jeast Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I wrote this little ditty in the early 80's I heard a lot of songs and the ones that seem to sell are those where someone dies or else they feel like.. Well.. they say misery loves company but that I can do without I'd rather live a life of peace than I would a life of doubt. Chorus Let's live our lives the way God meant it to be full of love joy and peace not death and misery Let's live our lives the way God meant it to be Full of love joy and peace not death and misery. Now don't get me wrong I'm not puttin people down But I believe that it's about time we took a look around Take a check up from the neck up, see what goes into our minds To keep that turkey Satan from makin us so blind. Chorus God gave His son so that we might have life And God's word says that we've been healed by the stripes on Jesus Christ But if you don't believe it then God's hands are tied How can He help you if you think He's lied Chorus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waysider Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I'm curious, jeast, do you still write? We had a discussion about creativity here a while back but I can't remember the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeast Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 I'm curious, jeast, do you still write?We had a discussion about creativity here a while back but I can't remember the thread. Yes I do. But it has taken me a while to get my heart back to the point where I had any inspiration at all. It is like a timeline or diary if you will. I will post a few if you don't mind later on.

jeast Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Lots of people now a days are living their lives in fear Some don't know what God has to say some don't even care. some believe that they were born just so they could die They have no hope cause they've been drinkin from Cisterns that run dry Religious cisterns are made by man they can't do what they say they can Anything that's not from God's a lie chorus, It's what God wrought through Jesus Christ That's Christianity Not what other men may teach through their theology And we will give our God All of the Glory. We don't have to be afraid anymore Cause we've got God and Christ within God can put His love where fear was before Hope where hope has never been God's Son Christ Jesus endured the cross despising the shame. even though He'd done no wrong He took all the blame. He came and gave us his life even though we despised Him IF THAT'S NOT LOVE THERE'S NO SUCH THING. It's what God wrought through Jesus Christ That;s Christianity Not what other men may teach through their theology And we will give our God All of the Glory. We will give God the Glory.

lucygoosey Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I wrote a song, here's the chorus No ordinary baby, no ordinary child The King of Kings and Lord of Lords Whom Gabriel prophesied Would be born of a virgin The Son of The Most High No ordinary baby, no ordinary child Still writing the rest of the song. Did check with my pastor on the Gabriel part to make sure it could actually have been considered prophesy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like it is going to be a cool song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherDan Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 good stuff! I'm less concerned with "what sells" as I am with what connects. A good song is when the author has something meaningful to say, and then says it well. Best wishes on future inspiration! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I do. But it has taken me a while to get my heart back to the point where I had any inspiration at all.
It is like a timeline or diary if you will. I will post a few if you don't mind later on.

Lots of people now a days
are living their lives in fear
Some don't know what God has to say
some don't even care.
some believe that they were born
just so they could die
They have no hope cause they've been drinkin from
Cisterns that run dry
Religious cisterns are made by man
they can't do what they say they can
Anything that's not from God's a lie
chorus,
It's what God wrought through Jesus Christ
That's Christianity
Not what other men may teach
through their theology
And we will give our God
All of the Glory.
We don't have to be afraid anymore
Cause we've got God and Christ within
God can put His love where fear was before
Hope where hope has never been
God's Son Christ Jesus endured the cross despising the shame.
even though He'd done no wrong
He took all the blame.
He came and gave us his life even though we despised Him
IF THAT'S NOT LOVE THERE'S NO SUCH THING.
It's what God wrought through Jesus Christ
That;s Christianity
Not what other men may teach
through their theology
And we will give our God
All of the Glory.
We will give God the Glory.

I wrote a song, here's the chorus
No ordinary baby, no ordinary child
The King of Kings and Lord of Lords
Whom Gabriel prophesied
Would be born of a virgin
The Son of The Most High
No ordinary baby, no ordinary child
Still writing the rest of the song. Did check with my pastor on the Gabriel part to make sure it could actually have been considered prophesy.
