Rounding out Proclaim Lismore Wildfire‘s 2025 album, “It’s Good to be Alive” is another collaboration with Rachael Kama.
This is blues testimony and a lot of fun.
It was written by Evronia Allan, Eliza Blunn, Rachael Kama, Alex Pereira,
Daniel Pereira, Laurie Pratt and Josiah Varney.
The chords and resources are at their site.
They do say sheet music will be available, but it appears not to have been done, so we will have to be content with the chords and their enthusiasm.
VERSE 1
I was down and out, thought that all hope was lost
I was searching in the wrong places, but then I felt real love
I knelt before the Lord
said ‘show me what to do’ andTAG
I saw the lightVERSE 2
Sometimes I find it hard to get some sleep
When the noises in my head hit way too deep
They try to steal, Your peace from me
But peace will only come when I surrender all to You
Cause’ my heart is always set upon Your faithfulnessTAG
VERSE 3
Walking round’ one morning, heavy with my sin.
Lost in the darkness, yeah, I don’t know where I’d been.
My knees hit the ground, I spoke to Jesus Christ,
I said, “what do you want from me, in this uncertain life?”
He said, “Son I want your trust, open your eyes”.TAG
VERSE 4
Overwhelmed and confused, didn’t know what to do
Afraid I’m not worthy of His love but He healed my heart
Showed me His way
His grace day to dayTAG
VERSE 5
Trying to be a faithful disciple
Praying night and day, and heading to Mass on Sunday
It was like I saw God for the first time
Want more of this to last a lifetime
But then I trusted in His promises, and I gave my life to HimTAG
