New songs?
 

Do any churches here (or individuals, for that matter) compose or write new songs for worship? Or revamp old songs in a new way for worship?

I am wondering how much of the church's music these days is indigenous vs imported from 'the worship music industry'.

I write my own songs, but don't use them as much as I should. I'd really love to get them recorded, but I can't write music; and when I reached out to a local recording studio, they quoted me $2k per song to write and compose it for me. I don't find that unreasonable, I just can't afford it. :/

Can you sing them?

Yeah, I just wish I could write music. I really should try and learn that. I used to be able to read music, but I haven't practiced it in ~27 years.

Just sing them, record them, release them! No writing required...

actually there are progs that will write it for you now, assuming you are in pitch.

the gist being that in DByrne's opinion what E said is almost too easy :)

I have "written" several songs although I don't play any instrument nor can I read sheet music. I just sing what's in my head and let a guitarist put the chords, etc. Right now, I'm working on turning memory verses into songs. :-)
