my latest projects these are the results of my latest projects:
rise up
Come up out of the valley from the darkest terrain; Come up out of the valley where the sadness remains.
Go on up to the mountain there are blue skies above! Go on up to the mountain there’s a whole lot of love.

worship: a life choice not just a song
“How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!...For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life for evermore” Psalm 133:1,3 (NIV)
The Samaritan Woman: “Oh, so you’re a prophet! Well, tell me this: Our ancestors worshipped God at this mountain, but you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place for worship, right?”
Jesus: ”Believe me woman, the time is coming when you Samaritans will worship the Father neither here at this mountain nor there in Jerusalem…The time is coming – it has, in fact come
– when what you’re called will not matter and where you go to worship will not matter. It’s who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit
in the pursuit of truth. That’s the kind of people the Father is looking out for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. God is sheer being itself – Spirit.
Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration.” John 4:19-24 (The Message)
“May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” Romans 15:5-6 (NIV)
“You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm…But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God.” Etc. Hebrews 12:18-22 (NIV)
How much do you think God wants to bless us as we gather together? I think EXTRAVAGANTLY!
How much do you want to bless God as we gather together? I hope the answer’s the same! If we’re united in our praise and adoration of God, then the place we gather could become a special place of blessing – not because of where the place is but because of where our hearts are at in that place!
songs Check out the link on the left for my Promotional CD "Lose Myself" featuring 16 of my songs.
You have my full permission to use any of my songs under the auspices of your church, and I pray that you will be blessed by the songs, and that your congregation will be blessed by any you should choose to teach.
All I ask you to do in return is to acknowledge the use of the relevant song(s) on your CCL (Church Copyright Licence) returns, and to report any further reproduction of the words and/or music under the heading of 'TYM Sheet Music' in the case of Kingsway songs. Thereby your use of the song will be covered under the terms of the
licence currently held by your church, at no extra cost to yourselves. Some songs are already published (Kingsway’s Thankyou Music) and should be listed accordingly; for any of the others you use please simply append the song title and my name as song-writer to the end of the list, including of course any names of co-writers if relevant.
NB the copyrights cover the songs as they were originally submitted for publication, so to alter the lyrical content compromises not only the song and the songwriter(s)
but also your legal position in using the songs!
