Yeah it was a nice song Soph...It seems like one that'd be sung with a huge choir. I'll be looking forward to some more from you. Also from you CA!

*gets out conducting stick* "And a one, and a two, and-"

Thanks! Hmm... I guess it could sound nice that way. I wasn't really thinking about how it could be performed, but a choir does sound good.

I also look forward to hearing some more of your songs, TD (and FE, too. I've finally touched down on a weekend so hopefully I'll finally get my fanart posted

).

Well, here's my go at the song topic 'thoughts'. I guess I'm using it more as a theme or angle than as a refrain.

'THOUGHTS'

I'm falling over and tumbling again
I know that I have let you down before.
I cannot forget all the love that you've shown
but I seem to always cast it on the floor.

I know what I should be and I know just what I am
My failures and shortcomings very clear.
My spirit is so willling but the rest will not comply,
I come before you quaking and with tears.

Then you come, with tenderness
and take all of my striving far away.
It is your grace, that leads me onward,
and gives me strength to live within your Way.

I am sitting still, and just thinking of you,
and how your death covers my shame.
Your strength fills in my weaknesses, leaving perfect peace
and I am left forever not the same.

I'm holding so tight to your everlasting grace,
I've let you down but you are changing me.
You do it so gently, with unending love,
I praise your graciousness I've come to see.

I really like this one, CA. Lots of nice imagery and great descriptive words. Excellent!

Ok...Lets see...The next topic should be "Thoughts." You should take a shot at it Rachel!

Well I actually had to do work in newspaper the other day so I didn't get to work on the sacrifice one. But yeah, I'll tackle this one or try to i guess I should say.

Oh my gosh, ya'll have been busy the last few days! Excelent songs, everyone! They all deserve more detailed praises, but I've kind of had very little sleep this weekend, and I don't think I'm up to the task at the moment...

In the mean time, what's the next theme?

Postby **Rachel** » Sat May 07, 2005 9:16 pm

I should have the song for y'all tomorrow probably. As for a new topic, how about....selflessness?

Postby **Photosoph** » Sat May 07, 2005 10:41 pm

That's a good one. However I probably won't post another song for a while since I am bogged down by a medium case of busyness (not business). Will look forward to reading all y'all's songs!

Postby **That Dude** » Mon May 09, 2005 10:53 am

If nobody else takes up the Selflessness one I'll try my hand at it.

Postby **Rachel** » Tue May 10, 2005 4:58 pm

I'm not sure if this is what you were looking for on thoughts, but I just took that idea and ran with it. :sweat:

time was standing stil
thoughts of why circling
you've broken my heart
now could you put it back, let it heal
CHORUS- you're gone away and all that's left
is racing through my mind
countless thoughts of you
and all I can't leave behind
V2- there are no words to say
all I still feel for you
trying to get on by
waiting for my beautiful day
Chorus
V3- You took my heart and all I could give
was laying in your hands
yours to cherish forever
till the moment it stops beating
Chorus

Hopefully y'all liked that.

That was awesome Rachel! I'll be looking forward to hearing more from you soon!

Postby **Rachel** » Wed May 11, 2005 3:23 pm

Thanks!

Postby **CreatureArt** » Fri May 13, 2005 5:04 am

Awesome song, Rachel.
I like how you've described the thoughts as 'circling' - it's really effective and conveys the idea well. The last line about until the heart stops beating is really striking, too.

Also a good song topic that you suggested earlier: 'Selflessness'. Does anyone want to try their hand at it? I'd like to see what you all come up with - it's been so excellent so far and I enjoy reading what you all write.

Postby **Rachel** » Sat May 21, 2005 9:19 pm

Thanks,CA.

Have you guys written anything lately?

Postby **CreatureArt** » Sun May 22, 2005 3:31 am

I'm working on chords for some lyrics I have:

Just a single move
only a tiny step
I could take you down
I could drive you back
but I wish you knew --
I just want to heal you.

I want to hold you close
when you are slipping away
keep you some place safe
'till there's a brighter day
and I wish you knew --
I just want to heal you.

When the night is cold
and the world is dark
I want to be the one
with who you'll share your heart
but I wish you knew --
oh, I hope you know...

(*then some chorus/ bridge I haven't got yet, or perhaps that should go between the verses*).

This was a song God used to help me not too long ago. I thought I was writing the song for someone else I knew who was in a very fragile and unstable place/condition, but then I realised that God was actually talking to me, too. So it is a special one, and I want to try and put it to chords that will match the melody

.

