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.

David Meece Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you know what it′s like
To have someone who loves you –
Who cares for you
And when you're full of doubt
To have someone hold your hand
And say "Don′t let it bother you –
Well I do –
Do you know what it's like to have someone who trusts you
Who believes in you
And when you′re down and out
To have someone cry for you
And when your song is a broken tune
Come make the melody brand new –
Well I do –
Somewhere – you′ve got to believe that
There's someone else besides yourself
Somewhere – you′ve got to perceive that
All you know is not all there is
Then you'd know what it′s like
To have someone who loves you
Who cares for you
And you'd know what it′s like
To have someone die for you
For someone did that for me
And what's more – when He died for me
He did the same –
For you

And what's more – when He died for me
Furthermore, when this person died for me
He did the same –
They did this for everyone else as well
For you
For you specifically

My sister bought this album when she was 20 and I was 11. I loved the lyrics then. I still love them. My favorite line is "Do you know what it's like to know that all you know is not all there is." Whenever I am so sure I am right, God uses those lyrics to remind me not to be too sure of myself.

When I became a Christian in 1978 I sold all my record collection (325 records) from the ‘60’s & early’70’s) and just listened to a local Christian radio station and heard this. All the people I had known left me when I became a Christian so it was kinda lonely as far as relationships were concerned but our Lord brought others into my life. Along with this album I also purchased “The Lords Supper” by John Michael Talbot. I’d play them over and over. One day I’ll get to thank them for their ministry in my life.

I would love to find the MP3 file for this song. I don't suppose there is a Site that sells it, due to the age.
