Discography
Field of Song (2011)
I'm working on my first acoustic album, with songs wich have been growing on my field for many years. It's about time to harvest them!
Still a chance - All I need is You (2008)
All I need is You

Music & lyric by: Erik van der Eijk & Jonathan van der Lugt, performed by Jonathan van der Lugt & Karlijn Pippel.
-----------------------------------------------
Lyric:

I don't see why You are merciful
And forgive me for my sins
I don't know why You're so good to me
And accept me just the way I am
Could it be that You're confused
I can't be worth Your while
Do You mistake me with someone else

Is it true that You're fully aware
Of all that's unsolved in my life
You don't burden me with more than I can bear
And You reach out to me in my darkest night

How can it be that You look out for me
Don't think I'll ever understand
That You care to know who I am
I've never had such a friend

But You lift me up and You draw me close
No matter what I've done You still love me so
Down on my knees I sing this song for You
Father All I need is You

About Erik van der Eijk
I was born in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 29 years ago and I have lived in my current home-town Almere for most of my life. I started playing the piano by the age of 11. I have only had a few piano and some music reading lessons, but managed to play almost anything I liked, by ear.

A few years later I joined a Salvation Army band on trombone, where I have improved my music reading skills. Occasionally I tried out some other musical instruments, just for fun, but my main love always remained the piano. This changed about two years ago, when I was thought how to pray. All though I had been going to Church for most of my life, a real 'Prayer connection' had never been there.

My main love now is Jesus and I love to pray. In March 2008 I have started the Prayer Team Ministry, right here at Shoutlife. Later that year my first song was co-written, produced, performed and recorded by Jonathan, a Belgian Christian singer/songwriter living in The Netherlands.

Big things changed in my life since I accepted Jesus as my Savior. I got inspiration to write "touching lyrics and beautiful music" since, as people who hear my music, say. I have also been blessed with ideas how to improve the Prayer Team Ministry and reach lots of people through Christian music.


Right now I'm composing music for my first instrumental studio album and later this year some recently written songs will be released. I work with a large insurance company at the moment, but I have plans to set up my own business.


I will answer all guestbook comments and Shout-mail during the weekends. Would you like to join the Prayer Team group, to share your Prayer requests and Pray for others?
