Chris Howland x Drew Ava - Joyful Melody

Worshipful Soul / RnB track with Drew Ava! This song was written years ago and remained as a demo just awaiting the right vocalist. But I crossed paths with Drew Ava here in San Antonio and decided to send him the song. His voice felt so fitting to finally bring it to life! We tried a few different versions and eventually landed on this soul/funk/rnb direction as our final choice, and I'm so happy with how it turned out!
It's very satisfying to see something move from a demo to a finished song that you can share with the world. I Thank God for sending me Drew!
LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
The sweetest words I know
Wouldn't be enough
And all the perfect notes
Wouldn't measure up
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you cast my sin
To the ocean depths
My faults are as far
As the east from the west
No record of wrongs
Are against me kept
Your merciful love
Takes the sting out of death, so...
[Chorus]
How could I not sing
With all You've done for me?
How could I not bring
A Joyful melody, like
La-da-da Da-da-da
A joyful melody like
La-da-da Da-da-da
A joyful melody
[Verse 2]
My cup overflows
The joy in my soul
You gave it to me
When I needed it most
When I needed it most (whoa-oh)
You poured Yourself out
So I could be filled
So I'm living now
In pursuit of Your will
In pursuit of Your will (mmm-mm)
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you cast my sin
To the ocean depths
My faults are as far
As the east from the west
No record of wrongs
Are against me kept
Your merciful love
Takes the sting out of death, so...
[Chorus]
How could I not sing
With all You've done for me?
How could I not bring
A Joyful melody?
La-da-da Da-da-da
A joyful melody like
La-da-da Da-da-da
A joyful melody
La-da-da Da-da-da
La-da-da Da-da-da
La-da-da Da-da-da
La-da-da Da-da-da
La-da-da Da-da-da
