Songs by Rachel
Come By Hasting
This song actually started out with just a chord progression that I goofed around with for a long time and had no song or tune to. One day I just said to myself, “That’s it. I am going to open up the Bible and make a song once and for all!” So the words took about ten minutes and the tune took about two days to complete.
It is funny because I have a dear friend that is beginning to write music herself and she was struggling with finding a tune. I was just about to call her and tell her that I have a really cool chord progression for her that is a kick in the pants to play. Then I did this. Sorry. It was a nice idea at least!
This is nearly straight from a Psalm with a lot of artistic liberties.
Come By Hasting
I call Your Name
How long to hear me
You’ve tried my heart
And found it lacking
Heal me O Lord
Anguish to my bones
Rescue my soul
And leave me not alone
And O surround me
Alone I am wasting
O engulf me
Come by hasting
Arise O Lord
Spare my soul from death
All my iniquity
Let not one jot be left
And O surround me
Alone I am wasting
O engulf me
Come by hasting
Return O Lord
Receive my prayer on high
To You alone
To You alone I cry
O surround me
Alone I am wasting
O engulf me
Come by hasting

Heal me O Lord,
Anguish to my bones
Rescue my soul
And leave me not alone...
