Songs that seem to sell

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

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.

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.

I would like to read the rest of your song when you get it completed. It looks like it is going to be a cool song.

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!
