beautifully sung.
I think I've already told you that you sound SO much better if you don't strain your vocal cords all the time (both in terms of frequency and intensity).
Definitely one of my favorite songs from you!

David & Gayle,

Everything about this is gold! Your vocal is smooth, the tracks are perfect, and the arrangement is spot on. And what a great lyric! yeah - you hit the nail squarely on the head. A great song and a great listen. Tip of the hit to both of you.

Very pleasant song in this genre. I enjoyed how the message, the calming melody & arrangement and the emotional vocals make you feel safe "in the palm of His hand".

Excellent production. Big majestic sound in the chorus. I dig that bridge, you really let loose in it.

"Sunshine is easy, but oh that rain" - I love that line!

Hi, David.

Good write. The first chorus sets things up so you know what's coming:

   Prayers seem to go unanswered
   Dreams seem to be denied
   Cause we always want something
   Then we want some more


and the rest of the song delivers the goods. Well sung, nice build, solid arrangement - all around excellent work. smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

We can see the congregation with arms raised high, swaying back and forth.

The backing band is majestic and your vocal well expresses the soul, heart and sincerity of the lyric.

Great mix also! It has a fine open feel with plenty of dynamics.

Nice one y'all!
