about

Mankind seems determined to divide themselves based on innumerable levels. Nationality, color, creed, politics, etc are just a few dividing lines. Even among divisions there are subdivisions. As a Christian I look at the dozens of denominations that fracture our brotherhood in Christ.
Is there not some way to come together? I believe in this world we can all unify around hope. I have hope for barriers to broken down. The Bible explains that in Christ there is no such thing as slave or free, rich or poor, young or old, Jew or Greek, etc.
If we refuse to come together as brothers and sisters, hope will be dead. Jesus provides a rally point. In Him all can be unified. In Him we can all be brothers and sisters.

lyrics

You and I, we both bleed red
I apologize if I ever was the reason you bled
Swords meant for foes, not for trading blows
It won’t take long like this for hope to be dead

Brother turns on brother
Friend on friend
It won’t take long like this
for hope to be dead

Hands meant to heal are at each other’s throats
Tongues meant to heal choose rather to gloat
Unity is more important than counting the votes

Brother turns on brother
Friend on friend
It won’t take long like this
for hope to be dead

I've found songwriting to be the best way for me to process life, faith, and the world around me. Through song I feel we can interact with God, each other, and ourselves. I'm a blessed man with a loving wife, a son, a daughter, and a passion to see others experience the miracle of life with Jesus. I pray this music is enjoyable and thought provoking as I share my life with you. ... more
