Creating Worship Songs Your Church Will Sing
Creating worship songs is a serious business because we are instructed to sing to the LORD new songs. The process of songwriting to create worship songs that are true, lasting, and memorable will be explored with takeaways for personal practice in the areas of lyrics, melody, and form. It may sound a bit pedantic, but it will be filled with insights for you and your songwriters.
