Today we’re still reminiscing about some old songs of mine – but we’re moving from the children’s songs to this one – a song for dads and other adults. Written for a men’s ministry called, Promise Keepers, the year they used the phrase “Turn the Heart” as their theme.

Day 11 of 37 Days of Christmas 2024 – Hello There, Children of the World
This song is not new to my children, but this arrangement is. (It was re-recorded on The Choices Project several years later) I love the intro of this version, spoken by Micah Joy (Harris) Macaulay – she was probably 5 or 6 years old…now she’s a pastor of worship in Chattanooga.

Day 10 of 37 Days of Christmas 2024 – A Guaranteed Yes
Tessa, our first born, was 1 year old when I recorded the children’s album, It Takes Love, for Children of the World / Campus Crusade for Christ. It was part of a curriculum and not so much part of our music ministry to children and their families as my album, The Choices Project.

Day 8 of 37 Days of Christmas 2024 – To the Glory of God

Day 7 of 37 Days of Christmas 2024 – Awesome Most Delicate Lord
Let’s go back to listening to a “whisper of a song” – and specifically about the coming of Jesus to earth – a Christmas song if you will. (Whisper of a Song” – is the phrase I use to describe the recorded demos of my songs. It seems more accurate than saying, catch a “glimpseContinue reading “Day 7 of 37 Days of Christmas 2024 – Awesome Most Delicate Lord”
Day 4 of 37 Days of Christmas 2024 – Heal Me O Lord
Jeremiah wrote in what we call the 17 chapter of his book, “The sin of Judahis inscribed with an iron chisel—engraved with a diamond point on their stony hearts” I relate to Judah in that I can be described in the same way – with the same heart condition. I also relate to the womenContinue reading “Day 4 of 37 Days of Christmas 2024 – Heal Me O Lord”
