Song Writing

Read Psalms 131-135

Psalms 134:1 "Behold, bless ye the Lord, all ye servants of the Lord, which by night stand in the house of the Lord."

If we long to write a song, we can’t go wrong with using the Psalms to jump-start us. As we read through the Psalms, we’ll run into lots of them that we have learned, thanks to them already having been set to music.

We don’t have to stick strictly to the way the verse is worded. We can change the words, combine verses, anything to get going on the lyrics.

For the music, we can use variations of tunes that are in the public domain. We can even start with a familiar modern tune and change it up if we are having problems coming up with something original.
