“I’m going to keep holding on..

holding on to you”

I don’t know how many of you are writers out there and understand my predicament, but I am stuck. I’ve written the above lyrics as a chorus, but I can’t come up with any other words for the song. The music is finished with melody, chords and rhythm, but I can’t or won’t write the verses. I know what the song is about and I love the concept. Maybe this is the problem. I love the chorus so much that I am putting the writer’s block on myself.

Everything Becomes a Burden

It must be the irony that is laughing at me. I have an idea for a song about being persistent but all I want to do is give up on it. We all go through times when we just want to give up on something, even when it is one of the most beneficial things in our lives. After awhile, everything becomes a burdern.. a chore.. a frustration.

God is one thing/being whom we would like to give up on from time to time. I know I have. There have been countless times when I tried to feel his presence or get some kind of assurance that he is there and received nothing. God hardly shows up when we feel we need him too. He hardly shows up at all.

Mother Theresa did it 

It is encouraging to hear that Mother Theresa doubted God at the end of her life. In her personal journal (which I’m torn if I should read) she shares that she felt like God left her at the end of her life. I understand her despair. She was one of the most spiritual people in the public world. Her servant life has completely changed Christianity for many people.

Maybe being persistent with God is similar to why I am choosing to be persistent with this song. I can visualize the goal. I know when I finish the song it will be good [to someone]. When I am frustrated with God, I would love to give up on believing. But I dont. I even say sometimes that I am an atheist, but I’m not.
