Lifes' Song

Hi

Now if this isn't politically correct I am sure the mods with delete it

But it just one view on the world and in particular my life ...

I do not or was it my intention to write a song that people find offensive , and I am sorry if it does .

I can say whole heartedly this is just a song , that has religious content with in ..

THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE DISREPECTFUL TO ANY RELIGION OR BELIEFS


Verse 1
I’ll be going to church on Sunday
I’ll probably be sinning by Monday
Mum always told me its in that book
Just open your mind and have a look

Verse 2
Going to church and praying
Does he hear what I’m saying
I hold dear to that sacred book
Learning about forgiveness
Though I can’t forgive that crook

Chorus
The devil has his ambitions
For all our life’s decisions
Doesn’t matter what you try
Being a little naughty
Or perfectly nice

Bridge
I don’t fear him now
Wish he would take his bow
I’m no longer lost
As I finally found the cross
I don’t fear him now

Verse 3
I never hide my feelings
My stories will have you reeling
Be honest with yourself
And smile with everyone else
Mum do you forgive me now


Chorus
The devil has his ambitions
For all our life’s decisions
Doesn’t matter what you try
Being a little naughty
Or perfectly nice
_________-

Trev,
Pretty good, has a blusy quality to me. Do you have a melody in mind?
Also if you don't mind:

Chorus
The devil has his ambitions
For all our life’s decisions
Are you ready to pay the price
Being a little naughty
Or perfectly nice

thats a cool song style thingy ya got goin on here....as a worship leader in my church i could see myself working on this and actually using it...in my opinion, the only element that is missing to make a complete story line is how the storyteller found his redemption...is it ok to kick around some ideas?
