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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Writin′ songs is 'bout all I can do well
I can′t build houses but I know I can tell
All the things that I've felt
All the love that I've held
Since I met You
All the joy I′ve felt since You came my way
You turned my night into day
All my rain into sunny rays
I love You, love You, love You Lord
You've cleansed every wrong
A symphony You gave to me
With You I belong
I love You, love You, love You Lord
With You I′ll be strong
'Cause Your love has given this song
If tomorrow seemed to tarnish and fade
And all the friends I have just turned me away
Skies still wouldn′t be gray
Just as long as I stayed
Right here with You
How I wish that all the people could see
You're the best thing they could ever receive
They need only believe
And You′ll set them all free to sing
I love You, love You, love You Lord
You've cleansed every wrong
A symphony You gave to me
With You I belong
I love You, love You, love You Lord
With You I'll be strong
′Cause Your love has given this song
