Discussions on the music "Cool"

This song is one of my closet favorites because of how technical the music is.  Writing things like this spoke to all the training I've had over the years.  I felt like this piece of music would make my mentors (Alphonza Kee, Matthew Nichol) proud of me on some levels.  Mind you, I didn't write this trying to impress anyone.  I was waking up from a dream and God showed me a vision of my hands playing the main piano rif.  I got up and tried to mimic what I was hearing and seeing in my spirit. It was only after analyzing it that I thought they'd be proud to see where I'm grown to.  And yes, I know... it isn't my growth, its just what God gave me at the time.  But that's how it is with ALL of the music I have.  The blessing on this is that Alphonza Kee actually played the bassline (Hallelujah!!!) on the song.  God has put so many powerful musicians in my path.  Anyway, the song came out so smooth and laid back.  Those times when you shut out the world and just relax in the presence of God.  You're not asking for anything from him, you're just nuzzling in his bosom... warm. safe.


What if we put on mercy kindness humbleness of mind
Forgiving.  Forbearing one another 'til the end of time
And don't let the unclean thing reign in your heart but sing praises unto God.
Hymns and psalms and spiritual songs, singing with Grace in your heart
And let the peace of God rule in your heart and most of all put on his love
Set your sights on all that is right and keep your eyes on the prize above
What if we was cool like that with God's love in our hearts
Reigning in young and old until the day that we depart

(What if we was cool)
What if we was cool?  Lovin' like we 'sposed to
Thinkin' 'bout you more than I do me that Jesus kinda love

(What if we was cool)
What if we was cool?  Lovin' like we 'sposed to
Prayin' 'bout you more than I do me that Jesus kinda love

What if we let his Glory shine in our everyday
Feelin' our hearts with worship songs and thoughts of peace and praise
What if we was cool like that with God's love in heart
Reigning in young and old until the day that we depart

Before I knew you Lord you gave your life for me
By your stripes I'm healed your blood washed my sins clean
Now I love you Lord with everything I am
It would be so cool if we all loved each other the same

(What if we was cool)
What if we was cool?  Lovin' like we 'sposed to
Thinkin' 'bout you more than I do me that Jesus kinda love
(What if we was cool)
What if we was cool?  Lovin' like we 'sposed to
Prayin' 'bout you more than I do me that Jesus kinda love

(What if we was cool)
What if we was cool?  Lovin' like we 'sposed to
Thinkin' 'bout you more than I do me that Jesus kinda love
(What if we was cool)
What if we was cool?  Lovin' like we 'sposed to
Prayin' 'bout you more than I do me that Jesus kinda love

I write because God loves me so much that he gives me music from his heart.  All I gotta do is write it down.  I'm writing this with tears in my eyes now because that thought overwhelms me.  I'm some bent kid from nowhere.  And God bless me with the most powerful gifts.  Overwhelmed.
