There's a little church on a small green hill somewhere in Italy Whose stones have been worn down through many years And there's a little man and he's all alone, but he's happy as can be And as he's sweepin' off the steps his voice rings clear Lord when I am empty, your Spirit fills me up And every time I fall you do forgive You've mended every hole the world has cut into my heart And in your love I breathe and move and live I have this treasure in jars of clay This light outshining the brightest day His face is smiling through every part This broken vessel carries his heart I see a crying man in this empty church, and he's kneeling at the cross And his will has been worn down by many tears All his hopes and dreams have been crushed, it seems, by all the things he's lost And his whispered prayers float up and disappear He says Lord when I am empty, your Spirit fills me up And every time I fall you do forgive You've mended every hole the world has cut into my heart And in your love I breathe and move and live I have this treasure in jars of clay This light outshining the brightest day His face is smiling through every part This broken vessel carries his heart I'm a little man in a great big world, so full of faith and fear And this life is wearing down on me with time But as I sit and dream by these faithful streams, the quiet draws me near And somehow I find the strength to make the climb Lord when I am empty, your Spirit fills me up And every time I fall you do forgive You've mended every hole the world has cut into my heart And in your love I breathe and move and live I have this treasure in jars of clay This light outshining the brightest day His face is smiling through every part This broken vessel carries his heart

I have seen, I have faced the rod The holy wrath of God Upon my heart, and I am dark and cold I am scorned, and turned away To walk in darkness deep Instead of light, for all my days I faint But then I call this to my mind And hope returns, oh hope returns The love of God preserves my life His mercies fall out of the sky The morning sings his faithfulness So I will put my hope in Him He has walled me in with stones And weighed me down with chains Oh heavy chains, until my hope is gone Still I beg for sweet release I cry and plead for help To no avail, His answer will not come But then I call this to my mind And hope returns, oh hope returns The love of God preserves my life His mercies fall out of the sky The morning sings his faithfulness So I will put my hope in Him He has ground my teeth on rocks I cower in the dust Deprived of peace, 'til I forget my joy Remember, Lord recall The wandering and pain That cover me, and cause me to collapse But then I call this to my mind And hope returns, oh hope returns The love of God preserves my life His mercies fall out of the sky The morning sings his faithfulness So I will sing The love of God preserves my life His mercies fall out of the sky The morning sings his faithfulness So I will put my trust in Him

Psalm 8 06:52
You put the stars into motion Lit them on fire with no more than a word The glory and power at the heart of the sun Is only a shadow to you You set the galaxies spinning Charting their path with a wave of your hand While I cannot fathom the size of it all It's only a vapor to you How majestic is your name in all the earth! Who could ever hope to measure all that you are worth? You have covered up the heavens with the glory of your face God of heaven, how majestic is your name You set my tiny heart beating Made me in secret with carpenter's hands Fashioned my bones from the dust of the earth Father what could I offer to you? You offer life and salvation You are the author of every word The songs that I sing, they could never compare Or ever do justice to you How majestic is your name in all the earth! Who could ever hope to measure all that you are worth? You have covered up the heavens with the glory of your face God of heaven, how majestic is your name Still you remember us children Fawn over us like you can't stay away You dress us in mercy and crown us with love And make us a family with you You are the maker of all things I am the one who can barely stand up And still you bend down just to take my hand So I can walk always with you How majestic is your name in all the earth! Who could ever hope to measure all that you are worth? You have covered up the heavens with the glory of your face God of heaven, how majestic is your name How majestic is your name in all the earth! Who could ever hope to measure all that you are worth? You have covered up the heavens with the glory of your face God of heaven, how majestic is your name

I got so many things competing for my attention I got ambition in my left hand, and my worries on my right I got all of these lovers vying for my affection I got shame and doubt and misplaced hope to keep me up at night My restless heart gets broken A million times a day By all the things I know can't satisfy Despite all this I'll stand up And I'll sing out in the rain The only thing that I will ever need to know Abba I belong to you, And you belong to me You left your home, your glorious throne Just so you could make me see That there's no place that I have been That you've not brought me to 'Cause Abba you belong to me, And I belong to you I got pain and heartache to bring me to my knees It's gotta be some kind of miracle that I've made it this far I got shaking faith nobody else can see I got a heart with only one desire, to meet you where you are My thirsty soul is begging For the river of your love My tired hands are begging for your touch My hungry heart is aching To hear those words again The finest words that I have ever come to know Abba I belong to you, And you belong to me You left your home, your glorious throne Just so you could make me see That there's no place that I have been That you've not brought me to 'Cause Abba you belong to me, And I belong to you I got nothing worth a dime in this whole world Got no power, fame or fortune, just a tiny seed of faith But that faith is gonna take me home someday To the land beyond the Jordan where my true country waits My weary legs keep walking Every mile on the way And I will keep on walking till I see your face And then I'll hear you tell me Those words I long to hear The sacred promise that you gave me long ago Abba I belong to you And you belong to me You left your home, your glorious throne Just so you could make me see That there's no place that I have been That you've not brought me to 'Cause Abba you belong to me, And I belong to You

