I began writing and recording music during my sophomore year of high school. My parents actually surprised me with some old recording equipment (if I remember correctly, it was a Mac that only recorded midi!), and I haven’t stopped playing since - literally! Over the last two years, I have written a number of songs about my faith. Some were written during prayer and devotional times; others were written while listening to the teaching and preaching of God’s Word… and even others were written while sitting behind my desk at work, watching the sunset from my 19th floor vantage point! God has used these songs in my life as reminders of His love, His goodness, His mercy, and His ever-available strength. It is my prayer that you will experience the same. God bless!

About two weeks ago, Brad (http://bradbeaman.wordpress.com/) sent me the lyrics to the poem/ song written below. Our goal was to come up with a tune to put the poem to. Over the next few days, I read over the lyrics occasionally, sometimes humming a tune that might transform them into song; In the end, the lyrics actually inspired a song I was able to record quickly last night. I hope it speaks to you as it has spoken to me! Thanks again for the great lyrics, Brad.

Listen to The Road to Ninevah

You Oh Lord did hear my voice.
Salvation is from the Lord I will rejoice.

In Running from God my life’s a mess.
I called to you in my distress.

You Oh Lord did hear my voice.
Salvation is from the Lord I will rejoice.

I cried to you from the depths of the sea
The weeds and the water encompassed me.

You Oh Lord did hear my voice.
Salvation is from the Lord I will rejoice.

You brought my life up from the pit.
My prayer arose and to you I commit.

You Oh Lord did hear my voice.
Salvation is from the Lord I will rejoice.

Canyon Ridge Baptist Church, under the leadership and direction of Pastor Chris Chadwick, has seen God do some amazing things in just a few short years. Recently, the church moved it’s Sunday services to Chesterton Elementary School due to a limited amount of space in the rec center the church was meeting in. God has blessed this step of faith greatly, as the church has had an increase in first-time visitors, as well as seeing quite a few souls saved in recent days.

Even with the good things that have happened since the move, the need for a bigger - and more permanent church facility is more obvious than ever before. Canyon Ridge Baptist Church has prayerfully followed Pastor Chadwick’s vision up until this point in time; And yesterday, Pastor Chadwick made the announcement that we will be having a ‘Vision’ offering for the building fund in the near future.

Please pray that God will provide Canyon Ridge with a building that will meet the needs of the ever-growing ministry, and pray that God would allow a great victory when the offering is taken! Please take a moment to watch the video below - To learn more about Canyon Ridge, please visit canyonridgebaptist.org.

Bro. John just sent this out a few minutes ago… enjoy!

I worked on this song last night…. I just need to record the vocals! Here are the lyrics - -

vs.1

God made – everything,

The glory that surrounds me;

The waves on the sea, the birds that sing -

Can be heard everywhere;

vs.2

I think of the plants,

An all the animals -

They move and breathe - in harmony;

Oh, and it all makes sense,

When you think of the proof,

That God did it all!

Chorus:

Oh, an He made you - He made me,

With purposes, though not yet seen -

An in all of this - He loved us so,

And made us for His own.

vs.3

He made all the things, the joys each day,

The warmth of light - the dolphins play;

Imagine the love - of such a God,

He can be yours today!

vs.4

For God so loved - he gave His only son,

To save us all - for his own!

Oh, if you would but trust -

Believe in the truth,

You can be saved today!
