“Use the words ‘I’ or ‘me’ at least 12-15 times”

Stephen Altrogge on how to write an awful worship song:

The main point of your song should be your experiences and how God makes you feel. Don’t bother with objective truth about God. I would suggest that you use the words “I” or “me” at least 12-15 times. For example, “I feel like singing, yes I feel like spinning, because You make me feel so good inside. Like it’s my birthday, but more awesome.”

More advice here.
