How to Write a Great Christian Song

This article shows you how to write Christian lyrics to any tune, no matter what type of music! These step-by-step instructions show you everything you need to write great Christian lyrics. Ready? Let's begin!
STEPS

1

Get a general idea of the topic you want to write about. If you have a great idea already, then build off of that. Have an idea before you write the song; it will make it a lot easier!

2

Write the lyrics with a focus on a certain biblical passage or verse; this will improve the song's content, and keep it grounded in truth.

3

Try and pick a specific theme or message for the song. Will it tell a story? Will it illustrate a journey, or demonstrate a viewpoint?

4

Have a sequence ready. Having a general order in which to do things can get your brain working.

5

Name your song based on the topic or message.

TIPS

• Listen to well-known Christian musicians! They are great, and have awesome music which helps sends out the message of God all over the world!
• If you want to write good Christian songs, you should be spiritual also because otherwise you're just hypocritical to listeners. And how could you possibly write about something you don't know?
• Use meaningful and sweet words and no slang.
• Write about how you are feeling. If you're sad write a slow, steady song. If you're happy write a more upbeat song. Every good songwriter has a mixture.
• Include scripture. Most Christian songs include some, even if it's worded differently.
• Nothing is too weird. Write it for the Lord. Ask God for help.
• Write what you believe, don't hold back.
• You can listen to the sermon your preacher gives Sundays, and write about that putting lines he emphasizes as important lines in your song.
• The book of Psalms is perfect for building a song off of it.
• If you can't find an idea, listen to songs you like. Sometimes they can give you ideas, just don't copy the lyrics.

WARNINGS

• Do not plagiarize - it is illegal. If you think your song sounds like another song, play it for other people and see what they think. You can sing it in the same tone but don't plagiarize.
