My band consists of ... me! I've been with me for some time now and have enjoyed being with me almost the entire time.
I am a follower of Jesus Christ and I hope that most, if not all my songs reflect that. I would like to think that I write "sermons in song". God has not blessed me with the ability to write praise and worship music, so I try to write songs that make you think. Or at least don't give you a headache. I play acoustic guitar and sing with a contemporary, easy-listening sound. I've only been writing my own songs for a couple years and enjoy it as a hobby. I never expect to break into "the biz" since I just enjoy doing what I do for its own sake. I welcome any feedback. Thanks for reading and listening!

Story behind the song
I heard a pastor once say that God does not love us because of who we are, but in spite of who we are. How true.
Lyrics
In Spite Of Myself I've known for some time now How I've fallen short of your call When I look in the mirror I don't see you at all You've placed me on the mountaintop And I've seen the valley below It's so hard to judge the distance There's still so far to go Chorus 1 In spite of my faults, in spite of my fears In spite of the way you call my name but I don't hear Lord, I'll never understand you In spite of the wind, in spite of the storm I stand my ground and keep my pride so true to form Now I stand out in the rain in spite of myself There's road rough and narrow Stark, severe lonely and long When I stumble with my weakness It's then you make me strong Repeat Chorus 1 There's a battle I keep fighting Though I know you've won the war Now I'll never understand the reasons It was me you were dying for Chorus 2 Because of your love, because of your truth Because of the way that you could leave but never do Lord, I'll never understand you Because of my sin, because of your grace Because of the way you left your throne to take my place Now I stand here forgiven ... Because of your love, because of your Son Because you would leave the ninety-nine to save the one Lord, I'll never understand you Because of my sin, because of your grace Because of the way you left your throne to take my place Now I stand here forgiven Now I stand here forgiven Lord, I stand here forgiven in spite of myself
