Wait on the Lord

I wrote this simple song today (actually yesterday now!) inspired by psalm 37. Through a difficult circumstance this week i felt God lead me to psalm 37 and i was greatly encouraged. The next day Don Clarke sent me an email with a verse from psalm 37 in!! I was even more encouraged and knew that God was speaking to me, that he knew about my circumstances and was helping posture me to face the situation.

jamming with Dante

While i was away on our trip to Ohio i made a new friend - Dante Salamone, we had great fun playing together, putting this new tune to an old hymn. Dante is 8 years old and has a real gift to play the drums and worship. Thanks Dante, it was so fun to meet you and Aidan and Mia... give my love to your Mom and Dad, keep on playing those drums!!

Thoughts about the gospel...

The Gospel is that everyone has the opportunity to become rich, not in worldly possessions but in relationship with Jesus, who takes away our sorrow, who heals our brokenness, restores us from bareness, banishes our loneliness, saves us from waywardness, destroys our sinfulness, who takes away our filthy rags, who washes us clean, who clothes us in righteousness, who sits us with princes, who raises us from death to life, to reign with Christ. The Gospel is liberating, it’s exhilarating, it is astounding in its breadth and depth, unbelievable to human minds, yet of supreme wisdom in its design, fulfilling every demand of righteousness. It reaches to the lowest hell and raises to the highest heaven, it saves and it snatches, it crushes and destroys, it’s life filled and it infuses.

He heals our brokenness,

restores us from bareness,

banishes our loneliness,

saves us from waywardness,

destroys our sinfulness,

rids us of our filthiness

Clothes us in His righteousness,

Raises us in Holiness

From death to life, to reign with Christ.

I can't last long without you

Written 6 months ago....

I can’t last long without you

I can’t last long without you

It doesn’t take long before I’ve fallen to my knees

People may say that’s a weak thing

But with you, the weak are made strong

It’s a good thing to be in need,

Coz that need, leads me to you

I’d rather be weak than to have no need of you

I’d rather lean heavy than be going my own way

I’d rather be in the dark with you as my lamp

Coz your light turns darkest night to day
