Just general feedback, not for listings.

This may sound cynical, but it's true...ignore all "song coaches". If they could write, they wouldn't be song coaches. Most of those people just recycle platitudes...for a fee.

If you think of a strong song idea, IT will tell you the direction it needs to go. If you need a bunch of different opinions, coaches, etc...you have a weak idea.

Wait until you have a strong one. One that can be developed without cliches. If you never get a strong one...you're not a writer.

While you're waiting for the idea, watch great movies, read
good books and listen to classic albums. That's how you water the soil of your muse.

I'm assuming this isn't for a pitch, I don't recall any "Christian" listings of late.

I'm not religious, lapsed Catholic, but as a piece of music it's nice. Sounds very proficiently produced. Is there a particular sound you're going for?

As and of itself it's lovely, personally I'd go the Phil Spector route for the last chorus (that's wall of sound, rather than being a gun touting lunatic). It would add a bit of variety and also give it a bit of "majesty", which is something I'd assume would be in the wheelhouse for Christian music.

This is also very good advice! Hone your craft, be inspired, practice, practice, practice. Write and record your bollocks off. That's how you get better.
