4 Outta 7

Well, I jumped into the 7 songs in 7 days challenge with good intentions. As a fellow songwriter said, life got in the way. So, I got 4 songs written.

Out came this song about walking on water and trusting the Faith Maker.  Faith Maker...

The rules are simple. Start and finish a new song for each of the 7 days. No revamping old unfinished songs. Start with a blank page.
