General idea:
Inspired by Psalm 23, I wanted to create a upbeat song that embodies the idea of conquering fear because God is always by our side. Currently it has a 4/4 signature in D major, the chords are 7 5 2 6(for the first part)then it changes for the next two parts. The structure that I'm currently going for is ABCDACE.
Some of the lyrics I have in mind are:
I fear sin in this world
I fear that evil will consume my brain
Facing life 
We’re breaking apart
We’re left crying and in pain

But God Almighty has a plan to fix
This wickedness in me
I no longer know the word fear as I walk through the darkest valley
Guide me towards the right paths
Protect us

Oh my Lord
Lay me down, refresh my soul in green pastures
Oh my Lord
Let me flow down the stream of quiet waters

Objectives for next class:
Add Vocals and more accompaniment(guitar/drums)

Sketch 1

My aim for this song is keep it as simplistic as possible. I tried adding drums and guitar beforehand but realized that it doesn't match the track, for the final edition I am planning to add more light toned instruments like the glockenspiel.
Structure of the song is still ABCDACE with D as an instrumental break. There will be a key change after D.
