I Know You Will
Twelfth track from 2018 release, PRAY
I Know You Will
I've prayed and asked You for answers
To guide my life
I've prayed and laid down my burdens
Anger and strife
I've prayed for king and for country
You'd bring us peace
I've prayed for Church and for leaders
And the least of these
Weights and the sin in my life
Far as East from West
All those suffering ones
That they would be blessed
You can fix this mess
Bring in all the rest and heal them
I have asked these things in Your son's name
And I know you will
Your word says You are the answer
Truth, Life and Way
Your mercy's new every morning
Break of the day
In You I find all the answers
Your will be done
I fight the wars in my life but
The battle is won
Weights and the sin in my life
Far as East from West
All those suffering ones
That they would be blessed
You can fix this mess
Bring in all the rest and heal them
I have asked these things in Your son's name
And I know you will
Weights and the sin in my life
Far as East from West
All those suffering ones
That they would be blessed
You can fix this mess
Bring in all the rest and heal them
I have asked these things in Your son's name
And I know you will
I have prayed in Jesus' name and I know you will

Can't Wait To Hear From You
Eleventh track from 2018 release, PRAY
Can't Wait To Hear From You
I've come into Your presence
I've told you my desires
I've let down my defenses
I've come to lift Your name up higher
I've felt You touch my spirit
And known Your healing touch
So now I long to hear it
A word from You would mean so much
In the silence of this moment
I've said all I have to say
Anticipation's potent
I want to hear your voice today
Can't wait to hear from You
This is what I've been seeking
To spark a broken fire
I'll set aside my speaking
And wait to hear what You require
The spark grows to an ember
The ember grows to a light
Light is what I remember
Driving darkness back in fright
That light brings back the fire
And drives back all my fear
I'd love Your voice inspiring
I've known, I've felt I want to hear
In the silence of this moment
I've said all I have to say
Anticipation's potent
I want to hear your voice today
Can't wait to hear from You

What You've Said
Come to me who are heavy laden
I' ll give you rest
I'll never leave you nor forsake
You will be blessed
In my Father's house are many mansions
I go to prepare a place for you
These words are what You have said
I stand on Your promises given
The words You've said can never fail
For you are God and not man
Ask and it shall be given to you
Seek and you'll find
Knock and it shall be opened to
You, you are mine.
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you
Your heart won't be troubled or afraid
These words are what You have said
I stand on Your promises given
The words You've said can never fail
For you are God and not man
Surely He has borne all our burdens
and carried our sorrows and pain
But He was pierced for our rebellion
And He was bruised for our sins
By His stripes we are healed

A Heart Of Thanks
Seventh track from 2018 release, PRAY
A Heart Of Thanks
I wake up in the morning Thank you Jesus on my lips
Then I get my morning coffee and I take a couple sips
Sit down to read my Bible before I hit the door
and I count up all the things in life that I am thankful for.
Thank you Lord you have given me
A tender heart a heart for Your ministry
A heart that loves but most importantly
I have Your gift of a heart of thanks.
And when I'm feeling happy, You are the joy in my life
and when I'm feeling sorrow, I'm thankful then too.
There is no storm I can't face, there's no battle or strife
No weapon formed against me, cause my faith will be found in You
Though I've not much in this world, there's much I'm thankful for
I'm thankful for the clothes I have a roof over my head
I'm thankful for good food and drink a place to lay my head
I'm thankful for the friends I have I love them all so dear
I'm thankful for the Word of God that tells me, “Do not fear.”
I'm thankful for my family, in blood and in the Church
I'm thankful I'm a child of Yours, and that I have great worth
I'm thankful for the blood you shed and thankful for Your loss
When you took my sins to Calvary and bore them on the cross
Thank you Lord for you have given me
A tender heart a heart for Your ministry
A heart that loves but most importantly
I have Your gift of a heart of thanks.
And when I'm feeling happy, You are the joy in my life
and when I'm feeling sorrow, I'm thankful then too.
There is no storm I can't face, there is no battle or strife
No weapon formed against me, cause my faith will be found in You
I will rejoice in all things my prayers won't cease
I will give thanks in all things, and that's Your plan for me
I'll lay down in my bed tonight thankful for the peace
Thankful for the blood You shed on Calvary for me
Thankful that You called me as a soldier in Your ranks
Thankful most of all Lord that I've got a heart of thanks

