Thread Name: Let's Write Some Gospel Lyrics
Subject: RE: Let's Write Some Gospel Lyrics
Hi, Sooz! For now, I'm writing my verses without reading others', so I won't curtail my imagination. Later on, I may submit a suggested composite song for your perusal.

Here's a first stab at the "St. James Infirmary" song.

MAN STANDIN' THERE BESIDE YOU A Mudcat Gospel Song TUNE: St. James Infirmary

I see a man standin' there beside you,
Though you may not know he's there.
And he looks like he's keeping an eye on you,
And it looks like he might even care.

possible chorus: Let him in, let him in, let him lead you
Whoever you may be.
You can search this wide world over,
But there's no one else can set you free.

possible verse:
As you walk thru the hills and valleys,
All the troubles that you bear,
In your darkest hour, he's with you
And you fin'lly realize he [just might] care[s].
