Here is an offering of firstfruits from a new batch of songs. This is an acoustic demo (a bit rough around the edges) and not the finished version, though I think it captures the essence of the song well. I plan to record this again in the studio with Donn Halliburton (producer of Beyond the Veil), as we are now working on my new album.
I wrote “Crown” on New Year’s Day. I wanted to sing words of blessing over the listener. As the songwriting progressed, a lyrical path emerged that went from pain to surrender to salvation to growth and came full circle to ministering to those in pain. I pray it blesses you.
Thanks to my wife Becky for lyrical help, and thanks to bandmates Andy Othling and Stephen Dumas for helping me record this. The lyrics are included below.
“Crown”
words and music by Chuck Elmore. Copyright 2010.
May the snares that you’ve stepped in fall open, may the wounds there not leave any scars
The affection that you’ve long been chasing, may you realize it’s already yoursMay you not offer sweat for redemption, may you instead accept divine blood
May the stones that are thrown turn to water and bury you under the floodYou may go down with covering in tatters, you may go down abused and forlorn
You will rise as a child of your father, you will rise up renewed and rebornMay the lies you have bought start to crumble, may regret and remorse disappear
Let the fear and the hopelessness tremble and your light cause the darkness to clearMay you run to the souls who once shunned you, to the captives in chains deep inside
May you show them the locks have been broken, may you open their prison doors wideYou will proclaim the news of His favor, you will carry a name of renown
May your hands raise up those who are downcast and your head bear the weight of a crownMay your head bear the weight of a crown, you’re the King’s child, put on your crown
Chuck Elmore – vocals and guitar
Stephen Dumas – guitar solo
Mixed and engineered by Andy Othling

Great song Chuck. I reminds me to quiet my soul and labor to receive what Jesus paid the price for me and all of us to walk in. His love and peace and forgiveness. Sometimes it seems hard to do.
Looking forward to getting to know you and your family.
Gods Best to you!