Hello
Fourth track from 2018 release, PRAY
Hello
The wonders of Your love for me
I could fall a thousand times
You would place me back on my feet
And never ask the question, Why?
Hello, I know You love me
Although I've fallen once again?
Hello, I know that I was weak
But in my weakness You show me Your strength
I fall down to my knees to repent...and say Hello
I will crucify this sin in me
I will confess my emptiness
Knowing You are just to forgive me
And fill my heart with love again.
Hello, I know You love me
Although I've fallen once again?
Hello, I know that I was weak
But in my weakness You show me Your strength
I fall down to my knees to repent...and say Hello
If I loved You, I'd obey your word to me
If I loved You, I wouldn't fall that way
But I long to feel the warmth of Your embrace again
So I find myself in tears upon my knees
Hello, I know You love me
Although I've fallen once again?
Hello, I know that I was weak
But in my weakness You show me Your strength
I fall down to my knees to repent...and say

Release
Third track from 2018 release, PRAY
Release
I've been wronged
and the anger builds within me
Consuming all my time
There's no song
only stress and bitterness
Are looping in my mind
Lord, you know what she said!
I can't believe he did that to me!
Why can't they just leave it well enough alone
What do they want from me anyway?
I'm in need of release
Got to set my mind at ease
When I let it all go
The one who's been set free is me
I forgive
and the anger is released
Letting go of my pain
Now I live
and the stress and all of my bitterness
Are gone in Jesus' name
But Lord! I've got that job to do
And they're asking me to work at the Church
Where am I gonna find the time to do all this?
What do they want from me anyway?
Forbear one another.
Forgive one another.
If you have a quarrel against any
As Christ forgave you, so should you forgive.

Thy Will
Fifth track from 2018 release, PRAY
Thy Will
I've got a need I've got desires
I'd like to see how things run
I wanta know I need to go
Just can't see how this gets done.
The prayer that never fails, “Thy will be done”
Is just the thing to fit the bill
Since You are God above and You have a plan
I humbly submit to Thy will
I've got a friend Who's got a need
I'd like to see them get healed
But if they're healed and they're not won
We won't see your purpose revealed
CH
I know the thoughts You have for me
Are for my peace and for my good.
The end of life, my destiny
Is so clearly understood
So I've got a need I've got desires
But I don't need You to show
I'll lay it all into Your plan
Cause this is what I've come to know
CH
I humbly submit to Thy will

Battles Of The Heart
Fifth track from the 2016 EP Now I Understand
Battles Of The Heart
In dark the demons gather to drums that shout for war
Readying their vile assault upon our temple's door
But even as the drums are calling legions up from hell
They also call the saints of God to battle just as well
Upon the walls of fortress Christ the army of the Lord
Stands ready for the enemy with banner, shield, and sword
Filled with courage and resolve, prepared to give our all
We know reluctant warriors are always first to fall
Up from the gloom the enemies come with standards black as night
We say a prayer for victory then leap into the fight
All night and day through the next the battle rages on
Many times we drive them back but still they won't be gone
They slash at us with weapons dipped in envy, greed and hate
As grimly we keep fighting on steadfastly tempting fate
But weariness is setting in the fighting takes its toll
A breach is made inside the wall we cannot plug the hole.
And even now the enemy is beating down the door
They've come to take us prisoner to hell forevermore
Suddenly from up above a mighty trumpet sounds
With fear and loathing in their eyes the foe starts giving ground
Shouts of triumph fill the air as we look toward the sky
In answer to our victory prayer the Lord of hosts arrives
He brings us reinforcements of love and truth and light
The brilliance of his righteousness stands framed against the night
The enemy in terror runs against Him they can't stand
They flee the Lord in disarray our victory's at hand
God again has brought us peace His walls we will rebuild
We'll go on and live our lives for now the drums are stilled
Out there in the darkness his course does Satan plot
But the Lord stands ready for other battles of the heart.

