What I Seek

This song started out just as acoustic guitar and vocals. Partly inspired by the music of Jon Foreman, I thought cello could go great with it, so I sought the help of a fellow musician comrade, Kenneth Stewart, and he kindly lent his talents. When we recorded things, we did it in my bedroom/music studio during the pre-covid-vaccine days. We had some special circumstances for being cautious about covid, so we went about recording while wearing double masks. Ken knocked things out in about 15 minutes, even with his glasses fogging up. 

 

Regarding the theme of this song, it partly touches on why I came to believe in the faith that I do. 

 

A big thank you to Ken for his collaboration on this! 

I’ve found a pearl

of greatest price

it costs everything I have

I must now 

forsake all else

for this treasure I’ve found

 

just your touch heals me

in you I’ve found what I seek

 

all that is good

is from you

I find my life in its source

the things I give 

over to you

it’s there I find they become whole

 

help me to trust

you’re trustworthy

you can do my life better than me

I’ve never known 

someone like this

someone worth everything
