Morning Star designs inspired lyrical lines

He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970. And that happened mostly because of just one song. So, that must’ve been quite a song. Right? You got it. So good that you’ve probably sung it at least … Read the rest

Empty handed, branded, and stranded

No doubt about it. It’s how you started in this life. Empty-handed. And no matter what you do or don’t do, with your life, it will end that very same way. But empty-handed doesn’t have to equal branded and stranded. … Read the rest

Handle the Truth now and make this your vow

Old hymns lyrics say so much in a better way

Who wants to listen to (much less, sing) a bunch of  old songs with a bunch of thee’s, thy’s, and thou’s? I mean, not only is that stuff not cool, it just sounds weird. Yeah, the old hymns lyrics say … Read the rest

I Can Do. And in B flat, too

I can hardly believe it’s already been almost 4 years. But the calendar doesn’t lie. And the metadata in the documents I saved doesn’t either. Yeah, almost 4 years since I produced rough cuts to several new songs. And I … Read the rest

In the past went by so fast but the life will last

A friend of mine died two years ago, today, September 12, 2021. But he wasn’t just a friend. He was the pastor of the church I attended (and led praise and worship) for a long time. And he was blessed … Read the rest

Future security in spite of your iniquity

You don’t have to look far to find a financial “guru” who has the solution to your retirement income problems. And they often say your future security depends on your present investments. But the future they talk about is chicken … Read the rest

In the garden your mind shouldn't be left behind

Why is Christian music so bad? This doesn't make me glad.

Lyrics explained in a way unrestrained

I first shared this song over a dozen years ago. And about eight years ago I showed how the lyrics explained more of the whole person who created you and me. I went through the words a little at a … Read the rest

Inside my soul this can make me whole

How Great Thou Art is from the heart

When I led the praise and worship music, at a church in the greater Denver area, I made sure to include old hymns. Because so many of those “old songs” have such meaningful depth. And one of them has remained … Read the rest

Old hymns are fine, but here's another line.

OK, I heard it again. And without mincing words (who does that anymore?) I gotta say I’m insulted. Because people keep saying they “miss the old hymns in church.” And they say things like, “Only the old hymns stay true … Read the rest

Wimpy song that no man will sing along

Contemporary schmontemporary Christian music. Most of it could easily be mistaken for another “Top 40 love song.” And most of it is unmanly, to say the least. And real men, in church, won’t sing along with a wimpy song. So, … Read the rest

Collection of praise for these interesting days
