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.
Making My Life Brand New
David Meece Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When everything went wrong
And nobody seemed to care
There were times when I was so afraid
I wanted just to run away
Until You, You came along
And I thank You, Lord
For making it all so right
Making it all so beautiful
I owe it all to You, Lord
For making my life brand new
For making it so right
Making the old brand new
I was so lost, lost inside myself
I couldn't see anything else
Except my foolish pride
But You came and tore those walls on down
Set my feet on higher ground
Now I know, I know who I am
And I thank You
For making my life brand new
For making it all so right
Making it all so beautiful
I owe it all to You
For making my life brand new
For making it all so right
Making the old brand new
'Cause You gave my life new meaning
Gave my life the peace
Within my troubled mind
To help me carry on again
It may be hard believing
For someone who can't see it
But I know it's true
(Deep inside)
Deep inside I know that it's true
And I thank You, Lord
For making my life brand new
For making it all so right
Making it all so beautiful
I owe it all to You, Lord
For making my life brand new
For making it so right
Making the old brand new
And I'm giving it all to You
And I thank You, Lord
For making my life brand new
For making it all so right
Making it all so beautiful
I owe it all to You, Lord
For making my life brand new
For making it so right
Making the old brand new
