I've recently started co-writing some original songs with another guy in our worship band and really appreciate the tips. In the past, i always (fearfully) jumped into step 4 ---scared to death-- but i really like your flow of ideas. I especially liked the thought of 'being open to criticism but staying in tune with the idea the Lord has given...'. any thoughts on 'testing' an original song on the congregation? how do you decide if it's 'sticking'? you always have encouragers who like everything you do (as well as those who don't like anything...). So how do you decide if the audience is connecting with it? any thoughts? Thanks, Erika!

any thoughts?

Half of the songs we sing at Vintage21 Church are originals, and this post is extremely helpful. Especially #1, sending the lyrics and asking them to pray over them. thanks, Matt Erika,
