Budding songwriter

I'd like to thank Eli for his lovely rendition (seriously, he doesn't hang out with drug addicts) of this old favorite:


It's raining, it's pouring;

The old man is snoring.

He went to bed and

Bumped his head

And couldn't shoot up in the morning.


He is living just outside of Music City. Maybe he has a future as a songwriter! He has to write what would sell - not just about his real life, right?!


Let me give you another prime example of his promise as a writer. 1 Peter 5:8 exhorts us to "be self-controlled and alert." Check out how Eli belts it out (click here for info on where Eli heard this song in its original form):


Be self-controlled.

Be self-controlled.

Be self-controlled and allergic!

This is too cute! Maybe he and Josh could co-write? Those kiddos must keep you laughing all day long!

Tell Eli that if he keeps up the good work I may use some of his material on the next CD! - Dana Dirksen, Songs for Saplings
