As a musician, there are some songs you come across or learn that just give you the 'feels', the energy and all the joy that music can give. And I'm sure it's the same for music listeners too.
They just always hit the right spot all the time, every time you play or listen to them.
Many years back I came across this Worship Song, titled Holiness performed by Micah Stampley, but originally sung by Scott Underwood.
At that time, I was pretty much just getting to know the sax.
I watched the song played by a saxophonist on a soprano saxophone and it just 'hit the right spots' in my head and greatly inspired me to push on with learning the sax. He played it so well on those high pitched registers!
I embraced the song and the saxophone even more because of moments like this one.
Here I make an attempt (ONLY ONE TAKE), to cover the song as soulfuy as I remebered that saxophonist play it.
BLOOPERS: I didn’t realize there were transpositions. I just picked the track and hit record🙈😂
I was on the edge of getting lost between notes, but I managed to keep the composure through the song🤭
Lyrics (Musixmatch)
Holiness, holiness
Is what I long for
Holiness is what I need
Holiness, holiness
Is what You want from me
Faithfulness, faithfulness
Is what I long for
Faithfulness is what I need
Faithfulness, faithfulness
Is what You want from me
So take my heart and form it
Take my mind transform it
Take my will conform it
To Yours, to Yours, oh Lord
Righteousness, righteousness
Is what I long for
Righteousness is what I need
Righteousness, righteousness
Is what You want from me
Oh yes, Lord
So, take my heart, God
So take my heart and form it
Take my mind transform it
Take my will conform it
To Yours, to Yours, oh Lord
Oh
So take my heart and form it
Take my mind and transform it
Take my will (take my will) and conform it
To Yours, to Yours, oh Lord
To Yours, to Yours, Oh Lord
Yes
Take my heart and form it
Take my mind and transform it
Take my will (Lord, take my will) and conform it
To Yours, to Yours, oh Lord
To Yours, to Yours, oh Lord
To Yours, to Yours, oh Lord
Yes, God
Yes, Oh Lord
God, we want to be Yours
Lord, take my heart
Form it into what You want it to be
Take my mind, Lord, and wash it clean
With the water of Your words
Come and take our wills
So many times we want to do the things that we want to do
Let it not be so
Enjoy my sax cover!😅
Thanks for listening!
