Hello.  I'm new to this side of pip.  I posted here once before, but most of my stuff is posted in Teens.  This is a poem/song that I just got done writing, and am thinking about putting to music.  Anywho, let me know what you all think, and I'm glad to be posting here.    


SONGS OF PRAISE

Chorus:
The greatness of our Lord
Deserves for us to sing a chord
For the Lord is here for all our days
And so we give our songs of praise

Lord, when you're drivin' me from evil
You give Satan a big upheaval
You keep me on the right road
And I have reaped what I have sowed

Lord, I l'm livin' life to serve You
You're the one I always knew
You gave your life for me
You've shown me all that I can be

Chorus

Lord, when you're givin' me direction
You give my life some correction
You get me far from Satan's way
And you always brighten up my day

Lord, I know there's tough times in life
I'll suffer pain and strife
But you'll always be there
You've shown me how much you care

Chorus

Welcome to our side of the world!   Glad you joined us!!!!

I think this has great potential, and would be a wonderful testament of faith and praise set to music.

I however think some of the lines are a bit choppy, and have played with it a bit.
I didn't spend a whole lot of time on it, but this is what I came up with.

We praise the greatness of our Lord
With songs of praise, and strums of chord
The Lord is with us all our days
We thank Him with our songs of praise

When you're drivin' me from evil
Satan's in a big upheaval
You guide me down the righteous road
I learn I get what I have sowed

Lord, the life I lives' to serve You
You're the One stedfast and true
You've given your life to save me
You've shown me all that I can be

Chorus
When you're givin me direction
Along the way you've made correction
You get me far from Satan's way
You always brighten up my day

I know there's trials in our life
I know I'll suffer pain and strife
Lord, I know you'll always be there
You've more than shown how much you care

Welcome to this site.  Nice to see such a song of thankfulness as you have written. i do believe WhtDove has made some valid points and hope you will re-work slightly and set this to music.  It should make a great song!