I am so frail I am so delicate With this my meager house of flesh I can barely carry on I am so blind I am so faithless These fragile eyes can’t even see the love The Father has for me But deep inside my soul there is a longing Reminding me of things I haven’t seen Where pain and suffering turn to love In a place that flesh can’t reach And somehow we’re getting closer every day I am not wise I am so foolish I’ll never know a fraction of the things That I could ever learn But I’m content To be a child And know the foolish thoughts of God Over the wisdom of a man ‘Cause deep inside my soul there is a longing For a place where every pain was worth the fight Where my questions fade to memories While I’m dancing with delight And somehow I͛m getting closer every day This world’s not right This world is broken This isn’t how things are supposed to be At all Our spirits ache With cracks and bruises And it’s a miracle that any One of us can stand at all But deep inside my soul there is a longing For a place that I am crying for tonight Where the hope I cling to in the dark Will be seen in glorious light And somehow it’s getting closer every day This world’s not right This world is broken This isn’t how things are supposed to be At all

Come see his body, torn and broken, lifted high His blood poured out, the Father's anger satisfied The king that we would not accept A serpent in the wilderness Lifted up, lifted up, amen Amen Come taste the grace He has shed on us all The lamb sacrificed, we are saved from the fall And raised up in glory, His glory to behold Come taste the grace in the bread and the wine His mercy received and His righteousness mine Forever to worship, in worship I am Thine Come taste the grace Come see the savior, bound and buried, sealed away A heavy stone to mark the place his body lay The debt that we could not afford Was laid upon our Lord Lifted up, lifted up, amen Amen Come taste the grace He has shed on us all The lamb sacrificed, we are saved from the fall And raised up in glory, His glory to behold Come taste the grace in the bread and the wine His mercy received and His righteousness mine Forever to worship, in worship I am Thine Come taste the grace Come see his body, resurrected, glorified Behold the scars upon his hands and in his side The sin that we could not defeat Lay crushed beneath his feet Lifted up, lifted up, amen Amen Come taste the grace He has shed on us all The lamb sacrificed, we are saved from the fall And raised up in glory, His glory to behold Come taste the grace in the bread and the wine His mercy received and His righteousness mine Forever to worship, in worship I am Thine Come taste the grace Come see his body disappear into the clouds An angel's message is delivered to the crowd For the Christ who went away Will return again someday Lifted up, lifted up, amen, amen, amen

Oh To Live 05:03
Oh to sit in Joseph's cage And watch the dancers on the stage To waste away or face the block And hear the promises of God Oh to write with Daniel's pen A prisoner in the lion's den His brothers cursed to die alone While Israel's calling each man home Oh to live, oh to breathe Oh to cross that holy sea As I whisper to the stars Oh to live, oh to live Oh to hide in David's cave Begging always to be saved From hands of darkness, bent on death While David savors every breath Oh to hear the songs of John Every friend and comfort gone He sees his Lord a world away As thoughts of heaven keep his faith Oh to live, oh to breathe Oh to cross that holy sea As I whisper to the stars Oh to live, oh to live Oh to see the Son of Man Lifted high above the sand A serpent in the wilderness Given to save my soul from death Oh to watch that sacred tomb A heavy stone to seal his doom And not to know in three days time He would return to give us life Oh to live, oh to breathe Oh to cross that holy sea As I whisper to the stars Oh to live, oh to live Oh to live, oh to breathe Oh to cross that holy sea As I whisper to the stars Oh to live, oh to live

O Lord 03:40
O Lord, father of healing, heal my heart, heal my soul, for my spirit aches O Lord, father of light, shine into me, till all I can see, is your glory For your mercies never fail, every morning I am swept away As my soul is reaching, crying out to live O Lord, redemption's kiss, rescue my life, from all these troubles, that I cannot bide O Lord, wisdom of heaven, grant me the grace, to walk in your ways, down this narrow road For your mercies never fail, every morning I am swept away As my soul is reaching, crying out to live O Lord, giver of life, breathe out your grace, these dry bones to raise, your praises to sing

God has remembered you God has remembered you With every step, may you never forget That God has remembered you May the stars bend down from the sky And keep watch o'er your trembling hands tonight While the giver of wings Above your head sings For God has remembered you When your journey grows weary and long May the message divine make your footsteps sure and strong For His promise today Is always the same That God has remembered you God has remembered you God has remembered you With every step, may you never forget That God has remembered you When thirst for compassion and truth And your heart can't remember the mercy you once knew May His goodness restore The love you long for For God has remembered you May He cover your shame and regret With a marvelous grace that you won't soon forget And the dawn from on high Will teach you to fly For God has remembered you God has remembered you God has remembered you With every step, may you never forget That God has remembered you Through each fire and every disgrace You have only desired to see the Master's face So be steady and brave He is mighty to save For God has remembered you Receive peach from your Father above May you know of the depth of the riches of His love May your every amen Remind you again That God has remembered you God has remembered you God has remembered you With every step, may you never forget That God has remembered you God has remembered you God has remembered you With every step, may you never forget That God has remembered you

about

I've always been fascinated with church music and how it has evolved over the years. In this album I have tried to take ideas from my experience of church music and put my own spin on them. I truly hope this album blesses you and gives you the same feeling of wonder and awe that I felt as I made it.

Thanks to Thomas for singing harmony with me; I hope we work together more soon.
