Under the Sun

Written by Nancy Balyeat 2008
Building houses. Buying cars. Watching movies. Working hard...To buy more things that I can't keep...when I close my eyes in final sleep.

The Story

I wrote this song for a song writing competition in Calhan, CO at the GospelGrass Festival, in either 2007 or 2008. It was an ice breaker in faith for me because I hadn't written a song in 10 years at that time! They had you draw a scripture out of a hat and write a song in one We drew Ecclesiastes 1:14... I have seen all things done that are under the sun, they are meaningless, like chasing after the wind! Yikes! How depressing! I prayed and sought the Lord on how to write about this verse. This is the result of those prayers!
