Song of the week: Rock My World

Image
  "Rock My World" is the title cut from of my 4 song EP Rock My World (obviously). It was meant to be a full-on '80s arena rock jam. It is also inspired by the Great Commission . Rocking out and telling people about Jesus - what could be better? Verse There’s something that you need to hear,  something that you need to know When the power comes upon you,  you know that you need to go Go be witnesses in your own back yard Everywhere around the world, the gospel shall be heard Chorus Rock! My World! Rock! My World! Verse Every authority has been given to Christ our Lord Go to the nations, proclaim to them His holy word Go make disciples, teach them what you know God will be with you, everywhere you go Repeat chorus Bridge Behold I will be with you Even to the end of the age Behold I will be with you Even to the end of the age Repeat chorus Listen to it at the following links: Spotify Apple Music YouTube Music

Song of the week: I Stand Amazed

Image
  "I Stand Amazed" was inspired in part by the music of Matt Maher (especially after having just seen him in concert) and also by the words of Psalm 8 . For all God has done, for His wisdom, for His love, I am amazed. Verse 1 In the quiet of my soul, I'm humbled, I'm in awe, Of the One who chose me, before creation's dawn. You predestined me in love, adopted as Your own, Your grace, it overwhelms me, awestruck by You alone. Chorus I stand amazed, I stand amazed, For by Your mercy, I have been saved, Chosen in Christ, by endless grace, I stand amazed, I stand amazed. Verse 2 In Your infinite wisdom, Your eternal plan, You knew me, O God, before time had began. In the depths of Your purpose, expressed by Your grace, You called me, You chose me, to seek Your face. Repeat chorus Bridge By the blood of Jesus, I have been set free, Redeemed and forgiven, forever found in Thee. Your Spirit within me, my hope, and my guide, I'll praise You forever, in You I will abide...

Song of the week: You Are My Refuge

  "You Are My Refuge" was the final song on my 2000 CD Listen . It was written a few years prior (probably 1996) on a Saturday afternoon when I sat on the floor of the dining room of my apartment with the sunlight streaming in the windows with a guitar in my hands and my Bible open before me. The lyrics are inspired by Psalm 62 . This song was sung both in youth group worship times as well as on Sunday mornings when I was the worship leader at my old church. My soul finds rest in You alone My salvation comes from You You alone are my Rock You are my fortress, I will not be shaken I will trust in You, forevermore I will pour my heart out to You You are my refuge One curious thing about "You Are My Refuge" that I wanted to share (for God's glory, of course), thanks probably to some automated playlist generator on Spotify, for about a week or so soon after its digital release, "You Are My Refuge" was getting over 100 streams a day... in Indonesia!
