GOD SHAPED HOLE

(Listen to the song; #3 on CHRISTIAN FOLKS)
Ever felt like there was something missing inside you? Ever thought that next relationship would make you whole only to be let down once again? I've got good news for you if you have... that emptiness inside has a specific shape and size that can only be filled by what was intended to fill it. You might say it is a God Shaped Hole! That's right, and He is a perfect fit to make every person a completed work of art. Our creator has designed us to be His companions, awesome creations where His Spirit can reside and have direct fellowship with Him!!! How awesome is that?

I was about twenty four when I wrote GOD SHAPED HOLE, and that was exactly how I felt. My life lacked direction and purpose, and trying to find that in a potential mate was the classic young man's mistake; it was my mistake.  When I finally surrendered my life to God and allowed Him to fill my emptiness, everything changed. I went from trying desperately to find the right ONE to earnestly working towards becoming the right ONE.

That was almost thirty years ago! And in that time God has never let me down! He has never abandoned me. I have had some incredibly difficult trials that's for sure, but He sees me through it every time. And every time I go through one of life's great valleys I emerge stronger and closer to my God! I hope and pray that every person discovers the God Shaped Hole in their own lives. It will make an eternity of difference in their lives!

Please give the song GOD SHAPED HOLE a listen and I hope it will inspire you. God Bless and fill you!

GOD SHAPED HOLE
Words & music by Reggie Michaud © 1984

Mid way into the morning, I’m sitting alone watching clouds go by
Left work, couldn’t continue; the things that she said were making me cry
Let down great expectations, I’m wondering why nothing’s permanent
Somehow I see through the teardrops, the things I’ve been leaning on leave me dry


There’s something about this emotional morning
There’s something inside me that’s out of place
I feel like a frame without a picture
An empty glove or a clock hung upon the wall without a face

Cuz there’s a God-shaped hole in my heart and it’s waiting to be filled once again
I’m beginning to understand…
There’s a God-shaped hole in my heart and it’s got me on my knees praying; “Lord
Will you teach me who I am!”

Halfway into the evening I’m sitting alone reading Genesis

Stayed home to meet my creator and learn of the things so dear to His heart
Let down with His creation, the Lord sent His Son to teach another way 
Now I can see through His wisdom there’s one way to live long after you die


There’s something about this powerful evening

There’s something inside me that’s finally in place

The searching is over; I’ll never be lonely
I’m off and I’m running along on the narrow road to win the race

Cuz there’s a God-shaped hole in my heart and it’s waiting to be filled once again
I’m beginning to understand…
There’s a God-shaped hole in my heart and it’s got me on my knees praying; “Lord
You’re the only one who can!”
There’s a God-shaped hole in my heart and it’s longing to be filled by the Holy Spirit

You fill me over and over again…

There’s a God-shaped hole in my heart and I’m falling on my knees crying; “Lord
You’re the only one who can!”

COMING YOUR WAY

(Listen to the song; #10 on MELTING POT)
Hey y'all! Well I'm almost ready to post my one and only Reggae song; COMING YOUR WAY. The beat is not exactly traditional reggae, but it's a pretty close derivative. And just in case there's any confusion, my phoney Jamacan accent should seal the deal pretty solid! This one was a lot of fun to record and went quickly for the most part. Then the heat wave came and my studio was sweltering nearly every day; not exactly the best environment to produce some rocking lead riffs. The guy on the steel drums is really hot; I'm definitely gonna have to get him over to lay more tracks on future projects!

I should only be one track away from completion, so within the next few days I'll try to steal some time and wrap this one up. UPDATE: I finished the recording and it has been loaded into the Melting Pot album page. 

The song was written in 1986, and describes the turmoil of a life without Christ and extends an invitation to the listener to join in the celebration of new life.  Peace and love to you all mun!!!

COMING YOUR WAY
 © 1986 Words &  Music by Reginald M. Michaud  
  
Flying high much too close to the  sun
Sinking low guess the battle has  just begun
Pushing on much too close to the  edge
Falling down; is it time to be  making a pledge
 
There’s a righteous celebration  coming your way
There’s a holy congregation coming  your way
There’s a spiritual revolution  coming your way
There’s a personal invitation  coming your way

Come with me welcome all who will  hear
Within reach the Kingdom of Heaven  is near
We will feast plenty from heaven  above
All around people so filled with  His love

There’s a righteous celebration  coming your way
There’s a holy congregation coming  your way
There’s a spiritual revolution  coming your way
There’s a personal invitation  coming your way
 
There’s a righteous celebration  coming your way
There’s a holy congregation coming  your way
There’s a spiritual revolution  coming your way
There’s a personal invitation mun; coming your way