Ok, so the next random song theme is currently 'selflessness' for everyone wanting to give it a go....

Postby **Rachel** » Sun May 22, 2005 10:00 am

That's awesome!

Postby **That Dude** » Mon May 23, 2005 4:45 pm

Very very good my C-dizzle! It has that nice Lifeshouse'ish sound that you like. If I can find time to write some stuff I'll post. It might be a while though...They're working me pretty hard here.

Postby **CreatureArt** » Wed May 25, 2005 3:09 am

Thanks, Rachel and TD. It'd be cool to hear some more of your songs soon.

Postby **Blitzkrieg1701** » Wed Jun 01, 2005 1:17 pm

Um, this isn't really that much of a Christian song, but it amussed me once it was done. It's basicly just my recolections of the anime convention I was at this weekend (most of this stuff actually happened). I don't have any chords, but I sort of imagine it as a 50s doo-wop ballad, just cause it makes it that much sillier.

Iâ€™ve been standing in line for an hour
And my legs are starting to shake
Iâ€™ve got the urge to eat one more box of Pocky
But Iâ€™m not sure how much more my body can take
I havenâ€™t slept in about twenty hours
And my costume is starting to stink
But complaining couldnâ€™t be farther from my thoughts
Since Iâ€™m not quite awake enough to think

The fellow behind me dressed up as Miroku
Is looking for a Sango to chase
And the guy in front of me crept under a table to sleep
And an 8-foot-tall No Face just took his place
A whole crowd of ninjas just marched past us
Chanting their very own battle song
But Iâ€™m just straining to see where the line even ends
â€˜Cause Iâ€™ve been standing in it for way too long

Iâ€™ve got a bag of â€œChicks Dig Giant Robotsâ€

Postby **Rachel** » Wed Jun 01, 2005 6:38 pm

Haha, that's pretty cool. I tried to imagine it with a fifties sound but I couldn't get it. Hopefully I'll have some new stuff to post soon.

Hi! Somehow I have never seen this thread before. Anyway, here is a praise song I wrote a while back. Try to imagine peppy, upbeat music.

The Lord is my shepherd but I go astray
He leads to green pastures but I go my own way
He comes to find me anyway, He comes to lift me up
He comes to find me anyway, He comes to lift me up

Chorus:
He lifts me
He fills me up with hope and peace where there was only pain
He gives me life abundantly and lifts me up again
When I fall down into the mud He comes to pull me out
When my life is confusion He erases all my doubt

I need the Lord's help in my walk everyday
So I get on my knees and he listens when I pray
He comes to help me when I pray, He comes to lift me up
He comes to help me when I pray, He comes to lift me up

Chorus

Bridge:
He's right beside me everyday,
He listens to me when I pray,
He helps me out in every way,
He comes to lift me up.
(Repeat)

Chorus

Cool!

A life of apathy.
Wallowing in misery.
No one there for sympathy.

Will anyone come visit me?
Will I bleed alone?
I never wished to be alone.
Yet I forced myself into this state.
How did this happen to me?

I'll take my emotions and light them up like flames.
I'll cry to you and scream your name.

Has all my life been pointless?
I always seem to miss.
How can I be content with this?
------------------------------------------------------------

Wow...It's been a long time. I kinda did this one the spot so...I like it though. The two lines right before the end are the chorus...I'm not all the way sure how the song'll be laid out.

Postby **Rachel** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 9:06 pm

That's really good. I especially liked the last two stanzas.

Postby **That Dude** » Fri Jun 24, 2005 1:03 pm

Thanks Rachel. Do you have any? I have one more that I'll try and post sometime soon.

Postby **Rachel** » Fri Jun 24, 2005 1:09 pm

My little sister and I are currently writing a song and I'm about to start writing one of my own. When they're finished I'll probably post them.

Postby **That Dude** » Sun Jul 03, 2005 12:40 pm

Here's another song that I wrote.
--------------------------------------

I hope I could use this imagery
To pierce your mind
To let you see

All you know is what you've been told
By Godless fools
Fallen useless tools

Your mind's in captivity
Lies leaving you with nothing to breath
As your sinking beneath this sea
Never left with anything you need

Oh if you had eyes to see
God's glory
And what life can be.
---------------------------------------------

And that's it.

Postby **Rachel** » Mon Jul 04, 2005 10:11 pm

Nice.

I should have one to post sometime within this week.

TEST OF TIME Â© <name removed for security reasons>

Coming forth from the shadows
The test of time now calls
â€œCan you withstand the trials of
The greatest test of all?â€
