    @jane-maree Your song is so…beautiful!  I love the chorus, most of all this line: Creator, Artist, Author, King.  Just making the connection between all of those attributes and characteristics through your song is so neat.

    @dakota Nice going with your song, too!  It does remind me a bit of a hymn, and there’s a lot of truth packed into it.

    So here’s my song.  I’m afraid it’s not a Christian song, necessarily, but it’s a song I wrote when I visited California in June.  Hope you all enjoy – and I’d love feedback!

    Where the water meets the sky
    Blurring the horizon
    Ships are sailing on the clouds
    To the world above.
    Waves are standing still,
    Waiting until
    It fades away;
    Music from the ocean’s shore
    Calls me now to stay.

    Sailboats sway in a waltz with the sea
    Seagulls laugh as they call out to me
    In the sky, so beautifully free.
    Silently, I watch them fly away.

    Twilight rests upon the waves,
    Dancing in the sunlight;
    Aft, abroad, the seabirds fly
    Down the westward road.
    Sun is sinking low,
    Turning to go
    Beyond the sea.
    Night has ended day,
    Washed far away
    Endlessly.

    If you wonder where am I,
    Beyond the sunshine’s glare
    Where the water meets the sky,
    You will find me there.
