Thread Name: Lyr Req: Need middle verse for original song
Subject: Need middle verse for original song
Okay, I'm not too sure how this will work out, but intwo weeks there the Wes Ginny Mountain Satge (PBS) dirst statewide song writer's competition and I've got the first and last verses and a bunch of not-so-hot middle ones. If I use your verse. I will give you credit and you will officially be a collaborator, but i'm stuck.

The song is about the things man does and blames on God so with that premise, if you're turned off, than it might be a waste of time grinding any gray matter. I don't do that clever hotmail stuff, or wahtever it is, that makes songs look like songs so please bare with me.

First verse:

Well, I walked down to the preacher's house... Knockin' on the man's front door... Said, "Preacher, can ya tell me... what'd Jesus die for?"... He said "Why, son, he dies for your salvation... Up there on Calvary Hill"... I said, "Tahnk you there good reverand"... He said, "Son, it was God's will... It was just God's will."

Missing verse???? Help... Blocked and tired...

Last verse:

I say to you in sheep's clothing... That your debt's will all be paid... When you try your lines on St. Peter... Standin' at the Pearly Gates... For Mathew said, "Nothin's hidden... That one day won't be found"... Yeah, no secrets kept behind closed doors... That won't one day be known around... You'll be known by your deeds in time... lives you taken so very still... And you'll find your empty words won't change... Your final judgement, that's God's will... That's God's will.

So, hey, that's what I have along with some real cool music in D mofel tuning. Now, if ya got something and just don't want to throw it into the the Catbox, PM me...

And, thanks.....
