In guitar class, I assigned a song-writing project. All of the kids put effort into this – a song is something very personal because it has to come from your heart, they told me. Some of them had wonderful melodies in their head, but they couldn’t find a beat. Others had a rhythm that fit well with their words, but they couldn’t find a melody. Others had everything all figured out – except they had no idea how to write it down on staff paper!
Though it was a challenging project, I was pleased with the results. Here is a song a student wrote based on 1 Corinthians 13. I put selected verses from 1 Corinthians so you can hear how her song lyrics matched with the chapter.
