Songwriters: Jimmy Orr, Chris Taylor
It was a huge pleasure and honour to work with Jimmy Orr on this jazz praise song, written for the October 2022 12 Song Challenge. I played the trombone solo and programmed the rest of the instrument, and you can hear the great singing of Jimmy.
Lyrics
# Intro
You put a song in my heart
When it was cold you lit the spark
Now I'm singing, and I'm bringing
All my gratitude
You put a song in my heart# Verse 1
You put a song in my heart
A shining beacon in the dark
When life is raining I ain’t complaining
Splashing in puddles singing how great thou art# Verse 2
My soul sings Your melody
Your music stirs great joy in me
With every rhythm that You have given
My feet are jiggin' to a different beat# Chorus
What a wonder to worship You
Hear the Spirit in the groove
Don't let me be misconstrued
Music's nothing without You# Verse 3
You put a spring in my step
Promise me "You ain't heard nothin' yet"
Take my hands and lead me dancing
Between the notes there is a heavenly rest# Chorus
What a wonder to worship You
Hear the Spirit in the groove
Don't let me be out of tune
Music's nothing without You# Verse 4
You put a song in my heart
Where do I finish, where do You start?
Major or minor, there's nothing finer
O Great Harmoniser
You put a song in my heart
