Overheard at Booth 1: Faith Hope & Charity

FAITH HOPE CHARITY
KEY G
VERSES
/D /G A
BRIDGE
/Em /G A

V1
When I was a child
I spoke just as a child
But now I am not child
And I will put away childish things

V2
But even still we see
Through a glass, dimly,
Even though I know, one day
I’ll know Him as clearly as He knows me.

V3
And the three greatest qualities
are Faith Hope and Charity
But the Love that gives and asks for nothing
Is the greatest love, the greatest of all Three

Bridge
When you are a stranger in a strange land
there is something you should know
It does no good to gain the world
if you have to sell your soul
When you travel door to door
to tell the world of the Good News
If they refuse to receive, then just leave
and shake their dust from off your shoes.

V4
I am saved by grace
I will feel His warm embrace
When I see Him face to face
and I shall know 
even as also 
as I am known

Inspired by Death Cab for Cutie "You Are a Tourist"

Kept the drum beat, used the basic chord structure

Still working on the vocal phrasing, which may be similar.  

Need to know how much of the melody will be considered fair usage.

Overheard at Booth 3: Melody and Harmony

Today, the band leader told one of the singers, "You take harmony"

... and I immediately threw out a little ditty

You take Harmony 
and I'll take Melody
and we'll let everyone sing along

And with a strong back beat
We will sound so sweet
and we will have a brand new song

 

... which of course, CAN have a double entendre, IF you have a dirty mind!

Sickos ... this was written AT CHURCH!

hahahahahaha!

Overheard at Table 4: Little Drummer Boy

Ohmigawd at the ultrasound, this little guy would just not stop kicking!  And turning around and over - he's a dancer.  I mean, he's a SALSA dancer!  The nurse was saying, "Hold still, little guy, I need to get your heartbeat!" and he's just acting like his dad, like he's got his own drum kit in there and he's just drummin' away!

Overheard at Table 4: Yugo

NOTES FOR A SONG

"YUGO"

¾ time

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

28 Venid a mí todos 

los que estáis trabajados y cargados, 

y yo os haré descansar.

29 Llevad mi yugo 

sobre vosotros, y aprended de mí, que soy manso y humilde de corazón; y hallaréis descanso para vuestras almas;

30 porque mi yugo es fácil, y ligera mi carga.
