Folks,

It’s been a quick week and I can’t imagine how my time is zapped up like a blink of the eye. Monday comes and within no time Sunday is here. Yet, life is such a wonderful gift from God to be lived at the fullest. Although we are partly experiencing the economic downfall, I believe we are all ready to face any challenges and come out of this mess soon. We must continue to pray for our leaders. Anyway, without much ado, I thought I would like to update some of my thoughts on writing worship songs.

Writing songs for worship as I have learned is a 3 way process. First, I, most oftentimes write worship songs from my own personal devotions. Worship songs can be personal. The Scripture/ God’s words has to speak to me first. What does God say? How is it going to impact to me personally? Unless, there is a personal testimony to your songs, songs can become song-sake and your relationship with God may not be reflected in the song.

Second, Worship songs can be corporately addressed. What is the proclaimed Word? To whom it is addressed? What is the Scripture teaching us through the particular verse? How will the song affect the congregation? Carefully analyze any worship songs of this generation, and you will find there are songs that is addressed as ‘I’ or sometimes ‘We/Our’. It does not necessarily mean that because it is addressed as ‘I’ it is not a worship song. Our personal worship can be corporately shared by each individual and sung as a congregation. Example, ‘I worship You,’ “I give you my heart’ ‘Our God is an awesome God,’ ‘We’ve come to bless your name’ etc. It means the author of the song has had the congregation in mind and is collectively desiring that the Scripture has something to say to the congregation, and that is, addressed to the people as a response to God.’ (more…)
