What a great job these young people did using my song “Tender Mercy (Zechariah’s Song)” in a manner that I never imagined.

One more for Advent! Light One Candle To Watch For Messiah – An Advent Hymn
I have said it before and it bears repeating for this blog post that because I became a Christian just over 7 years ago, an “old Christian hymn” for me is anything off of Chris Tomlin’s Arriving. So, I am always greatly appreciative when a brother or sister who has been in the faith much […]
12 Songs For Advent
This season, I have become a lot more appreciative of the meaning of Advent and have searched out for relevant advent songs (and arrangements) to present to the church. Particularly, I have been focused on the concepts of light and of waiting. If you are a worship leader who has been struggling to do the […]
Introducing Tender Mercy (Zechariah’s Song): A Song For Advent
This song has appeared here before, but I am finally releasing the mastered studio version to the public… The story surrounding the song is basically this: my Pastor casually opined in a sermon: “Mary gets a ton of songs about her.

Jesus Culture’s “I Am In Love With You” or Why We Have To Be Careful As Worship Songwriters
I start with a testimony on God’s sense of humor. As a new Christian some 7 or so years ago put in position of leading worship at my church, I found myself disliking worship songs with excessively “lovey-dovey” lyrics for God. Particularly, I was dismissive of those worship songs that became comedic fodder for the […]
