Beyond Expectation Beyond Expectation
So I got a new mike. Thought I'd fiddle around exploring a genre I am totally unsuited for. You are probably right. Old white guys should not even attempt styles like this. Oh well. I had a good time making it :-)
Earth Shall Be Fair Earth Shall Be Fair
Wrote this for a Christian Aid appeal to raise funds for Street Kids in Brazil. It subsequently featured in a TV documentary about the problem. Sadly the problem has never gone away. http://www.taskbrasil.org/
Back to The Bible Back to The Bible
People going round saying the Bibles just a book, like the Koran, Shakespeare's works or one of Julia Child's cook books. They say it carries no authority by which to rule our lives, just a collection of stories that somehow have survived.
Am I a Christian Am I a Christian
'If you were arrested for being a Christian would there be enough evidence to convict you?' (quote from a poster I saw). People claim the name and then use the label to justify their actions of exclusion and discrimination!

So Here I Am Now So Here I Am Now
So there I was in theological college. How did that happen? Never in a thousand years had I thought that would be the path my life would take! Love it.

Sod em All Sod em All
A word to all the wet blankets out there who would just love us to never colour outside the lines :-)

A simple little rant regarding middle class myopic avoidance of world poverty issues.
Kicking in the Gates of Hell (Soldiers of Christ) Kicking in the Gates of Hell (Soldiers of Christ)
Punky Jesus Rock anthem with verses from the classic Charles Wesley 1749 hymn "Soldiers of Christ Arise".
Be Still (Lament) Be Still (Lament)
Wrote and sang this song when I got back from my dad's funeral back in 2003. A lot of emotion swirling around... took me over 10 years just to revisit it! Not all songs are upbeat.

Love Song for my lovely lady written (and recorded) while living in Aberystwyth.
