Many Christian hymns are written out of that persons experience,John Newton wrote Amazing Grace out of his experience,you just have to read his background to realise that. George Matheson the blind preacher wrote the words of,'O Love that wilt will not let me go', after being rejected by the one he loved.Most of the Psalms were written by David out of his experience ,we all have sung the 23rd Psalm. Kris Kristofferson tells of his experience in becoming a Christian,and out that experience he wrote a song called,''Why Me'' here are the words of that song.
'What have I ever done to deserve even one of the pleasures I've known ;
Tell me Lord what did I ever do that was worth loving you?or the kindness
You've shown.
If you think there's a way I can try to repay all I've taken from You; May be,
Lord, I can show someone else what I've been through myself on my way back
To You.
Lord help me Jesus,I've wasted it so, Help me,Jesus, I know what I am;
But now that I know that I've needed You so,help me,
Jesus,my soul's in your hands'
