Lyrics / "GOD'S BEEN GOOD TO ME"

This could be used as a poem without any doubt. It flows well and your topic is very heartfelt although you used way too many words to express it. A song, generally, doesn’t end up so specific due to the idea that most of the time the singer can’t fit all the words in with a tune and keep the listeners interested.

A good read overall, and would possibly like to hear what it sounds like.  You’re very visual and that really came through making the piece flow with each image or thought that came up.  One tiny criticism, the last line in the stanza feels, to me, that it should be “All I did was be me.” Just a suggestion, but I like your piece overall awesome!  =]

Aman. It feels good to hear something positive and grateful. I like the refrain, “When I thought despite myself,” I enjoyed the poem. Positive enery. Good thinking.

This was a really powerful, and inspirational piece.  The last line, where you said, ” And if my life was to be swept away
        And the world never heard this song from me
        I know God heard it loud and clear” was absolutely beautiful.

You used great imagery throughout the piece, and you were very descriptive.
    

I didn’t really see anything that needed work.  You did a wonderful job.

I love this piece. I love the bridge..all I did was believe no matter what life dealth me. You painted your lyrics beautifully and I am able to see the birds, squirrel, and all the leaves. I would love to hear this with music.

That’s a very nice, clean Christian song. I just graduated Pepperdine where we went to Youth Ministry together and I can see this song being sung there. I like it because it’s very one-on-one with the Lord which is religion in a nutshell. “despite myself, God’s been good to me” is a great line.

This is awesome!  Thank you for sharing these wonderful lyrics…
‘I didn’t have to change the world
    Or be some special girl
    All I did was believe’
It brightened my day to remember…’despite myself GOD’S BEEN GOOD TO ME’

Good content.  Didn’t see any part that would qualify as a chorus.  To me it seems a little rough on flow but a good message to get across.  

I think these lyrics have a lot of potential. You might want to try fleshing it out though, because right now it’s really short. Other than that, good. I like the message you are portraying.

So, I guess this is as good a time as any to do you the favor too ;-)
You just reviewed me and I’ve been wanting to review this particular piece since yesterday, but kept getting called away. Now seemed as good a time as any.

Being a Christian woman (if you can believe that from my poem
about touching and calling someone to my bed) heheheh,
this poem resonated deeply for me personally.
I thought the last verse extremely powerful.
Actually, the last two.
Not just the message, but the compelling way your wrote it.

I really can’t find flaw in this work.
except maybe, I’m not sure what to make of “the smile in a squirrel’s eye.”
At first I didn’t care for it cause it takes you too far out of the poem.
but then when I re-read the line, I liked it a lot more for that same reason
because you are removed from the piece and seem to be looking down on the piece, and even down on the writer, from above somewhere
in “squirrel’s-eye-view” if you will permit me twisting the old phrase!
Also, perhaps a chorus… or is “God’s been good to me” the chorus?

Overall, I score this very high and would only like to hear it with the music.
If you are in the U.S., maybe sometime you can sing it for me over the phone.

Best
