<\/a><\/p>\nI’m not sure whether that matters.<\/p>\n
When I posted the song Why<\/i> (listed and linked below) I mentioned that I preferred to have it segue from this song. They are both worship songs, in the key of D, with similar instrumentation, beat, and tempo. I did not do that here.<\/p>\n
Cardiac Output performed this; I’m not certain whether we did it with two vocals or with the third middle vocal I omitted here. At the time I made the recording, I was concerned about whether the vocals included unsupported parallel fourths and whether that would create the sort of acoustic problems for which they are known, but I thought it would be too much work to check for them and see if there was a simple fix, so I simply left out the middle voice. That may be part of why I ranked it twenty-eighth for performance and recording, although it might also be because I didn’t really like the sound of my voice on the soprano part, particularly on the solo second verse. I listed it twenty-fifth for quality of the song itself, and Tristan did not include it in his list, so it landed at number thirty.<\/p>\n
This recording<\/a> was one of the early vocals over midi instruments ones I made in the early aughts. The midi guitar is not as expressive as a live acoustic version, but is technically fairly accurate, and the bass guitar adds something worthwhile. The lead guitar at the end happens to facilitate a transition into Why<\/i>, but predates the connection and provides a satisfying ending.<\/p>\n To the Victor<\/i><\/b><\/font>.<\/p>\n So here are the lyrics.<\/p>\n Forever in Your hand You sent Your Holy Blessed Son. Forever in Your hand You came and gave Your life to me. Forever in Your hand You came and filled me with your power. Forever in Your hand I can only hope you benefit from the song in some way. I will continue with additional songs in the future.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n *****<\/p>\n Previous web log song posts:<\/p>\n #301: The Song “Holocaust”<\/a><\/i> | #307: The Song “Time Bomb”<\/a><\/i> | #311: The Song “Passing Through the Portal”<\/a><\/i> | #314: The Song “Walkin’ In the Woods”<\/a><\/i> | #317: The Song “That’s When I’ll Believe”<\/a><\/i> | #320: The Song “Free”<\/a><\/i> | #322: The Song “Voices”<\/a><\/i> | #326: The Song “Mountain, Mountain”<\/a><\/i> | #328: The Song “Still Small Voice”<\/i><\/a> | #334: The Song “Convinced”<\/a><\/i> | #337: The Song “Selfish Love”<\/a><\/i> | #340: The Song “A Man Like Paul”<\/a><\/i> | #341: The Song “Joined Together”<\/a><\/i> | #346: The Song “If We Don’t Tell Them”<\/a><\/i> | #349: The Song “I Can’t Resist You’re Love”<\/a><\/i> | #353: The Song “I Use to Think”<\/a><\/i> | #356: The Song “God Said It Is Good”<\/a><\/i> | #362: The Song “My Life to You”<\/a><\/i> | #366: The Song “Sometimes”<\/a><\/i> | #372: The Song “Heavenly Kingdom”<\/a> | #378: The Song “A Song of Joy”<\/a><\/i> | #382: The Song “Not Going to Notice”<\/a><\/i> | #387: The Song “Our God Is Good”<\/a><\/i> | #393: The Song “Why”<\/a><\/i> | #399: The Song “Look Around You”<\/a><\/i> | #404: The Song “Love’s the Only Command”<\/a><\/i> | #408: The Song “Given You My Name”<\/a><\/i> | #412: The Song “When I Think”<\/a><\/i> | #414: The Song “You Should Have Thanked Me”<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n Next song: From Job<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is mark Joseph “young” blog entry #428, on the subject of The Song “To the Victor”. This is one of the very few praise songs I’ve written, and being a teacher I had to incorporate something extra so it’s structured as a trinitarian hymn. I’m not sure whether that matters.

\nI will rest securely.
\nWhat can man
\nDo to me?
\nYou set me free.
\nAnd I thank you for the love You give to me.<\/p>\n
\nThe fight is over now, the victory’s been won,
\nAnd all that’s left is for the praises to be sung
\nTo the Victor, to our God, the three in one.<\/p>\n
\nI will rest securely.
\nWhat can man
\nDo to me?
\nYou set me free.
\nAnd I thank you for the love You give to me.<\/p>\n
\nYou took away my death, and gave me eyes to see,
\nAnd now I know I will sing praise eternally
\nTo the Victor, oh, my Lord, I sing to Thee.<\/p>\n
\nI will rest securely.
\nWhat can man
\nDo to me?
\nYou set me free.
\nAnd I thank you for the love You give to me.<\/p>\n
\nYou took my sin away, and caused my life to flower,
\nAnd now you pour on me your blessings like a shower.
\nTo the Victor I’ll sing praises ev’ry hour.<\/p>\n
\nI will rest securely.
\nWhat can man
\nDo to me?
\nYou set me free.
\nAnd I thank you for the love You give to me.
