~Let your mess become your message
Let your sin become your hymn
All your lies and your secrets
and every evil whim
Come out Come out wherever you are
and just give it all to Him
Let your mess become your message
then you’ll have peace within.~

I am thinking Mckameys or The Cookes…I’m not picky…

Reuben or Hubert…lets do lunch!

If your field is Southern Gospel, then you’re like most of us
You can’t be real succesful, unless you have a bus
If you’re just a weekend warrior, you’re not full time although
If you pull up in a Prevost, the church will never know
You recorded a new project with the Crook name on the label
But with that big bus payment there’s no food upon your table
That knocking in the engine is a forboding presage
Let’s hope you turn this mess into a message.

Yes, references to God, Jesus such as Him, He should be caps. He is more than a swear word.

I vote for Troy’s version - “rump is in a rumpus”….now THAT’S just pure poetry. I may need a tissue…

When your mess becomes your message,
when bad breaks are breaking you,
when your rump is in a rumpus,
there is one thing you can do.

Do not cry when you’re in crisis,
nor when foes foment anew.
Simply call upon Lord Jesus,
He will always see you through.

My mess became my message
Of this I am quite sure
But then the message got quite messy
And lost all its allure

So I went back to the mess I made
To try and clean it up
But the message had become too loud
So I decided to shut up

…I never quit my day job.

Proving that there truly is nothing new under the sun…a year ago, I wrote a song with Kenna West and John Lemonis called “Mess Into a Message” - here’s the chorus:

If He makes beauty from ashes
Turns your night into day
If He can move any mountain
Get it out of your way
He can take all your failures
And turn ‘em into successes
And He can surely turn your mess into a message

Everybody says your life is a mess.
You don’t care,that they don’t approve.
It’s your life, your blisss,..
The ingnorance of youth.

I’ll keep my dayjob too…lol

When your mess becomes your message
then you’re carrying too much baggage
you can’t heal your heart with a bandage
or fill the emptiness with a sandwich

You need to be reborn and get a bus
for the last word in Jesus is us
So start a quartet, get an email address
and turn the mess into a message

I’ma mess, I guess, I must confess;
When I’m at my worst, sometimes it’s my best.

Since you started a songwriting thread I have a question for the masses. When you are referring to the Lord in any way, shape or form should it be capitalized? He, Him, Lord, God, etc. our Presbyterian hymnal has quite a lot of references to God (et al) that do not capitalize the reference (him, he, etc.). Personally, I think they are incorrect, others?

Lord, my life is such a mess.
But I have to confess.

And I’m a’feelin no stress.

Okay…I’ll stick to my day job.

That’s up there with the opening lines of “Jesus Is The Answer Every Time,” by the Statler Brothers (and I believe it was written by Don & Harold Reid.)

“When there’s no good in your good mornings, too much hell in your hellos…”
