1.2 WHY SHOULD I BOTHER? WHY SHOULD I WRITE A SONG? OF WHAT BENEFIT IS IT? WHYYYYYYY?

This is a very valid question and answering it will provide the internal motivation to not just start to write these songs but also to complete the process.

To express in your own words, way and style your adoration, love for, and worship of your God
To birth the music that has been in your heart and spirit and make it tangible
To be fruitful and original - You are an original creation of God. There is only one you and no-one can be you as well as you. Therefore everything that

comes out of you based on the gifts/talents you have been endued with, is an original piece and a fruit from that seed.

To bless someone else
To leave a legacy for generations to come

To "trade" with the talent/ gift God has given you (like the parable of the talents)
To discover your own hidden depths
To generate a revenue stream eventually (you never can tell which of your songs will gain traction globally)
To die empty
