Save The Day

Recorded Live at Carmen Tong's Album Launch as part of the opening set on 22/02/2008. Thanks to Sarah Ann Tay. Featuring GuoJin on Drums, Seong Lee Ang on keys and backing vox, Devon Vong on Guitars, Grace Chin-Lenn on Acoustic, Rodney Chieng on Bass and myself on vocals and guitars.

Adapted from Psalms 120 & 121, this is one of the song of ascents. I often wondered what a modern day psalmist would sound like when they scale their mountains and valleys and what melodies they'd put to these ancient poetry. This is my interpretation, certainly reflective of my personal cry in so many parts of my journey as a son learning to walk in the shadow steps of the Father. This is "Save The Day".


I lift up my eyes to the hills
where does my help come from
It comes from the maker of heaven and earth
The maker of my soul
Oh yeah the maker of my soul
Oh yeah, Oh Yeah the maker of my soul

[Verse 2]
i call on the Lord in my darkest hour
and He answers me
He has delivered me from my fear
and he hides me under his wings
Oh yeah in the shadow of His wings
Oh yeah, Oh Yeah in the shadow of His wings

[Chorus]
My God, My God
How awesome is your name
My God My God
How awesome is your name
There is no one else like you
No one else who would save the day

[Verse 3]
Save me Oh lord from these lying lips
those that contemplate my soul
Save me oh lord from these meaninglessness
And these shadows that cower over me
Oh yeah, won't you come and save the day
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm crying out to you.

[Bridge-Verse]
i searched for the Lord in hour of rest
and He quiets my soul
He has delivered me fro my fear
oh the Lover of my soul
Oh yeah the Lover of my soul
Oh yeah, Oh Yeah the Lover of my soul
