Amongst Christians, the hardest person to forgive, is usually yourself. My favorite pastor Wayne Brown once told me, after I was questioning my being genuinely saved, he said... " What, you don't think the first time took?"

Psalm 31 is characterized by an exhaustion and a sense of "brokenness," as the writer feels like a "forgotten vessel" besieged by enemies and sorrow. It resolves into a state of steadfast courage, finding a hidden refuge in God's presence that remains untouched by the storms of life. The "Book of Psalms: Back to Songs" project is a creative endeavor to restore the original spirit of the #psalms - as songs of worship, lament, praise, and reflection-by transforming them back into musical form, as many were written. Drawing from modern translations of the classic biblical texts, this project reimagines the Psalms with fresh musical arrangements that blend timeless messages with modern sounds. Each Psalm is thoughtfully adapted into lyrical and melodic compositions, many using modern tools, to explore harmonies, instrumentation, and genre-blending arrangements. From soulful acoustic ballads and rock/pop hymns to country pieces and R&B-inspired tunes, the project seeks to make the Psalms accessible and resonate with today’s listeners, while staying true to their emotional and spiritual depth.

The beauty of simplicity. There is a God. There is gravity. There are the Laws of Physics. And one plus one will always equal two.

This song is about the last day of Christ's ministry, and His life. It's about what He suffered, and what He gave ... for you ... and for me.

This is an upbeat anthemic song declaring thanks to God for not only the good things, but for the hard things and the future gifts He will bring. With a primary focus on 1 Thessalonians 5:18 to give thanks to God in all circumstances because that is part of the will of God for us, this song will have you dancing around and singing, "𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪, 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪, 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪, 𝙂𝙤𝙙" as you overflow with gratitude to God throughout your day!

This song was years in the making. Thomas Roy "Suicide Tom" Watkins died from Congestive Heart Failure in the early morning hours of April 1, 2003, just 6 days shy of his 45th birthday. He lived in Watsonville, California, and I lived in Capitola. I ran a karaoke show around Santa Cruz County, and Tom set up the shows for me. He got his nickname by letting the karaoke DJs pick his songs. He did songs like “Barbie Girl” and “Man I Feel Like A Woman”, and people loved it. Imagine hearing the man in the image on the screen singing “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”. He brought life to every show. And then, he got sick. I wasn’t familiar with the symptoms of Congestive Heart Failure back then, but I knew he wasn’t simply suffering from a flu. So On March 21, 2003, a buddy and I took Tom to the ER at Dominican Hospital. The doctor had an x-ray and EKG done, and told Tom his heart was enlarged. Tom told him that enlarged hearts ran in his family. I now know that Congestive Heart Failure can be diagnosed with x-rays and EKGs, because my mother had it, and as her care giver, I was with her when they told her about that, and about her A Fib, and Coronary Artery Disease. But Tom’s doctor said nothing about Congestive Heart Failure. He stuck to the enlarged heart narrative - which was deceptive, since the autopsy showed that his heart was two and a half times the size of a normal heart. But then, Tom didn’t have insurance; so he was turned away in his hour of need. Ten days later, he was dead, and he didn’t have to be. He could have been saved, if only for a short time. And this was a Catholic hospital letting that man go to his death. Of course, the doctor may not have shared that ideology. Either way, even though they swept it under the carpet, and never answered for this crime, they still have to face the ultimate judge. They can’t hide from Him.

About the Song: The Journey on the Ark is a song about caring and loving in a deeper way — more than simply sharing life with someone. It is about loving enough to desire that the souls of those we cherish become our companions on life’s journey. The Ark in the song symbolizes the boat of grace of our Lord Jesus Christ — just as Noah’s Ark was salvation for a few from the waters of judgment. It represents protection, direction, and eternal security. The song is both an invitation and a declaration of love. It is the invitation of someone who longs to walk through life together — and also the invitation of the Bridegroom who calls His bride to journey with Him into eternity. “Join me on the journey on the ark” is therefore more than a romantic phrase. It is a spiritual call — to share not only life, but salvation and hope in the Hereafter.

Psalm 27 shines with fearless confidence, declaring bold trust in God as light and salvation even when enemies gather close. Its emotion moves between courageous hope and tender longing, yearning to dwell in God’s presence while waiting patiently for His deliverance.

I wrote this song for the young women (and men) that I've known throughout my life, who felt like they didn't matter, that they had no purpose. Not all of them survived their depression. Some have left this world, but some are still with us, having had their own "come to Jesus" moments, as I did. Having been on the edge myself, wondering if the cliff was high enough to end my suffering, or low enough to cause more, I know how it feels to see yourself as invisible and purposeless. God took that away from me, and gave me a reason to believe in Him, and in myself.

Through the power of God, anything is possible. You only need faith to rise above this earthly chaos, and touch grace.
