0 Started Work on New Worship CD

20150807_150621

Well we finally did it and “broke ground” so to speak on the new worship project this morning! I am so excited to be working with my good friend Tim Miller on bringing these songs to life for the church to sing! For those who might not know Tim, he helped record and produce our church’s worship CD Athey Creek Christian Fellowship “Light”, and has been helping with the audio ministry at Athey Creek for many years. The goal of this project is to bring some of the original worship songs I’ve written over the years to the church in a congregational friendly way. We want people to be able to sing along with these songs and enter into the throne room with praise and thanksgiving! We are still finalizing which songs will be used and haven’t determined a title for the project yet; although, we are kicking around some ideas.

This morning we laid down scratch tracks for the following songs which you can find in my Worship Playlist on my YouTube channel:

Show Us Your Ways
I Will Sing of the Lord’s Great Love
Lord We Need You Now
Come to the Table
Psalm 5 (Sing for Joy)
In Heaven
Psalm 29 (Ascribe to the Lord)

I will keep you posted on progress as well as post some behind the scenes and in the studio footage when we get a chance to put some together. We would appreciate your prayers for this project that it would remain focused on bringing glory to God and that these songs would help lead others into worship.

0 New Single “Green (Live at Insomnia)”

Green (Live at Insomnia)

Release Date: July 31, 2015

We haven’t had the chance to get a good full-length live recording in awhile, so here is a live single of my song, “Green” from my CD Don’t Look Back. This song was recorded live 5 years ago on this same day, July 31, 2010 at Insomnia Coffee. I was joined by two of my good friends who accompanied me during the concert: Nick Garrett-Powell on lead guitar (he’s playing an acoustic run through some effects pedals), and Tanner Johnson on violin. Fans of the Dave Matthews Band will recognize some influence in this song.

Grass is greener on the other side
So they say, so they say, but I don’t trust it
Maybe if you’re looking through green glass
But flowers pass, they fade away before you know it
The moments all just fly by so fast
And then they’re gone away

Lyrics

Green

Been flirting with disaster
Skirting little too close to the edge
Foolish things I’ve been chasing after
Have gone and placed the noose ’round my head
Thought they’d bring me pleasure
But I’ve found out to my discontent
That satisfaction comes in equal measure
With guilt and shame and death in the end

Grass is greener on the other side
So they say, so they say, but I don’t trust it
Maybe if you’re looking through green glass
But flowers pass, they fade away before you know it
The moments all just fly by so fast
And then they’re gone away

Been looking for some greener pasture
Like a wandering sheep, from your side I’ve strayed
But withered grass is poor cure
For this longing ache, your love I crave
Still my eyes are green with envy
For I’ve seen the riches of wicked men
Flourish like green trees in summer’s safety
Though they’ll perish come winter’s wind

No, the things of this world
Can’t take them with you, they won’t last
Just persevere under trial, stand fast
And you’ll wear a crown of life

James 1:9-15; Psalm 23; 37:1-13,35-36; 49:16-17; 119:37,176
