#gospel #blues #mandolin

I've spent WAY too much time on this one. I re-structured, re-arranged, and started over 5 five times before I got something that I thought I could work with.

I really wanted the mandolin to be -different- somehow. I think I'm going to revisit this one later, but for now, here is my demo!

Now I feel free to work on the next song. :-)

It’s a dark and lonely place where we live It’s a cruel and tasteless world There is trouble lurking wherever you go But there’s one thing you gotta know

You are a light, you are a light You are a light on a hill You are a light, you are a light You are a light on a hill Jesus said you are a light Set up high and shine it bright You are a light on a hill

You are the salt, you are the salt You are the salt of the earth You are the salt, you are the salt You are the salt of the earth You’re the salt of the earth If you lose your flavor what is it worth? You are the salt of the earth

So, shine your light, so shine your light So, shine your light, shine your light So, spread your salt, so spread your salt So, spread your salt, spread your salt Jesus said you’re salt and light Spread it make the darkness bright You are the salt, you are light

The world is a lonely place, a dark and lonely lonely place, but you are the light of the world

The earth is a tasteless place, A troubled tough and tasteless place But you are the salt of the earth
