The Process to Production

As I write this, I find myself overwhelmed by what I could communicate to you. I have just finished two new singles. They are going to be without an album cover for awhile, but they have purpose. I've posted them on myspace and one has made it into another book. Thank you Kathy!
"Oh, Come to Me Jesus" was written with a mother's heart. My young men, the teenagers in the family are heading off in their own directions, as they should be. They are maturing and making their own decisions. We have come to bumps in the road in the last year, not seeing eye to eye. There have been two anchors for me to hang on to. One is knowing that they will continue to grow and mature. The other is that there is a God who loves them more than I ever could. He is always watching and protecting them. This may be every mother's dream, to have someone help their kids when she cannot.

So the idea came last fall. How does one write "I don't know what the future holds"? Well, you can do just that, write those words. Or you can come up with a new way to say it. "Here between the present and the not yet seen". Maybe there is something even better. But this is how it was put down.
One tip is to write and rewrite the line to get many options. Then see which fits in with the music. Many new writers say "It's done" too early.
It has taken one year to produce one song. Sometimes it takes longer. Be patient. Try different angles. Rewriting is writing I've been told.

Good Luck!
