Dear Horseygal,

You may wish to consider Empire Music Company. Here is an excerpt from
their Website:

"Song lyrics and poems wanted for musical setting and recording. Song
demo recordings marketed to music publishers... We provide free song
lyric evaluations. E-mail them to: jstone3216@yahoo.com ...We
specialize in composing music and producing recordings for
songwriters. See what writers say about our work. We record Country,
Rock, Inspirational, Ballads and Easy Listening music. (We do not
record R&B or Rap.) ...If you do not write music, we can help. We will
compose the music for FREE. See the latest Publishing And Record Deals
our songs have obtained. You retain full ownership of your song. FREE
answers to your questions about songwriting or the music business by
email."

Although Empire does not deal only in Christian music, they do list
"Inspirational" music as one of the categories that they serve. A list
of songs which utilized Empire's assistance includes "God Bless the
Wise Men," "Peace at Christmas,"  "Apples of Gold," and "My Jesus."

I have also located a free online messageboard where songwriters can
meet to exchange information and encouragement. This board is
specifically oriented toward writers of Christian songs. There are
several posts on the forum seeking lyricists; perhaps you can find a
good match and be part of the next breakthrough Gospel songwriting
duo.

"Integrity Music:
This is your opportunity to discuss praise and worship with worship
leaders, songwriters, musicians, and worshipers from around the
world."

Google search strategy:

"song" + "write music"
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=song+%22write+music

I hope this will meet your need. If any part of my answer is unclear,
or if the links are non-functional, please do not hesitate to ask for
clarification.

Best wishes in your songwriting career!
