I am a songwriter and i am only 13 bit those moments when the Holy Spirit puts a song inside of you and you start writing and the words start flowing out and you feel so close in that moment is beautiful I actually wrote this comment while i was writing a song a i just want people to remember that God’s going to give you a song at just the right moment so don’t be upset if you just think one day that you want to write a song and don’t have the words it’s okay he will give it to you at just the right time

This is the reason why he’s never released a bad song!

I'm a brand new Chrsitian songwriter/pianist/guitarist along with one of my best friends, who does the vocals. It took us two months but we finished our first song just two weeks ago. Everything Phil said here is true. Before I wrote for Christ (and before I was saved), I had such a hard time with writing. But when I got saved, me and my friend were in a storage room in our church. There was an old keyboard in there, and we just started playing and singing randomly. I remember our first song we played was Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) by Chris Tomlin. I don't exactly remember how it happened, but we started talking about how God Knows all of our pains. He knows the trials that we face. He holds everything in store for us. And that He's never going to let us walk alone. I started playing some chords on the piano and my friend started singing. We just started singing. We sung about God's great love. And I feel God showed us something, something that we hadn't felt. We wrote the original draft. We transposed different versions. We took a guitar to our church picnic and we played for several people. And everything fell into place. Our music director, who writes songs as well, approved of the lyrics and the song. Our senior and assistant pastors approved. We feel Good wants us to play for Him. The song is on YouTube and you can look up Bryson Motion Pictures if you want to hear it, but most importantly, God is using two teenagers from Clayton NC to help others. It's truly amazing. Trust me, I would know

This is really inspiring! I may not be a songwriter, but I am a poet... Though they aren't really the same thing, I would like to use my passion for poetry to worship Christ :') I want to be unashamed of the Lord, because He saved us!! I want to share my joy for the Lord with others!
Please pray for me, because I want to have courage and strength when I go to my campus to perform. I pray that my poems will plant seeds of hope in people's hearts. I pray that people will be inspired to follow after Christ.
Thank you for your gift and worship, Phil! Thank you for always inspiring me!

My first cousin is Jaci Velasquez and her father (My uncle David) told it to me like this when I told him I want to be a song writer- It's either in you or it's not. No way I'm going to be an NFL quarterback in the next 3 years. I did not play growing up, I did not practice and train like the others, and most importantly, I did not fall in love with that dream. Focus on your strengths and the things that you do have and the rest will fall in place like tetris if you're working diligently at it.

God makes me feel so good and the words just flow out of me and I sing them.

[charitygracestanford]

I needed this. I want to write and create for God soon someday but I struggle with writing and I often focus on the wrong stuff when trying to write! I love Phil, love his music, and he's a great songwriter who's inspired me greatly.

[carlosmejia-orwj]

He hit home for the longest I’ve always wanted to make music even Christian music the most but I’ve always been targeting what people would think rather than praising God and I felt like when that was harder to make music because it wasn’t really praising God but more of my satisfaction and I’m understanding more now about God that I juss wanna praise him

[MattLeFaitMusic]

This has changed my whole mindset about writing!

[prosperokamvelase]

One of my favorite contemporary song writers...

[enioluwaodunjo]

Ooh. I love how he breaks down this journey. Beautiful!

[mosthighschild]

[dennisanderson]

Phil you are one talented dude! Love your process. Keep fighting the good fight of God!

[jonathanolson]

Watching this after he's released Psalm 23 and I can hear the whole song come together here. Very interesting

[saidulumedara]

Really almighty God moves through him may God bless you Phil.

[WorshipwithMeena]

Love his heart of worship! 😍Totally agree with the process of the writing he describes! A song conceived in your heart will come out like a baby, in due time! 😉

[이우성-io]

'This is amazing grace' is very good. God bless you phil!!

[maivajtswv]

Same here. I sometimes have such wonderful phrases that come into my heart for a brief moment and then its gone. I need to have some way to capture these moments so that I can mold it into a beautiful masterpiece for him, our God.