To My Wife

To My Wife
I met a girl I couldn't live without
I knew in my heart there was no doubt
I confessed my love for her
Then one day out of the blue, when I said it
She said, "I love you, too."
I can't believe you promised to be mine
So I told you I would give you all my life
I will love you for the rest of all time
You're my best friend, you're my love and you're my wife
The roads that we've been down have been quite long
Through the potholes and the flat tires we've grown strong
The miles can be quite fun or the miles can be quite long
Doesn't matter if we don't walk these roads apart
I can't believe you promised to be mine
So I told you I would give you all my life
I will love you for the rest of all time
You're my best friend, you're my love and you're my wife
Through all the things that we've been through
There's one thing I know you'll do
It's stand right by my side
I can't believe you promised to be mine
So I promised I would give you all my life
I will love you for the rest of all time
You're my best friend, you're my love and you're my wife
You're my best friend, you're my love, you're my wife.

Your Love Is All That I Need
Second track from 2016 EP Now I Understand
Your Love Is All That I Need
You're always with me through the hard times in life
You always spark my fire
And when I'm flying on the peaks of my dreams
You push me ever higher
When I am up Your love is guiding my path
I'm in amazing light
I can't stay down You guide my every day
And dark and stormy night
Through all the highs and the lows and all the inbetweens
Your love is all that I need
I know that nothing in creation can break
The love You have for me
Not height, or depth, or life, or death separate
Unconditionally
Through all the highs and the lows and all the inbetweens
And when I go the wrong way You show Your love for me
Your love will not let me down and is my everything
Your love is all that I need and that will never, ever STOP!
When I am facing something in front of me
In comes the slaughterer
Because You love me I'm in sweet victory
More than a conquerer
CHORUS
Your love is all that, Your love is all that
Your love is all that I need
Your love is all that, Your love is all that
Your love is all that I need
Through all the highs and the lows and the inbetweens
Your love is all that I need

Now I Understand
First (Title) track from Now I Understand
When I was alone in here, trapped with all my doubt and fear
I lived a life of torment and despair
Never thought I would awake from a nightmare that I couldn't shake
Though I tried it all seemed so unfair
I was trapped inside my mind, Couldn't speak, I was so blind
Couldn't see it, I cant understand
Muddy thoughts that I would make, self-delusion that I wasn't fake
So I lied to keep my thoughts in hand
Mass confusion all around, can't see up don't know what's down
Muddled up the thoughts inside my brain
Tried to wrestle with myself, but found I must be someone else
Batty, crazy, mad, nuts, or insane
Someone spoke a word so real
The way, the truth, the life revealed
When Your light shined in my heart
A light that flushed out all the dark
Now I think I finally understand
Oh Yeah! Oh my Jesus! Hallelujah.
Come on, come on, come on, come on. Yeah
So many nights alone that I have cried
From my fear and my pride
Lost alone and oh so scared.
Never knew I was prepared
Then You wiped away all my tears
Calmed my nerves and all my fears
You gently led me by the hand
And now I understand
Oh my Jesus
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
You were the one who came along my side
Never left me, never lied
Pulled me from the depths of sin
When you came to live within
Now You wipe away my tears
Calm my nerves and all my fears
You gently lead my by the hand
And now I understand
I'm not the man I was before
Your love gave me an open door
And when my knees fell on the floor
You broke of my chains.
Now I live inside Your love
Your Spirit flowing from above
Descending on me like a dove
Now I'm born again
Now I understand
Now I understand
For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

He Already Did
Fifth track from my 2015 EP, Suddenly He Turned
He Already Did
You're feeling discouraged with fear and disaster
You feel like you cannot go on
You've fallen so low now you can't face the Master
Here's something you should think upon
If you are facing a trial or temptation
A pain that cannot be hid
Remember, He already did
He was tempted and tried on every side
He suffered and died on Mount Calvary
He overcame bitterness, anger, and pride
And He did it all for you and me
Remember you're purchased, bought with a price
There's nothing that can change that bid
So if you are hoping someone's paid your price
Remember, He already did
He's standing with arms wide open
Confess it and He will forgive
He's everything you have been hoping
Just die to yourself and you'll live
He died to show us a type of repentance
His burial says be baptized
And when He arose meant new life and acceptance
Is yours for the rest of your life
If you think you are not worth the bother
Heaven is not what you'll get
That no no one would plead your case to the Father
Remember, He already did
He was tempted and tried on every side
He suffered and died on Mount Calvary
He overcame bitterness, anger, and pride
And He did it all for you and me
Remember you're purchased. Bought with a price
There's nothing that can change that bid
So if you're hoping someone's paid your price
Remember, He already did
Remember, He already did
So if you're hoping someone's paid your price
Remember, He already did

