Or maybe not

It's a good job I'm starting to get a bit more disciplined, and cautious, before sending the music out.  Laid all 5 choruses/hymns side by side in Musescore last night, ready to convert to .png files and found

• No one key was the same
• It was a bit heavy on one sentiment
• The "feel" of them together was all wrong (probably as a result of above)

Oh help.  Into the bedroom with guitar and music books, the Spirit in me desperately praying for an answer.  It came quickly, praise God, with a praise chorus in D, a hymn in Bb, and 3 worship choruses in D.  It's better to try and keep at least the last two choruses in the same key, because nothing sounds weirder, or is more uncomfortable, than a change of key close to the end.

What is interesting is that from the original selection, only 2 got dropped.  Looking back (they were picked just over a week ago) it was possibly a selfish impulse or a "that will do" attitude, not the Spirit that chose them.  The new ones (in the same key) coupled with another key change, and it's all sorted.  Felt close to crying, was it relief, or was He jumping for joy?  It can be either - wonderful feeling either way.
