I have written lyrics for a Christian hymn. A composer has written amazing music, and I want my words to be up to that standard. It has a very specific focus on Christ and his saving sacrifice. The words, obviously, have to match the meter. It might be that all I need is for someone to point out the weaknesses, repetitions, clarity, etc. If a person feels uncomfortable writing Christian music, then simply pointing out the weaknesses might be all I need.

Depending on your timeline, I'd be happy to take a look at the lyrics and see if there's anything I could do to help you before requiring you to commit any funds. I'm a Baptist, but I don't know if that makes me qualified to help you with your song. I certainly am a preferred freelancer and have done a lot of editing work in several genres. Depending on the size of the project, we might be able to go below $250. When a client posts a job with a minimum amount, Freelancers are not able to bid less than that. It's simply impossible the way that website is set up. Please feel free to examine my profile, and samples of my editing work in the portfolio section. Hope to hear from you soon. Regardless, I hope you have good results in your endeavor. Thank you.

Hello dennisstacey1, I would love to help you with your project. I am a Christian, poet, and musician, and I think it's wonderful you're creating music that glorifies the Lord. Let's discuss your project! I read music and sing a cappella (alto/second soprano) in worship, so four-part harmony is very familiar to me. While I don't compose music per se, I understand it extremely well and my knowledge of music would support my editing of your lyrics. I am a poet and author, with extensive experience editing poetry. I recently completed a poetry manuscript for a client and I am a staff member of a local magazine where I edit submissions, including poems. I'd love to combine these skills in helping you with your project. I can identify weak areas in your lyrics, including lack of clarity or too much repetition. I can also suggest stronger language or images, in keeping with the meter of the written music. How intensive the revision should be is totally up to you! We can discuss your expectations for the project. I'd also like to know your ideas regarding turn-around time. Please get in touch with any questions you may have! I look forward to working with you. Grace and peace, Abigail S.

Hi, I am Joshua, a Filipino Methodist, and it is my hope that my Wesleyan upbringing will certainly benefit your hymn-writing. I am currently a worship director for two local churches, which includes playing (and sometimes even teaching) hymns for all worship services, as well as being music coordinator for our church district. I am also a church songwriter, having written more than a dozen songs for choirs and church bands, and have produced three choral cantatas. Should you decide to work with me, I can accommodate video conferencing--I even have a synthesizer keyboard at hand if needed. I do hope for your favorable consideration!

Hi there! I'm a composer and singer-songwriter and I'd love to help you with your project. I've been writing music and lyrics for close to 7 years, as well as being involved in many vocal music groups. Being a classical vocalist and a composer, I have a strong understanding of poetic meter and prosody. I'm also a practicing Christian myself and I serve as music director at my church, so I'm not only comfortable with working on a hymn but I would take joy in doing so! I've set my fee at $250 before Freelancer's project fee, because of the length of the piece and level of completion it's already at. I'd love to work with you to make your words sparkle! All the best, Kylie Briggs

I have been a Musician (Pianist mostly) since I was 5. I studied Music in College and specifically studied composition. I also had several classes in hymnwriting and songwriting, and have been a church pianist for a few years( several genres in there as well). I see a couple places that you could improve your hymn. Adding a refrain, including pauses/rests, and bringing some clarity to syntax would, I think, improve the quality of your hymn overall. I look forward to working with you. Thank you in advance for your time. Will Friend

I have a very good sense of rhythm and rhyme, and, being Christian, what Christian lyrics call for. I gave myself 10 days to return the finished product, but I should finalize it before that. I have a pro-grade home studio that produces clean, finished files in all popular formats. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Sheri? / Dennis? (I am new to this platform), I was brought up singing every morning at a Christian school in UK, so am acquainted with the lingo(!) - but am no longer bound by strict adherence (I still love to bash out a hymn or carol at Christmas), nor deaf to possible inconsistencies (I will not be a sycophant, but I will be honest). I have an extensive vocab and an OCD level of care to typos and know what I don't like as much as what I do. My mother is a linguist who takes pride in her grammar, as do I. Pretty sure I could edit your lyrics and make them work to the tune. I have indicated 2 days as I expect to give you some creative input which you may want me to rejig - so a day back and forth. Having just read through (had not seen the pdf until after I wrote the above)... Can already see a few areas which I would focus on. Using "thus" twice in verse 3 stood out. Also there is something about the shift between present, conditional and passive tense throughout... which needs minor work. Plus the use of plurals which don't "quite" rhyme... Will elaborate if you give me the task. Its also 4am here so I can't knock out the tune on my guitar while the family sleeps(!) Cheers, Jimmy
