3rd Commandment of Worship Songwriting
Jul 14, 2023My new course is out and on sale!
It's called "Deeper Worship Lyrics" and it is designed especially for the worship songwriter.
To celebrate the launch, we are going through my "Ten Commandments of Worship Songwriting".
Today we look at commandment 3:
"Be deep, not puffed up. Fancy theological words go down like whole cabbages."
There is no need to drone on about transubstantiation or the difference between general and special revelation. Talking down to your audience doesn't help them get closer to God. Songs are vehicles. They help us get to our destination, which is meeting with God. If you write a flashy song with dense theological terms, you have made the words more important that the meaning.
Keep it simple.
