Trying to have some fun!!

I am working on writing my first real song. So, I wrote down some words....see below. Now I need to find a melody that goes with it..do you think it's an upbeat or slow sort of song?  I wrote it kind of quickly and I didn't have a real idea of a theme..so, it just fell this way. As I read it, it almost sounds like a country song. But, those that know me know that it WILL NOT be a country song. Any thoughts?

 

Written by Mike Taggart

 

rigid on the outside

standing firm and tall

got it all together

nothing bothers me at all

 

immune to the problems

that all the others get

I haven't seen an issue

that i can't deal with yet

 

That's the outside

no it's not me

That's the outside

what the world tells me to be

 

I want to lose this world it looks out for itself

the hidden pain I have can't be kept to myself

The real me has got to be free but I am bound and at war

I didn't know I didn't have, I couldn't see and fell way short

Little did I know that's where I had to be -

looking up to heaven from down here on my knees

Jesus is everything

Jesus is my freedom

Jesus is my all

Jesus is.

 

a slave to my savior

on my knees I submit my will

finally tasting freedom

I am quiet and I'm still

 

confessing all the problems

that consumed my unknown heart

all my issues seem so small

thanks to You and my brand new start

 

This is the inside

yes it is me

what's on the inside

has truly made me free

 

I want to quit this world it looks out for itself

the pain I have can't be kept to myself

The real me has got to be free right now I am bound and at war

I didn't know I didn't have, I couldn't see and fell way short

Little did I know that's where I had to be -

looking up to heaven from  down here on my knees

Jesus is everything

Jesus is my freedom

Jesus is my all

Jesus is.
