Coming soon to a couch near you! We’ve been booking some intimate home shows in the Portland area this summer and are looking for some more homes to invade. So if you would like to host an Acoustic Living Room Concert please let us know!
Starting (Live at the Stewart Wedding)
Here’s a little live video of me singing my song, “Starting”, as the backdrop to a slide show at our friends’ Travis and Mary’s wedding celebration on October 10, 2009. This song tells the story of how my wife and I first met and started our new life together and is a similar parallel to Travis and Mary’s story as well so they asked me to sing it at their wedding. Congratulations you two! So happy for you both! May God lead you as you start your new life together!
This song appears on my CD “Looking Up At The Same Star” available on iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby, and elsewhere: Looking Up At the Same Star
Lyrics
Starting
The first time that I heard your voice
My heart took a leap for joy
I heard in those first tentative words you spoke
The sound of your soul sing to mine
And then you agreed to meet with me
We laughed and played cards over coffee
Then down to the riverside park we drove
Where we walked our hands entwined
Starting
We are starting a new life together
Facing
We are facing toward forever
One step at a time
And though only a month or less had passed
Since we had first met at last
Seemed a hasty surprise seen through other’s eyes
Just the slow perfect peace of His time
So we retraced our steps where our hearts first spoke
To the old park bench where our love awoke
And we worshiped awhile ’til I sang you your song
On one knee, “Would you be my wife?”
Starting
We are starting a new life together
Facing
We are facing toward forever
As we tread the steps of this dance
Swirling with sweet romance
Never looking down or letting go
I’ll hold you close
One step at a time
We are walking out this new life
So whatever God has joined
Let no one pull apart
Matthew 19:4-6
