Two songs popped into my head driving home from church today and I think we might have some fun with them. I know I did. I'll lay out the first verse and tune for each. Add what you like.

Rules? OK!

1. It needs to work with the tune because I will probably sing it, most likely in church, or at least the verses I like.

2. If you crowd a lot of syllables into a line, that's a fine, time-honored tradtion in gospel, but help us see how it scans and sings by putting the accented syllables in CAPS if it could be confoozin.

3. No whining if you don't like someone else's verses.

4. NO WHINING IF YOU DON'T LIKE SOMEONE ELSE'S VERSES. (PM me your whine instead, there ya go.)

5. Of course I reserve the right to edit if and when we wrap this up, and they can go in the Mudcat Songbook.

See my next two posts for the songs we are working on.
