My Amazingly Talented Sister

So some people take time to write blog posts about their amazing children. Which is totally fine with me, except I don't have kids to 'brag' about. So today I want to 'brag' about my sister.

So I sang in church yesterday. Everyone said it went pretty well and that it sounded great. Little do they know I'm just the tip of the McKnight family talent. All of my siblings have different musical talents and my sister Kt is no exception. She writes music. She is 13 an composes beautiful songs. She writes the lyrics, puts music to song and then writes the piano accompaniment. It is amazing. She stared writing music when she was barely 12. She wrote really fun pop like songs. Then she met a church songwriter than told her if she wrote 12 church songs she would look at them an show them to someone. So thats what she's been doing. She sang me these two earlier today and they are sooo beautiful. I may be bias becasue she is my sister. But I'll let you see the lyrics to the two songs she wrote. One is for my brother who is on a mission. I think the words are sooo up lifting. I just wish you could hear the melody to them. They truly are amazing. I wish I was half as talented as she is.

Maybe one day this will be her Album Cover?!?!?

This is my FAVORITE!!

Verse One:

When the world becomes so wicked and I’m forced to choose,

Which pathway I will follow, the evil always loose.

When I feel like I’m the only one left to make this choice,

Then I come to realize I could be the voice.

Chorus:

The voice to help those who’ve fallen astray,

Forgive them of their sins and the choices they have made.

I wanna show who I can be,

I want to make Him proud of me.

Verse Two:

When the terrors of mankind just don’t seem to cease,

Then I feel like it’s my duty to show the world some peace.

When I feel I’ve given it my all, but I just can’t stop the fire,

Then I go to Him in faith and prayer,

And pour out my heart’s desire.

I Can Be…

Chorus:

The voice to help those whose hearts are in need,

To fight off the evil by just one good deed.

I wanna show who I can be,

I want to make Him proud of me.

Bridge:

I will try with all my heart and sole to be the better me,

I will do my best to live my life with full integrity.

Chorus:

The voice to help others truly see,

The voice to return all thy children to thee.

I wanna show who I can be,

I want to make Him proud of me.

Brothers Keeper

Verse 1:

When I go too far, I’m in too deep,

His voice in my mind I do keep.

Always looking out for me,

Saying what I could be.

Pointing me in the righteous way,

Praying for me to get better every day.

All I want and all I need,

Is to make him proud of who I’m trying to be.

Chorus:

He’s my brother, he’s my friend,

Helps me to endure till the end.

And he’ll catch me if I fall,

Is here to guide me through it all.

And I love him more than he will ever see,

My brother is my Keeper for all eternity.

Verse 2:

When I choose the right I make him see,

There is some good left in me.

Always there to comfort me,

Tell a joke when I’m in need.

Begging me to do what’s good,

To return to Him like we all should.

All he wants and all he needs,

Is to stand there at the end next to me.

Chorus:

He’s my brother, he’s my friend,

Helps me to endure till the end.

And he’ll catch me if I fall,

Is here to guide me through it all.

And I love him more than he will ever see,

My brother is my Keeper for all eternity.

My brother is my Keeper my missionary;)
