A Day in the "Christian" Life- Lyrical Rethink -Beatles

Back in 2013, I recall one day I was thinking of lyrics to "A Day in the Life" by the Beatles and began writing out my own Christian lyrical version.

I recorded it in one take, and posted on YouTube. Looking back, I think it was actually quite good in terms of keeping the original feel of the song phrasings and things, but with the new lyrics. 

The video is below, and not my best singing effort, so I'll have to re do it at some point, but I like the lyrical adjustments. 

What song do you think would make a good "Christian remix" so to speak, lyrically?

Other favorites of mine have included "Amazing Grace: Peaceful Easy Feeling" using the Eagles tune; as well as, a version of "Come Together" by the Beatles we used to sing with Christian lyrics at a church. 




A Day in the "Christian" Life- Lyrical changes by Chris Byers. Original tune by Lennon/McCartney

I prayed a prayer today oh Lord 1000 words I prayed that you would hear And though my words seemed rather small I knew you'd hear them all, you always hear them all I fell so far, I felt so low 
For my own sin I never could atone 
But then your grace it made me whole I'd felt that grace before, now down on my knees I prayed that you would still forgive me Lord I saw a film today oh, Lord Your own Son's passion won a spiritual war A crowd of people turned away but i just had to look, having read the book. I love to leaaaarn yooour ways
Woke up, fell out of bed Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup, and looking up I noticed I was late Grabbed my Bible, grabbed my hat Got to church in seconds flat Found my way inside and had a seat And the preacher spoke and I got up to my feet
Aaaaaaamen I prayed a prayer today oh boy that all the world would soon know your name
And though my prayer seemed rather tall I knew you'd hear it all, Now down on my knees I prayed you'd pour your spirit on them, Lord
I love to leaaarn yooour ways


Be Blessed Friends!
