God's Love Is Like A Unicorn

Mark and Jennie B. have suggested that we make a cd with the title track God's Love Is Like A Unicorn. The cd will be warm and fuzzy and include beautiful things like rainbows, golden retrievers and bunnies. So let's get going and write this thing together. We'll start with the chorus:

Metrical pattern - 8, 8, 4+4, 8
de dum de dum de dum de dum
de dum de dum de dum de dum
de dum de dum
de dum de dum
de dum de dum de dum de dum

Line 1 : God's love is like a unicorn....

  3. ROFL Nathan!

    Unicorns may be lethal, but at least it's not a negative song. Unicorns are great for self-esteem....right up to the point where you get hit with the point.

  4. Oh help...

    It's cuddly like a babe newborn?

  5. It's warm, it's sweet
    It's cute, it's neat
    It's woolly like a sheep just shorn

  6. Actually, the last line would make more sense reading "a sheep *not* shorn"...

  7. Okay. Thanks A. I'm good with your first few lines. Think we need to come back to the unicorn at the end of the chorus:

    God's love is like a unicorn
    It's cuddly like a [sheep unshorn / pup newborn]
    it's warm, it's sweet,
    it's cute, it's neat,
    God's love is like a unicorn!

  8. I'm afraid that this is starting to become a bit of an addiction...last one, I promise.

    God's love is like the stars so bright
    That twinkle all throughout the night
    There is no need
    His Word to read
    God's love, in fact, is rather trite

    Of course, to keep up the form, I should go back to the stars being bright. And I admit that the last line could be interpreted negatively, which is to be avoided.

  9. I'm no song writer, but I was wondering if one the verses could be about "no sex before marriage" as well. Only virgins can see/ride on a unicorn.

    It makes them very pro-family creatures. And that's a very upbeat message to send as well :)

  10. This will probably just prove my statement that I don't write songs. But:

    There is not much point to ponies
    And the horsie has no horn, but
    A Unicorn
    A Unicorn
    Holds donuts better than a mut
