I thought this was about music not God
I've been writing praise and worship songs for 8 years now and I've found with my experience is that the more time I spend alone with God, either praying or reading His Word and meditating on Him; that more songs come and they are usually complete. But if I don't spend time with Him then very few songs and usually incomplete songs. A lot of good information here!
is there truth that you have to some to play to come
thank you paul just listen to music it sound like the music all used up lol
This is cool!
So refreshing to see the contemporary Christian artist as the real deal, Great encouragement to me. I am one of those journalers of everything and a lifelong songwriter. The Lord really ministers to me through all this and hopefully I do serve His heart well. I don't have the stomach for success or a head for business, but I get great joy in the creative process.
I'm 5 minutes into this and I really appreciate your take on songwriting and how you tie it in to keeping your mind in positive things that build up faith.

Very cool. Good information.
A wonderful video and great sharing on how to bring thoughts and ideas into starting out song writing. Paul is so easy to follow, such a great simple spirit that connects with
listener. I so love his songs, brings you into worship and presence of the Lord.
somebody sais yeah near him
This is really cool.
I meant the old bad songs that you may have written as a younger writer.. Hymns are mostly good, otherwise they wouldn't have lasted so long 😉
Aaron Shust's song, "My Savior My God," is actually a recreation of an old hymn written in 1873 by Dora Greenwell called "I am Not Skilled to Understand." He said he was thumbing through a hymnal one day and came across the awesome verses. He kept the verses, added his own melody and a chorus, and created the song we all know and love today.
Great vid. Funny and informative!
I was wondering whether you think it's worth revisiting those old bad songs for their ideas and using your experience to make them good?
There's some really helpful ideas in here 🙂
Wow! The best, clearest, video. Clear voice, very professional, no mechanical problems…and great advice.