Suddenly He Turned
Fourth track from my 2015 EP Holding On To Jesus
Suddenly He Turned
He came out toward the army
But even as he ran
The Lord was present in His mind
And helped him for a plan
The other came in arrogance
His danger not discerned
When all at once the shepherd stopped
And suddenly he turned.
He smote the giant with a sling
And slew him with a sword
He stood in faith for all to see
The power of the Lord
So if you drive your fears ahead
Be weary lest they turn
And catch you coming unawares
And find you unconcerned
There's devastation in surprise
When meant to do you harm
So be prepared if fear should turn
Be in the Spirit armed
Our victory's in Jesus
If we're prepared to fight
If we're prepared to face our dread
And face the devil's might
The same for those who flee the world
Our faith should make us strong
And if we choose to face our fears
They cannot stand for long
So stand in faith and fortitude
Be smart, be strong, be stern
Goliath had his victory won
Until the shepherd turned
He smote the giant with his sling
Then slew him with a sword
He stood in faith for all to see
The power of the Lord

Questions
Third song from my 2015 EP Holding On To Jesus
Questions
Once there was a man who died for us
Laid down His life that we might have a life that's free from death and sin
He died for us, can we live for Him?
He bore the pain, He bore the shame, He was crucified.
That we might be healed by the stripes that He did bear
He died for us, can we be his heir?
What was there about the man named Jesus?
Who lived His life to offer us the way?
Was it foolishness to offer up Himself as sacrifice?
Or was it love for us that made Him pay that day?
Consider it a goal to learn from Him.
To give yourself unselfishly so others might see Him through you.
Can they see Him in what you do?
The time is near when He will come.
He comes for those who've lived their lives as He had lived
Will you be found live in this world, or dead in Him?
What was there about the man named Jesus?
Who lived His life to offer us the way?
Was it foolishness to offer up Himself as sacrifice?
Or was it love for us that made Him pay that day?
What was there about the man named Jesus?
Who lived His life to offer us the way?
Was it foolishness to offer up Himself as sacrifice?
Or was it love for us that made Him pay that day?
It was love for us that made Him die that day.
Once there was a man who died for you
Laid down His life that you might have a life of death and sin
He died for you, will you live for Him?

Thank You Jesus
Second song from my 2015 release, Holding On To Jesus
Thank You Jesus
When I wake up in the morning and my two feet hit the floor
Before I plan a hundred projects and I head on out that door
There is one thing I should say, take the time to stop and pray
Thank You, Jesus
Thank You Jesus for the breath I have to breathe
Thank You Jesus 'cause You died to set me free
Jesus lead me in Your way as I go through another day
Thank You, Jesus
In the middle of my running as I earn my daily bread
And the problems of this hard life are like bees around my head
There is one thing I should say, take the time to stop and pray
Thank You, Jesus
Thank You Jesus for the strength so I can work
Thank You Jesus 'cause Your stripes have stopped my hurt
Jesus lead me in Your way, as I go through another day
Thank You, Jesus
Our tomorrows may not last
We cannot live in our past
We need to know for sure
It's not this life we're living for.
As I lay down in the evening and my day has been a bother
I just pray the things I've finished will give glory to You, Father
There is one thing I will say, I'll take the time to stop and pray
Thank You, Jesus
Thank You, Jesus for Your peace so I can rest
Thank You, Jesus Your Spirit is a sweet caress
Jesus lead me in Your way, as I finish another day
And Thank You, Jesus
Thank You, Jesus, I love You for all to see
Thank You, Jesus, but it's because You first loved me.
Jesus lead me in Your way, tomorrow is a brand new day
Thank You, Jesus

Holding On To Jesus
First (title) track from Holding On To Jesus EP
C - When you've had all you can handle and your world has come undone
H - When you're feeling like there's no place left to run
O - When you're at the very end and there's nothing to cling to
R - Remember holding on to Jesus is all you need to do
U - Holding on to Jesus is all you need to do
Angry and tired, hungry and alone. You're feeling like all your hope is gone
You've travelled down this pathway at least a hundred times, and you've had it with this failure road you're on.
You must be bold and not be timid, reveal your struggles to a friend.
Resist the devil and that dark one has to flee.
CHORUS
We are not clueless of his devices. We must not let him gain control
He who endures until the very end receives a crown and saves his soul.
CHORUS
