I wrote this song in one setting within one hour during Sunday school when
I was the education director at my dad's church. Everything just
fell together. I was 21 years old. I wrote the melody on the
guitar.
My Thoughts:
I wanted to create a song that reflected my feelings of worshiping the
Lord. I also wanted the song to bring the church into worship.

I wrote this song on the piano over several settings. I originally
wrote the song in the key of F. The last song I had written was when
I was 23 ("I'll Open My Heart"). At this time I was 33 and
wanted to write another song. I had just started working as a
pianist at a church in Zachary, LA. I wrote the Chorus and Verse 1
in one setting. About a month later I finished the song.

When you feel the reverence of his Holy Grace, the sweet spirit in

Long Description
Story Behind the Song
My Thoughts:
This song is designed to bring the church into a praise. There is 3
verses which address the concepts of reverence in praise, the sweet spirit
in praise, and the Spirit's gentle flow in praise.

Music & Music by Michael Thomas (100%)
This was my first song. Written on the guitar, sitting on my bed, when I was 15 years
old. Notice that every line rhymes completely from the top down.
Music came first, then the words.
My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed slow worship songs. This song is my personal
worship to the Lord.

I wrote this song on the guitar: melody first, then words.
My Thoughts:
I wanted to write a song that could be sung as a greeting song to open the
service with. I wanted it the words and music to be as simple as
possible.

I wrote this song in one setting within one hour on the guitar. I
also wrote "He That Dwelleth" on that same day. Was
attending summer school in Bible college and wrote the song in the dorm.
My Thoughts:
I wanted to write a song using a scripture from the Bible (NASB). I
wrote 2 songs (also "Oh Lord Of Host") in one day. I
normally sing the 2 songs together (back to back).

Melody first, then words. Melody was created on the guitar.
My Thoughts:
This song was born out of a desire to be true in my relationship with God
- not hiding behind a spiritual mask. So many people fade away in
their relationship with God.

This song and "Let Him Have His Way" as written together.
In 2003 I was trying to record the songs and I couldn't remember the
melody. I had a very general idea. So I created a new
melody. I remember that the original melody was slow but I decided
to speed up the tempo.
My Thoughts:
In my life, I wanted to be a prisoner to the Lord's love. I wanted
to be imprisoned by my Love.
