Ive written hundreds of songs over the past 40 years. I love Jesus, the word of God, people and music. I play guitar, bass and sing. Thank you for listening!
My music is about the new life found in Jesus Christ. He is our access to the Father and is worthy of all praise and glory. He has taken our sins away by the selfless sacrifice of His death upon the cross. He is deserving of songs and worship.
The sound of my music is influenced by the delta blues and artists that have followed through the 60s and 70s who have taken this music and written folk, Americana, and Rock n Roll.
Thank you for listening to my songs, and also the collaboration projects, thank you to all who contributed to these songs..

Lyrics
INTRO (John)
Bring the offering, the offering of praise
Give to the Lord sing with all of your heart
He has been faithful to walk with us
When we stumble He lifts us back up
VERSE TWO (Richard)
Glorify His Name oh you pilgrim
On this journey to the eternal home
As we pass over Jorden and enter the land
With songs of thanksgiving there is none like our God
CHORUS: (John)
Oh sing of His fame,
Yes, lift up His Name.
He heard my sigh,
Yes, He heard my cry.
Holy Holy the angels sing,
Yes, Holy Holy all praise to Him.
VERSE THREE (Richard)
Holy, Holy is our God,
There's none like Him, He's worthy of our praise.
He's the Prince of Peace,
Full of mercy.
He will lift your burdens,
All should come to Him.
CHORUS (John)
Oh sing of His fame
Yes, lift up His Name
He heard my sigh
Yes, He heard my cry
Holy Holy the angels sing
Yes, Holy Holy all praise to Him
Bridge: Spoken Word (Richard) Psalm 23:4-6 (King James Version)
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
VERSE FOUR: (Richard)
As we travel this highway we remember
His goodness and mercy and how He cares for His own
He came to my rescue, He brought me in
Oh how I long to see His face.
Chorus: (John)
VERSE FIVE (Richard)
Come to the Father, He'll wipe away your tears.
Call on His name, He will rescue you.
Our heavenly Father sent His only Son to save us all from damnation.
VERSE SIX (John)
There is none,
There is none like our God
There is none,
There is none like our King
Holy, Holy I praise Him
Holy Holy bless His Name.
Bless His Name!
Bless His Nam!
Oh, Bless His Name!
