It's songwriting season at the moment.
I'm trying to write things fairly quickly - sit down and work an idea from scratch in 2-3 hours. As a result, nothing I'm coming up with feels particularly special... but I'm trying not to care. Anything that goes anywhere goes through ten rewrites anyway. I can try and insert some magic later.
Thematically, my focus is on life in the church. What is it to be a member of Jesus' church? It's pretty broad, but I'm thinking about songs on serving one anther, hearing God's word, prayer, evangelism, love, obedience...
I love getting feedback. I listen carefully to your comments and they do change the end product.
I love the sound of these topics. It's hard to find songs on godly living/serving one another - and particularly ones that aren't corny. I imagine they're really hard to write! A friend and I were looking for that kind of song to sing after the sermon last week, and (much as it's a good one) she couldn't come at the thought of singing May the Mind of Christ yet again :). I'd love to see what you come up with! Cathy
ReplyDeleteWe'll still weigh in Simone. I just didn't have anything intelligent to say about the previous couple...
ReplyDeleteI've got a suggestion for you - but will email 'cos it's lengthy.
Sounds great!
ReplyDeleteMy Feb song (aiming to write a new one each month this year) is kind of based around 2 Corinthians 4 - God's power seen in our weakness.. so you can't use that idea / passage :P
