THE ROCK OF THE FOUNDATION

62

By commentonthis7

Here is a song (lyrics )that i wrote tell me what you think about it ?

They say its a poem until you add music to it

I hope you like it

THE ROCK OF THE FOUNDATION

(1)Jesus is the rock of the foundation,The king of all creations

He can defeat all temptation, That comes our way

So hold on to Jesus, and he'll not let you stray

(Chorus)

You can shake the foundation,

But you'll not tear it down

And I'll stand for Jesus till they lay me down

(2)There's a war raging within your soul

Fighting a battle of who's in control

Sometimes it can take a toll ,and turn our heart cold

(3)But I know I've got Jesus, and I'm prepare to fight

No matter where I go I'll fight on and on

Till I make heaven my home

(4)The battle goes on and on there seems to be no end

It can dim the heart of any man and fill their heart with sin

Just hold on to Jesus and you will win

(5)Keep you light shining bright and prepare to fight the raging battle

Of what's wrong and what's right and don't lose your way

From the path you're on

just take hold of Jesus and he'll lead you home

I love the message of the song. Not sure of a melody though. Nothing comes to mind but I believe it would if I worked at it a little.

Not a song writer but I do love poetry--you hit it right on the head with those words! I'd love to hear it as a song--I can imagine it sounding like a Third Day kind of song:)

Not sure if it would be a Third Day song or not. They tend to sing almost exclusively songs of praise and worship. I do love the lyrics though.

Maybe I can print the words off and see what I can do with them and take them to a friend, if you wouldn't mind.

Copied it to a wordpad and I love the lyrics. I think the chorus should go similar to the last line of the first verse.

Hold onto Jesus

Yes hold onto Jesus

Just hold onto Jesus

He'll never let you stray

What do you think? I kind have a melody that I think would work.

Right on! I like the line where you speak of sin dimming the heart of man. Very nice!

SirDent--you're cool! Didn't know you were a musician:) I should give you one of my poems since my husband doesn't have the time to turn it into a song....

Love it! I'll probably make a song out of your lyrics, and share it in our church. Will that be okay? Hehe.

I THINK I COULD WORK THIS INTO A SONG, I MIGHT HAVE TO CHANGE IT A LITTLE TO FIT THE RITHYM (PRONUCIATION) BUT THE THEME IS GOOD. KEEP IN MIND THAT MOST SONGS ARE NOT LONGER THAN 3.5 - 4 MINUTES. ANYWAY GOOD WORK. I LIKE IT. SAIL ON MYFRIEND SAIL ON
