Psalm 63:6-8
I was recording some of the songs I've written recently when I found a song I wrote and recorded in February.
And I believed I have improved much in my singing!
I was really quite shocked. I think I can articulate and project better today than before. So I re-recorded the song.
Gosh, if it really is so, I think vocal lessons are one of my better investments in my life so far (my guitaring skills appear to be about the same as when I first started off and I can't seem to get past using my favourite few chords). :) Really grateful my guitar coach at that time encouraged us to pick up the singing technique.
Also, looking back. I realised had not God allowed me to go through such turbulent times in my life, I really have no such song to sing.

PSALM 63:6-8 (NLT)
Verse
G Em
I lie awake thinking of You
C D
Meditating on You all through the night
I think how much you have helped me
I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings
Chorus
G Em
And I follow close beside You
C D
Your strong hand holds me secure
And I follow close behind You
Your right hand leads the way
Bridge
Em C
Even though a valley I face
G D
Even there Your lamp lights the way

I wrote this song at the peak of my Final Semester in NUS. It was really stressful. I remember just waking up in the morning in my hostel room with great fear and dread in my heart of what is to come. But the verse Psalm 23:4 (the bridge) comforted me.
Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
There are times when I see myself walking in total darkness with great fear in my heart, walking in the valley, but then I adjust my eyes and see the comforting glow of a warm light, and I know God is holding the lamp and is right beside me as in Psalm 119:105.
This is the basis of the song. :)
