REP
This song was written in response to the argument that “I did it my way” is an appropriate epitaph to a life well spent. It wasn’t conceived as a direct response to the popular song, but rather a response to the popular, and all too prevalent thought, that a well spent life can be lived apart from the Life that is Gods gift to us in Christ Jesus, and [...]
You Came
I didn’t write this song with Christmas in mind, but it certainly celebrates the wonder and triumph of the incarnation, Gods blessed gift to us. Jesus Came for the lost.

With the advance of on-demand technology and accessibility to [...]
I Believe

James 1:2 NIV Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when ever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, [...]
