Meece often incorporates classical piano works into his songs. "This Time" (from LEARNING TO TRUST) borrows its opening section, bridge and ending tag from Chopin's "Revolutionary Etude" (Op. 10, No. 12) in C minor. Similarly, the introductory melody for "You Can Go" (from the album 7) is taken from Bach's Two-Part Invention No. 13 in A Minor (BWV 784) and "Falling Down" (from COUNT THE COST) has its basis in a sonata by Mozart.
His song "We Are the Reason" has been recorded by over 200 other artists and CHRONOLOGY's "Seventy-Times-Seven" peaked at No. 77 in Australia's Top 100 chart. David worked with Canadian Juno Award winner Gino Vannelli for his albums CHRONOLOGY and CANDLE IN THE RAIN.
David and his wife currently live in Franklin, Tennessee.
Brokenness
David Meece Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my hour of darkness
I will lift my hands
And worship You
In my brokenness
In my time of sadness
I will lift my voice
And praise to You
Time stands still
As I kneel down before You
Life draws near
Like waves upon the shore
You touch me
In my brokenness
In these whispering shadows
I will lift the pieces
Of my heart to You
Time stands still
As I kneel down before You
Life is here
Your waves of power
And glory touch me
In my brokenness
In my hour of darkness
I will lift my hands
And worship You
I will lift my hands
And worship You
