The Songs (Tag: original)

Walking Distance

For Father's Day 2013, I received the book, As I Knew Him, by Anne Serling. It is a moving tribute to her father, Rod Serling, whom I greatly admired.

Anne’s book addresses the deep grief she experienced following his death at the young age of 50. The book was the inspiration for this song, named after a classic Twilight Zone episode featuring Gig Young. The song speaks to the grief that all of us experience when we lose someone dear to us, and it offers a perspective that can calm our anxious spirit. I forwarded a copy of the song to Anne, who liked it very much. I hope you will too.

Spirits Rising

Spirits Rising

This song was written for a good friend who may launch a non-profit organization to provide free air transport for people who have serious medical issues. The song is about how a helping hand and caring friend can lift our fallen spirit to a place where we can live above our fears. Take a listen, then go pick someone up who has fallen.

What Would It Take

Think about all the churches...they are literally everywhere. But do our daily lives really show how we feel about the Lord...7 days a week? What would it take for us to truly show God how grateful we are for all He has done for us? This contemplative song will make you think, and it may just lead you to recommit your heart to the Lord.

JJ and his Sister Amber

I have a friend who has a special little boy nicknamed JJ. He attends a school for autistic children. JJ just loves this song, which expresses the anticipation and excitement that he felt when he received his first very own Bible.

You can be walking through a normal day, when suddenly you start thinking about heaven. That’s the time you want to lace up those flyin’ shoes!

Way Down Deep In Your Soul

This is the first song that Simeon and I worked on together and continues to be one of my favorites. This traditional gospel song talks about the goldmine that is hidden way down deep in our soul, and we find it when we discover Jesus!

Walkin' Where The Water Runs Deep

I love the story about when Jesus walked on the water and how He asked Peter to get out of the boat and walk too. It is easy to criticize Peter, but how would you or I react when we took that first step outside the boat?

Unbroken

Several years ago my wife and I experienced a heartbreak when our only daughter was lost due to a very premature birth. Years later I was able to write this song about how God can take the broken pieces of our heart and put it back together again.

Tiny Voices

Ever since I wrote 4000 Crosses, my heart and mind has been attuned to the plight of the helpless unborn children who are lost to abortion. If you listen hard enough, you can hear those tiny voices, and you will never be the same when you do.
