chords and melodies

the process of song writing itself is never easy. i think praise songs are even harder. some people are gifted...very gifted. i feel as though i have been left out of that category. as a part of the band i feel like i am running into a wall in this area. maybe it is because i am trying too hard to impress people with lyrics and melodies. i understand that a praise song cannot be a complicated mix of words that leaves the singer wondering what he just saing about. i also understand that the music in the song does not have to be complex and crazy either. i believe every part of the sound should glorify God. if i take that and use it every time i strike a chord for writing i know we will be blessed. i also believe a worship song comes from something much bigger than me, especially if God wants to use it to change people. the bible has to come into play sometime. scripture and its control in your life should be evident in writing. this has been a struggle for me. i find myself asking "what will fit here, and how can this go there". should it be easier? i love every part of one revolution.... every part. and i must stay focused on what my God has called me to do..to praise Him with everything that I have..not to seek the praise of men in what i can do.
may there be grace and mercy, Lord.
