The Ballad

by auraennalle


(verse 1)

I have a story to tell you
About a once upon a time:
A man lived his life for the day He would die.
He gave his everything to everyone
And He never told a lie.
He lived on the edge and was
The apple of God's eye

(chorus)

He lived his life to give us his death
And then he died to bring us life again
Death could not hold him so it cannot hold me;
I have no one to fear 'cause in Jesus I'm free!

(verse 2)

I am free in life
Like I'm free from death;
I've come alive
And I won't go back again.
The author of life
And the master of death
Has pardoned me;
I'm no longer condemned.

Chorus

(verse 3)

There's no end to this story
'Cause it's never really done.
This life is eternal
And free for everyone.
The end's the beginning
Of everything to come;
There is no death for those
Who have met love

Chorus
Chorus

(end)

There is no death for those who have met love;
I know no death because my God is love!

Guitar: (I include this to give those who will understand a better feel for the sound of this song. If you don't understand or don't care, ignore this.)

Wow. I liked that. I do really love ballads, and that was very, very good. I think it gives a very good message, and it has a clear message and meaning. I found the song very uplifting.
Overall, I really liked it. Great job, and I hope to hear more of your songs in the future!

I think, it is song with meaning. It has idea. I like ballads, because it is especially interesting to listen words and music (sometimes there are some songs without meaning or some story).It also was good idea to write chords for guitar. (Unfortunately, I am self-taught guitarist, I know only, how to write piano chords. And I compose songs for guitar with my ear. I must learn, how to write chords for guitar).
I agree with you, that it'll be good, if people, who composes songs for guitar, will write here also chords. :)
I wish you some interesting ideas and inspiration for writing.
