I wrote my first song today. It took be about 45 minutes, but I did it. And I actually really like it. I even have the notes for the right hand on the keyboard to go with the lyrics, as well. I’m so excited about this because I’m awful at rhyming (and I don’t like songs that don’t rhyme very much) and I just can’t ever complete any songs. I think I did well. I’ll post the lyrics and you guys can tell me what you think, okay?? The title is “Gonna Give It Up To You”!

What do I do
When I’ve fallen away from you
Can you show me
How my life should be

(Chorus)
I can’t eat, I can’t sleep,
My mind is running to its own beat.
My heart keeps breaking
With every step I’m taking

Everything is getting in the way
Of what I should be doing everyday
Can you bring me back to the place
Where I first saw your face

(Chorus)
I can’t eat, I can’t sleep,
My mind is running to its own beat.
My heart keeps breaking
With every step I’m taking

(Bridge)
Now I’m gonna give it up to you
I don’t want this burden so tell me what to do

And as I bow my head
I know You have risen from the dead
Only you can save me from my sin
Now I know where to begin

(Chorus)
I can’t eat, I can’t sleep,
My mind is fueling a brand new heat.
My heart keeps beating
Because we’re finally meeting

I said my heart keeps beating
Because we’re finally meeting

Story behind the song: So tonight at Girls’ Bible Study after Monday Madness with the REYG, I basically cried and spilled my guts for half an hour to everyone that came. By the end of Bible Study, a few people were really frustrated about a question that had come up and the frustration was spreading to other people, as well. Afterward, we went of to a member of the REYG’s house to watch a movie and have a fun dance party with everyone that went to Monday Madness.

We didn’t watch a movie, we didn’t have a dance party… A lot of stuff happened that got even more people frustrated and upset. And after we were told to leave an hour early because it just wasn’t a good night, I sat on one of the stairs in front of the house and just cried for 10 minutes before someone came over to talk to me and noticed that I was crying. So, I spilled my guts some more and started crying even more. Because of this, I left feeling frustrated and it just wasn’t a good night. And when I got home, I was trying to figure out what I could do that would calm me down and just get me to realize that God was still there whether I could feel him over my emotions or not. So, I started playing my keyboard and ended up writing this song.

I hope whoever’s reading this liked it and that someone benefits from it. It’s not extremely long, but I think it gets my point across and I think there are a lot of people who need to hear what the song had to say.

Whether you know me or not, if you ever want someone who will listen and try her hardest to help you with anything, just send me a little thing in the comments asking for help because I don’t think anyone should have to suffer alone. It’s the worst feeling and I wouldn’t want anyone else to have to feel that.

I love everyone that’s reading this. :] Toodles!

(PS) I have 9 ant bites on my feet, pray that they stop itching?? =/

    Sorry you had such a difficult evening but sounds like you put 2 Corinthians 10:5 to heart and took your thoughts captive for Christ by writing a song. Way to go!!!

    I read some stuff in Money Magazine about college loans today, so I am mailing it to you since Steve and I are leaving town in the morning.
