Cool Water (I am a little thing too)

A little thing I discovered on my recorder having forgotten about it. Recorded in the moment of inspiration.

Cool water, flowing water
circling round the earth
Billions of little things live in you
and I am a little thing too

Words and music by James Hilden-Minton

Cool Water (I am a little thing too) by James Hilden-Minton

Holy Thirst

O holy thirst, o holy thirst
Quench not the hunger of my soul.

Foxes have holes and birds have nests,
But the son of man has no place to lay his head

O holy thirst, o holy thirst
Quench not the hunger of my soul

Out of your innermost being will flow
rivers of living water

O holy thirst, o holy thirst
Quench not the hunger of my soul


Holy Thirst by James Hilden-Minton

SoundCloud

I have begun posting new music to SoundCloud. Check out my page at http://soundcloud.com/james-hilden-minton. My aim is to post short recordings as I develop new songs. Feedback is always much appreciate. Just knowing someone took the time to listen means a lot to me.

Not a song, but a lamentation for this season

My soul is too much Babylon
Weep o prophets of Israel
My soul is too much Babylon
Beneath the eye of Yahweh I drown
My soul is too much Babylon
I would walk, I would run, but
My soul is too much Babylon
So come o Righteous One
Judge me, crush me
Set my soul in Zion

for UriYah Israel, who always reminds me that Babylon has been judged and will come to an end
