I wish I could write decent song lyrics. All mine seem to rhyme, and not in a good way...very cheesy..."day-way"..."light-right" etc.. I can create music, just not lyrics.
Here' s an example of outstanding lyricism by the greatness of Hillsong United's Joel Houston
Verse 1
In the shadows my spirit weak
Love broke the darkness and lifted me
And I know you'll never let me go
Verse 2
In the storm, in the raging sea
Love conquered the fear and delivered me
And I know you'll never let me go
Chorus
Oh love in the shadows
Be the light who leads me on
Your love I will follow
Be my guide, Your will be done
Oh Lord
Verse 3
In the arms of the one unseen
Love carried the cross that was meant for me
And I know you'll never let me go
Bridge
Oh love I surrender, now forever I'll belong
In the love of the Father, You are faithful, You are strong
So hold me now, hold me now, hold me now
Create in me a heart that's pure
Replace in me all that's not of You
And I know You'll never let me go, You'll never let me go
Verse 4
Now in this life as I walk these streets
Love open my eyes show me what You see
And I know I'll never let you go
