I would like to thank...
Jesus, for giving us the gift of musical expression and the privilege of worshiping Him through it. My wife, for her incredible support and love! The wonderful group of musicians who worked on this project with me. You are all so talented and a huge blessing! The many people who have encouraged and supported my song writing, musical development, and worship leading.

WITHOUT END

You will judge the living and the dead. 
Every tribe and tongue, their knee will bend.
But I will not wait till the very end.  
I will sing Your praise right where I stand.

I will worship, I will worship
I will sing Your praise without end 
I will worship, I will worship
Halleluiah, Halleluiah

Halleluiah, Hallelu, Halleluiah 
Halleluiah, Halleluiah

I will worship, I will worship
I will worship You

This song was birthed out of a dream in which I heard and saw a congregation of people bursting into passionate, spontaneous praise, yet all singing the same song.

GOD OF GLORY

You are worthy... of all glory 

God of Glory, God of Power
God of heaven came to me
God of love & all compassion
Came to break my misery      

You are the truth, You are the Savior
You've come to set the captive free
You've come to love, You've come heal us
You've come to set the prisoner free
God of glory, You came to save me   

Set us free, set us free   
I am free, I am free      

All creation gives You glory
All creation gives You praise
Joining with angelic singing
We declare Your Name is Holy  

You are worthy... of all glory

HOW I LOVE YOU

How I love You, Oh, Oh how I love You
How I love to sing Your praises.
Cuz You're so good.  You're so good to me.

For all the ways that You have shown You're faithful,
And all the blessings You've poured out on us.
For all the ways that You have said You love me,
I will sing Your praises for ever more. Oh Lord.

For all the riches You've prepared in heaven,
And all the treasures we enjoy on earth.
I could never give You enough glory,
So I will sing You're praises for ever more.  Oh Lord.

I ADORE YOU

I adore You,  I lay my life before You,
I adore You, I worship at Your feet

You alone are worthy, my God
You alone are holy
You are what I live for 
And You are why I sing 

I've got to sing Your praise 
With a voice so loud that the deaf can hear
My Father, You deserve 
To hear the praise of the nations pourin' out
Can You hear it?  Can You hear it?
Can You hear my love for You?
I'm here to lavish You,
With a love that flows from the debt I owe
Your sacrifice for me
Is enough to set my heart on fire.
Can You feel it?  Can You feel it?
Can You feel my love (for You)?

GIVE ME YOUR GLORY

Show me your glory God
Cover me with your hand
Shield me just enough 
So I can have as much as I can stand 

I never wanna lose Your holy presence
So if You want me to go out
You've got to go with me

Give me Your glory, Lord
Send me with Your power, God
If I'm to walk this road,
Into Your promised land
Give me Your favor, Lord
Make me a blessing, God
Let signs and wonders show
I have an awesome God

Give me Your glory... Make me a blessing

Based upon Exodus 33:15,18 & 22. Just as Moses, we want to move forward for the Kingdom, but never at the expense of the presence of God

PRECIOUS IS THE LAMB OF GOD

Precious is the Lamb of God
Precious is the Lamb of God
Precious is the Lamb of God
... Who bled and died for my sin

You are holy
You are holy
You are worthy
You are worthy
... To receive all the glory

This song was birthed spontaneously during a small group worship time at my home.

SHADOW OF GLORY

He who dwells in the secret,
The secret place of the Most High.
He will abide under the shadow,
The shadow of the Almighty.

We will dwell in Your shadow of glory,
We will abide in Your shadow of grace.

Because you have set your love on Me,
I will deliver you.
And I will set you on high,
Because you have known My name.

We'll live, in Your shadow of glory.
We will stay, in Your shadow of grace.

Based upon Psalm 91. This was written during a time of meditation at a regional prayer summit.

OH, MY JESUS

Oh, my Jesus ... the Savior of the world
My Jesus ... the Savior of the world
My Jesus ... I'm glad you came for me 
         ... I'm glad you came for me  

Great are You Lord, Great are You Lord                       
Great are You Lord, You reign in majesty ... for me

You are the One who gave Your life for me
You came to set me free
You came to earth and died upon a tree ... for me

Righteous ...   Holy ... You are so ...
Precious ...  Lovely ... You are to me 

You came to earth, you gave your life, 
You died for me, you set me free - - -

MY GOD AND KING

You are compassion, the God of grace
Slow to anger, unfailing in love
Forgiveness and mercy, flow from Your throne 
And life giving glory, emanates from Your face 

And I don't wanna turn away from the glory of your face.
Cuz you're the one I love, the One I need 
So I enter the Holy of Holies

You are ... My God and, my God and King, 
You are my everything, You are my God and King  

I've just got to say, I've just got to say...

ALL MY RESERVATIONS

Like a tree in Your fingertips, Oh Father
I am moved by Your Spirit like the wind
Abandoned to the movement of Your loving
All my reservations fade away
All my reservations fade away

And I dance with You, sweet Jesus
I fly with You on Your wind
I move in Your gentle loving
And all my reservations fade away
And all my reservations fade away

This song was written as I stood in the presence of God, worshiping with my hands raised. I could feel Him gently moving my arms as with a breeze. I envisioned the large willow tree outside the house as these words were sung spontaneously.

COME UNDER THE WATERFALL

From the north to the south, From the east to the west
His (My) Spirit's falling, His (My) Spirit's calling
His (My) Spirit calls

(I) Come under the waterfall
(I) Come under the waterfall
(I) Stay under the waterfall
(I) Stay under the waterfall.

A gentle mist billows down,
Refreshing love settles 'round.

Now a tender rain has begun to fall,
As peace sends out His steady call.

Harder now, pours the rain,
Mercy falls, and it drowns my shame, yeah
            ... come & drown my shame, yeah 

My soul cries out, "Father I want more"
Come on Lord, Let Your river pour
I bow my head, and step on in 
Let Your goodness fall and Your freedom begin

This song was birthed spontaneously in a small group setting. It depicts the presence of God using the imagery of a waterfall; gradually approaching and increasingly feeling it's effects. We all must decide how close we will get to 'the Divine Waterfall'.

COME WITH YOUR GLORY

Come, with Your glory Lord
Come, bring Your glory now (down)
Come, with Your glory
On our land to  -  day yeah

We need Your, fresh fire
We need Your, fresh wind
We need Your, fresh fire 
The atmosphere of heaven
The atmosphere of heaven
Bring the atmosphere of heaven here
Bring it near...

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done
On earth as it is, as it is in heaven

We need Your fresh fire... Lord
