Songwriting "My story"

 Guy's, the joys of posting on here is off the charts *I just can't help myself*! So I'll be enlightening you with my songs! Yah lets not even...... I'm getting random....

Over my short lifetime I've written songs. Songs ranging from love songs I know nothing about, to my love for Jesus and the way he cares for me. Instead of embarrassing myself and sharing some old dumb songs, I'll share my latest ones. I'll also explain how I write songs, my tips and tricks and structure and yah... all that..

Before I do though, let me share my songwriting journey. As a kid I would make up my own songs by singing them randomly,  and just babbling. When I turned 10, I started writing songs that had no structure *but they did rhyme* and that became a very special part of my life. Before I go on, here is my very first real song:

Name: God or satan

Do do do do do do do 2x

God or satan 

who should I choose

If I choose God 

theres nothing to lose

If I want salvation

you better think of a better one

Do do do do do do do 2x

God or satan 

who should I choose

If I choose satan I'm sure gonna lose

If I want salvation

I'd better think and choose

(I made this song at nine yrs while on the way to a church event at the lake *a fun summer church thing*)

Anyways I made a lot of songs the past few years, but more recently, I've been focusing my talent on God, which has been so inspiring! Here are a few of them:

Take me who I am: 

Verse 

With my feet on the ground 

I won't tear myself down on more

With my head out the clouds 

I can finally make a sound 

Evermore

Pre chorus

With him in my heart

I can make a new start today

With a song on my tongue and a prayer in my lungs

I will start to pray

Chorus

God take me who I am

I can't stand no more

You share in my suffering

And I am willing to let go

You sent your lamb down 

to take all my pain away

And in the midst of it all you actually saved me

Verse

With the fear of the dark 

And ambitions in my heart 

I feel weighted down 

With a want and a need

I feel somebody sees me finally

Pre chorus 

And I pray so earnestly and you come and save me again

Chorus

God take me who I am

I can't stand no more

You share in my suffering

And let down everything for me

You sent your lamb down 

to take all my pain away

And now I rejoice cause this is the day

Bridge 

And when I feel the tears start and roll down my cheeks

I know that you're looking down and you see me

Chorus

God take me who I am 

I will stand for you

You've shared in my suffering

And let down everything for me

Now I'll do the same for you

This song I made on the guitar 

Name: Long absent but not soon forgotten

Verse

When I feel so low and blue

 All I need is turn to you

You're the rock

You're the power

The reminder of a new tomorrow

Pre chorus

Long absent but not soon forgotten

Why do I forget how to praise him

Is there a cure for my ways

Or must I wait

Chorus

Till the day he brings me home 

Up there together whole

I will be with my God, my Lord

He was forgotten, and now I am home

Verse

In the dumps

In the dark 

The potters hand will shape my heart

You're the alpha

The omega 

and the day of my new start

Pre chorus

Long absent but not soon forgotten

Why do I forget how to praise him

Is there a cure for my ways

Or must I wait

Chorus

Till the day he brings me home 

Up there together whole

I will be with my God, my Lord

He was forgotten, and now I am home

Bridge

When I don't know where I am

He brings the light to me

When I have a broken 

He stops it from bleeding

Pre chorus

Long absent but not soon forgotten

Is it that I cannot praise him

Your cure has worked better than everything

Chorus

Cause the day He picks me up

I will feel his eternal love 

Now I will never be alone

I was forgotten and now I am home

Name: Covered by you

Verse

Like a flower

In the sun

God's love shines down on me with the rays of his trust

I am blooming with the fruits of the spirit

Nothing else can stop me but this prison

Chorus

But the light that brings me home is like a light bulb 

The nature that I see is like a rainbow

Oh the promises you keep are like my saviour

Oh God on high my Lord  2x

Verse

Like a blanket you keep me warm

But my burden is too heavy to hold

I keep staggering away from your road 

But then you tell me there is still hope

Chorus

But the light that brings me home is like a light bulb 

The nature that I see is like a rainbow

Oh the promises you keep are like my saviour

Oh God on high my Lord  2x

Bridge

When I ask for help 

You pick me up

When I am so tired 

You fill my cup

When I fall down 

Then you tell me

Just look up and see

Chorus

But the light that brings you home is like a light bulb 

The nature that you see is like a rainbow

Oh the promises I keep are like your saviour

Oh God on high your Lord  2x

Last Chorus

But the light that brings me home is like a light bulb 

The nature that I see is like a rainbow

Oh the promises you keep are like my saviour

Oh God on high my Lord  2x

So those are three songs that are my most recent

Okay, it's getting late. I'll continue on this tomorrow.  Be ready for a part two!
