Hi everyone, I am new here. The forum looks great, what I have always wanted.
Right now anyway, my burden is going forward. I am fixed, stagnant. I have so many lyrics that are unpublished or performed. I want to move forward.
My genre is gospel/christian songs, at least for now. I want to be directed to websites that accept gospel/christian lyrics that they would convert to demos. The ones that doesn't charge fees, I can't foot such bills now.
I am simply a lyricist, not a composer or music engineer, but my lyrics are original, unique and great.
If you know of any please reply this post. OK... Love being here already! Hoping to hear from you. Thanks.

I am afraid this just isn’t really an option
Why would someone convert your lyrics to a demo (write a melody, come up with an arrangement, record a demo, mix and master) without charging a fee for doing this?
I also think the days of submitting lyrics to publishers are gone as everybody is looking fully fledged songs, which already sound “radio ready” - ie everything (writing, recording, mixing and mastering is good enough for it to go straight on the radio)
If you are unable/unwilling to pay someone to put a demo together for you then I think your only feasible option, and best way forward, is to find a like minded collaborator that can write and record the music to go with your lyrics
You could try posting some lyrics in the collaborations section of this website to see if anyone is interested
Good luck
