I wrote this song for my Bible Study group at Del Oro Hills Community Church.  We were studying Genesis and studying the story of Abraham.  The text from Hebrews 11:5-6 sets the stage for the song.  Trusting in the Lord and God’s Word is paramount in our walk with Jesus.  This is a fun song to remind us of the…

This song was written back in Oceanside, CA when I was preaching on the Ten Commandments.  I wanted to express the idea that God is a jealous God and doesn’t like sharing our affections with anything or anyone else.  It’s interesting the number of times God uses the word “Adultery” to convey His dismay with the Hebrew people and their…

Back in 2016 I was on Sabbatical staying at a borrowed home on the coast of Oregon.  While I was there I was watching a Youtube of a sermon by Francis Chan.  In this message he shared a story about a young college girl that he noticed worshiping at the college services.  Each time he spoke at this college he…

Back in 1997 I was preparing a sermon series for Advent when I notice that Sarah, Elizabeth, and Mary were all told of their impending pregnancies by an Angel.  Sarah laughed when she heard the news. Elizabeth’s husband became mute until he named the child John.  And Mary was visited by Gabriel and became the most blessed woman of all…

This song was a surprise to me.  I was looking through my files looking for another song and I stumbled upon this one.  In truth I had forgotten it since I wrote it back in 2003.  It was a wonderful find.  The song clearly states that Jesus is the reason for the season.  Without Jesus, Christmas has very little meaning…

Here’s a song that came out of an idea of people finding themselves in the middle of the Christmas season but just not feeling it.  While everyone else seems to be having a great time you’re feeling left out. It can be very distressing feeling sad at Christmas time.  As  you seek the Lord I believe you will find that…

I wrote this song back in 1998.  This was just at the beginning of my focus on composing.  I wrote this for a Christmas program we did that year.  Lot’s of people travel to go home for Christmas. The song embodies the confession of a man who has allowed work to take him away from his wife and kids.  Coming…

In the year of 1999 I had come to a point in my life where I was deciding on new goals for my life.  I had dabbled in writing songs over the years prior but hadn’t worked at it seriously.  I decided it was time I worked at being a composer.  My first work was a Christmas musical.  Writing 7…

Over the years I’ve worked on creating songs based upon scripture. Stories, passages, paraphrased translations were are used to create these different songs.  I think having scripture put to song helps us in memorization.  I hope these songs can be used by many to learn each of these texts.  I have posted each of these songs individually on this web…

I was inspired to write a series of memory verses out in song to help my Bible Study to memorize each verse.  This is 5 in a series of 5.  They are short and sweet and to the point.  Hopefully each song will help the learner to memorize this passage John 13:25 NLT. Music Sheet: Your Love For One Another…

This album was put together out of songs that I’ve written throughout the years regarding prayer or are a prayer itself.  Multiple aspects of prayer are covered.  From realizing God’s power in our lives to the role of corporate prayer in praying for each other and Christ’s Kingdom.  I hope these songs encourage your prayer life and challenge you to…

This is a video reminding us of those who have given their lives for our country but have never been identified.  As a country we need to remember those who have sacrificed for our freedom. I have no copyright for this video. The Unknown On Youtube

This song was inspired by the story of the Prophet Elisha and his servant found in 2 Kings 6:8-23.  Here we find the servant in fear for his life when Elisha tells him to look again and prays for God to open his eyes.  In the answer to that prayer the servant sees an army of angelic soldiers with blazing…

Shrout, emerges as a timely and heartfelt response to this call within the Christian faith.  Designed to inspire, uplift, and challenge believers, this musical journey is…
