Mike McBride and I only wrote one song together, really, and this is it. I remember working on it in the 'Charismatic hall' below the Chapel at Oblates. He wanted my help with lyrics and transitions and such. He had the words to the chorus and I made up the verses, I think. I suggested going verse, verse, chorus, lead, chorus, verse, chorus. I came up with the lead and I think it was pretty good in those pre-Greg days. I recall playing it for a party at Beth Medeiros' house; we were crammed in a hall way and people were trying to get by me as I was playing and who knows where Jim Gagnon's drums were! This is a total song of thanksgiving for Jesus giving one's life joy and meaning, especially in the Bread and Cup! It's a perfect lead-in to St. Valentine's Day. More to come! |
