Cradled by the Divine - Song based on the WT article “I Will Never Abandon You”!


Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if this should go here (so sorry if I got it wrong).

 

I have been messing with AI and have created a song based on a recent WT article “I Will Never Abandon You”! Everything has been created with AI, including the lyrics, music, and vocals. I am fascinated by what can be achieved with this tech. We are still in the early days so AI is only going to get better. That leads us to a warning we need to keep in mind. How is Satan going to use this technology to attack True Worship?

 

As we get closer to the end of this system we need to make sure of all things, and to strengthen our faith in Jehovah and his ability to protect pure worship. That's why I chose “I Will Never Abandon You”! as the basis of this experiment.

 

AI is just a tool that can be used for good or bad. 

 

I hope this song is encouraging. If I have don't it right, it will be attached to this post. And a final reminder: This is 100% AI and is not an official song.

 

Lyrics

 

[Verse 1]

In times of old, through shadows cast, The faithful walked, the die was cast. Leaders came and then they’d fade, Yet now we stand where grace is laid.

 

[Chorus]

For we are cradled by the divine, In arms of everlasting love, As chosen ones ascend on high, We’re gently held from far above.

 

[Verse 2]

Now in these days of grand restore, With holy vision set before. Christ’s light our guide, so clear, so bright, Jehovah guards us through the night.

 

[Chorus]

For we are cradled by the divine, In arms of everlasting love, As chosen ones ascend on high, We’re gently held from far above.

 

[Bridge]

Through storms we stand, our faith won't sway, His prophecies light up our way. In worship pure, we rise, we thrive, By His decree, we’re kept alive.

 

[Chorus]

For we are cradled by the divine, In arms of everlasting love, As chosen ones ascend on high, We’re gently held from far above.

 

[Outro]

Unshaken hearts, under His eyes, Held safe where His sanctuary lies. Through darkest nights, His light our guide, In His embrace, we will abide.

I'm glad you like it. Here is another song based on the same WT article. It seems to go off lyrics for the bridge.

 

Reminder: Other than tweaking and prompting by me, this is 100% AI (Artificial Intelligence). It NOT an original song from the Society.

 

In Times of Trials

 

[Verse 1]

In times of trials, when fears may rise, We stand unshaken beneath the skies. For Jehovah's promise rings so true, "In every moment, I'm here with you."

 

[Chorus]

Never abandoned, we're held so dear, In every whisper, in every tear. As pure worship stands firm and sure, In Jehovah’s love, we are secure (we are).

 

[Verse 2]

When guidance shifts to the heavens above, Anointed lead with a shield of love. With Jesus' reign, so strong and clear, In this path of faith, we have no fear.

 

[Chorus] Never abandoned, we're held so dear, In every whisper, in every tear. As pure worship stands firm and sure, In Jehovah’s love, we are secure (we are).

 

[Bridge] Reflect, rejoice in the truth we know, His love unending, forever it flows. Educate, lead, in love we'll grow, With hearts set on Him, His guidance we'll show.

 

[Outro] So let’s stand firm in this divine plan, Trusting fully in His loving hand. Uplifted, united, in faith we stand, Forever embraced in Jehovah’s grand land.

If anyone is interested in knowing my workflow for this: I fed my own notes to ChatGPT and asked it to create the lyrics for the first song "Cradled by the Divine." For the second song, "In Times of Trials", I use the whole study article--not my notes.

 

I use Suno.au to create the music and vocals. It took about 6 or 7 passes, with additional structuring and prompting, for each song to get the final version.

Beautiful ! Don't tell us, Brother Niall, the AI sings so well... does it ?

This brings to mind the original songs for children. They sound just like those given samples. It makes me wonder. 

 

For "Cradled by the Divine" I used "acoustic kids music" as the Style. That seems to give results that are more upbeat and catchy. In the next post I'll upload a song that was created using "Australian Country, cappella, Happy Kids" and you will see what I mean. With "In Times of Trial" I started with "cappella" and then moved to "smooth ballad" for the second verse.

 

I have to render the song in batches (verse 1 and chorus, then verse 2, etc.) I usually render multiple versions on the first go, as each output can be vastly different. I then select the one that sounds best, and render the next verse based on that.

This is a song that I partially wrote and then had ChatGPT improve. It was rendered with the Style "Australian Country, cappella, Happy Kids." If you read in my post above, including the keyword "kids" in the style seems to produce upbeat tunes - I like upbeat!! With this song I wanted a catchy chorus. Rendering in batches lets me tweak the music and lyrics and push the song in a direction I like.

 

This started as an experiment but I actually enjoy generating this music. I always wanted to be able to write lyrics for songs so this is going to let me practice. I am seriously thinking of creating a YouTube channel to publish these songs. It could be another source of wholesome music for Witnesses. That way I don't have to flood this forum with my hobby. :) 

 

Forever in Integrity - Lyrics

 

[Verse 1] Lord, judge my heart, see the faith that's true; Test my soul, refine my thoughts, let blessings flow through. With every beat, with every breath I take, Keep me pure and steadfast, Lord, for righteousness' sake.

 

[Chorus] Here I stand, firm I will be, Forever walking, Lord, in integrity. Steady on my path, your grace is my key, Forever faithful, in your integrity.

 

[Verse 2] I shun the dark, the deceitful fray, Reject the scornful ones who from truth stray. Oh Lord, guard my life, keep me from their strife, From shadows of corruption, preserve my life.

 

[Chorus] Here I stand, firm I will be, Forever walking, Lord, in integrity. Steady on my path, your grace is my key, Forever faithful, in your integrity.

 

[Verse 3] In your sacred halls, my joy and place, I cherish every moment in your embrace. Around your altar, praises I'll declare, Thanksgiving loud, your love beyond compare.

[Chorus] Here I stand, firm I will be, Forever walking, Lord, in integrity. Steady on my path, your grace is my key, Forever faithful, in your integrity.

10 hours ago, Friends just call me Ross said:

I noticed that the last line of the chorus says "in YOUR integrity."  

 

Kind a threw me. 

 

Cuz I was expecting to hear "in MY integrity."  

💜

That’s a good pickup. Because I’ve been spending time looking into the idea that Jehovah will never abandon us or allow the Truth to be taken over, even after the Anointed, are taken to Heaven, I was thinking in terms of Jehovah’s integrity. Meditating on that gives us confidence to stand firm ourselves. 
 

I might have to look into that a bit more. Thanks for pointing it out.
