Psalm 1

Psalm 1
@2014 Stephen G Brown



This was written as a "first fruits" offering for a songwriting group I participate in.  I have an alternate section for the section beginning "He will be like a tree", but I haven't recorded that version yet.


Psalm 1

D
How blessed is the man who does not walk
       C
In the counsel of the wicked,
    G                    D
Nor stand in the path of sinners,
    C
Nor sit in the seat
G                           D
Lord like I do, the seat of scoffers!

D
Blessed the man whose delight is
       C
In the law of the Lord,
    G                 D
And in His law he meditates  (both night and day)

D
He will be like a tree planted by the water
G
A tree that gives good fruit when it's time comes
D
All its leaves stay green, you will not see them wither;
G
And all his does, finds victory.

D
The wicked, my Lord, they are not so,
         C
They are lost like the chaff
G                              D
Lost like the chaff and blown away.

D
The wicked will not stand in the judgment,
C
And sinners have no place among
  G                       D
Among your righteous assembly

        D
For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
        C
But the ways of the wicked
    G                       D
The ways of the wicked will perish

This was written for a challenge to write a song about bears.  Here it is.  I hope you'll sing along.

I started this in January of 2012, and promptly forgot about it.  I stumble upon it a few days ago, did a bunch more work on it, and, well, here it is.

(Hmm.  I'm not sure when I create this post, but I started it at some point, and promptly forgot about it.  I stumbled on it just now, and, well, here it is.)

I searched for the sheet music from which it was produced, and I can't find it.  :(

Lyrics:

Keep watch with me while I grieve, while I grieve, while I grieve
Peter, sons of Zebedee, Zebedee, sons of Zebedee

Sleep, while you sleep
The hour is at hand
Keep watch with me
While I grieve

Father, take this cup from me
Take this cup, take this cup from me

Sleep, while you sleep
The hour is at hand
Keep watch with me
While I grieve

You can get a PDF of the sheet music here

Where The Broccoli's At

Last year I started publishing songs on FAWM under the name My Stupid Brother.  That's where I put the songs that were just silly and didn't really belong on my brownium account, which is only for very serious stuff.  Very serious indeed.  Anyhow, this was something My Stupid Brother wrote last year.

Where the broccoli
Where the broccoli
You eat a lot
But you don't get fat
I tell you this
And I tell you that
Where the Broccoli
Where the broccoli's at

This is something that I like to play semi-improvised.  I have all the elements worked out, but I put them together differently when I play it.  I've never managed to get a good take all the way through, so I'm giving you the best I can do.

Woman I Can Trust

I have a wonderful wife.

Woman I Can Trust
©2013 Stephen G Brown



You know she is dependable
She'll never be on time
She'll do just what she says she will
If it don't slip her mind
But I know that I can trust her
With all that matters most
And I'm glad my tender heart is in her hands

I'm headed off to work again
My cloths a wrinkled mess
"At least I got them washed"
She says, in her old wrinkled dress
But never have to wonder
If the kids get what they need
And I'm glad my tender heart is in her hands

Chorus
I know that her heart is as big as a mountain
Her love is deeper than the sea
And I want nothing more than to stay here beside her
And she wants to stay here with me

Well I'll never make a fortune
Hell, I hardly make a dime
I'd give her what she wanted
But all I've got is time
But she never asks for nothing
At least, nothin she don't need
And I'm glad my tender heart is in her hands

Ain't Hay

This is FARM PUNK!!!

Played by my band Thumper and Smash.  Thumper on bass, Smash on Drums.  Everyone gets some vocals in there.  And here's where you learn that I am no lead guitar player.
