There is one secret to writing songs and the most helpful! And that is to pray to God, He is always so faithful and merciful to us and we should thank Him for all the gifts He has given us. I pray each night asking God to give me the words to speak in my songs and that it would be glorifying to Him.
Right now I don't have any song ideas, at the moment. I've been asking God to give me a song that has an unique theme, and different to other songs. If you are a songwriter who needs ideas just pray that God will give you the words to pore out on paper. I speak from experience, even if it takes a long time! The sweet and precious time you have now is to be used wisely. I used my time to read God's word, thank Him, and pray.
Here are my steps:
1. Pray to God: He is the best friend you could ever ask for because He is always listening
2. Spend time in the Word and the world: It is SO helpful to get ideas from stories in the Bible and your friends talking about a certain topic that is important.
3. Be creative and don't be afraid to ask for advice: Let God fill your mind with the information you want to share to others. Also if there is something that is not sounding good to you go to someone you trust ask them what they think of your idea.
4. Love what your doing: If you don't like writing songs then don't do it, your only reason you should write is because you love it and enjoy sharing your great works with others.
Remember that God is always there for you no matter what your going through or how you act. Be kind, encouraging, and forgiving to each other. Comment any good advice for writings that you have encountered through your music journey. I'd love to hear them :)

The Lord is My Shepherd
The Lord is my Shepherd
I cannot want, He gives peace
Heals my soul, leads me to glory
Although I walk in darkness, I fear not
God is there
Your power and glory, comforts me
You prepare a table for me
My drink overflows
With me enemies, you anoint my head with oil
God's love and grace is with me
Only His mercy and kindness follows
And I'll be in the house of the Lord
Chorus:
The Lord is my shepherd, He guides in peace
He gives the righteous path, for His name's sake
The Lord is my shepherd
I cannot want, He gives peace
Heals my soul, leads me to glory
Although I walk in darkness, I fear not
God is there
Your power and glory, comforts me
You prepare a table for me
My drink overflows
With me enemies, you anoint my head with oil
God's love and grace is with me
Only His mercy and kindness follows
And I'll be in the house of the Lord
Chorus:
The Lord is my shepherd, He guides in peace
He gives the righteous path, for His name's sake
The Lord is my shepherd
