In the dark of night I pray To see the moon shine through Tear the veil of fear away And I will follow You Sin and shame are clouds that hide The light of Love and Truth Mercy melts the mask of Pride So I will follow You I remember how You saved…

Just a first run demo of a song. Apologies in advance :)

During a practice on Wednesday, our church's Bluegrass Gospel band suggested I bring one of my original songs on Sunday morning and teach it to them for that day's worship service. So I decided to write a song based on this week's lectionary…

A song for a friend who just passed away. He was the first person to take one of my songs and make it sound like a "real" song! He was a professional musician with a big heart and smile to match. Something amazing is that the morning after I…

A "Golden Oldie" I wrote but was never able to share until now because I couldn't create the right atmosphere with just me and Amy. So I got the other musicians in church to join in, and we had a blast. Check out the video below and you'll see…

This was based on a reading from Ephesians. The take is from our final practice. I have the actual presentation on video below. I like this take a little better, because it feels mellower. "Live In Love" Therefore, let us speak the truth and…

Every 3 years, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) asks teens from across the country to meet up in a city to worship, fellowship, learn, and serve. This year, it was New Orleans. 33000 youth gathered together to demonstrate God…

from a benefit concert back in May. "whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst;" John 4:14

This is from a church service a few weeks ago. Wanted to try something new with it, so got some guys together and asked for a "Cowboy Junkies" vibe. Although we thought we got it better in rehearsal (is that often the case?), this at least captures…

I wrote this for Amy to sing at a benefit concert for a church member. It's bascially about how the music of angels (Earthly and Heavenly)helps us through this difficult journey. There are a few bumps on this one, since she had to learn it in…

Got our church's mandolin player to sit in with us.

Sorry for the quality - just a rehearsal recording I needed to share with some folks who will be playing with me on Sunday. This is fun - actually have real musicians to play with!

A song I wrote based on my trips to Oahu, driving up the H3, through the tunnels, and seeing the spectacular mountains and beaches on the Windward side. Got my daughter to sing with me so that Amy would be freed up to do a hula.

This is the first song of our set from a benefit concert we participated in back in April. It's a classic hymn, one of my favorites, written by Henry Richard McFayden. I also have a video for this.

a simple Mother's Day song. I think of moms as Prayer Warriors - always pleading for our protection and success, never giving up on us, even when we stray. Aloha, moms!

"Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning?" Isaiah 40:21

I thought I was going to have us record a cleaner version of this - this is a live take from a Christmas service. I wrote a song to tag along after the end of one my favorite songs ever, The Star Carol. Today's endless streaming of snow, still…

A simple song I had to whip up last night at 11pm and get Amy to record at 11:30pm because I needed something to go with a Mission Trip video we were showing in church this morning!

"O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Let the redeemed of the LORD say so" Psalm 107:1-2

The story of Elisha and Elijah. We sang this in church this morning. We got my daughter to play a clarinet solo for it. She's only been playing for 5 months, so we're really proud of her and excited to have one more way to "color" our music.
