The Heart of a Songwriter

The Heart of a Songwriter

Amanda Cook

The plan is to be the person who is close enough to the Lord to hear His heart and speak it into the world.
* To speak life to dry places.

What is the message inside of you that you have to get out, even when you’re by yourself?

Songwriting is writing out your personal history with God.
* It is for personal encounter and corporate victory.

Your story with the Lord is the key to writing into our culture that God exists.
* You hold the key to your own love letter to God.
* Our connection to Him, and our response to Him is true evidence that He exists and cares and knows you and wants to be known to Him.

People won’t know how close they can be to Him unless it is talked about.

“I don’t want to leave this world without the evidence of a person well loved”

He rejoices over us with singing.
* If you don’t know what to sing, stop and listen to the song He is singing over you.
* He has invited us into an intimate exchange out of love.

The greatest gift you have is your authenticity.
* He is looking for your authentic worship.

If I’m not moved by what I write, no one else will be.
* It’s not about being the best, it’s about connecting and being moved.
* Remember to connect daily, and not get lost in looking at the vision.

“How vain is it to sit down and write, when we have not stood up to live.”
* Writing comes from living.

Write the truest sentence that you know about your walk with God.

“May you be in love every day, and for the next 20,000 days and out of that love remake a world.”
