Artist picture
Writer of Contemporary Praise and Worship music to uplift the church and reach the lost.
First of all, the word "Band" is a misnomer with regard to me. With the exception of the Lord I am working on this project alone. With, of course, the support of my loving wife and family. Several of my songs were co-written with my brother in the Lord and dearest friend Keith Gamblin who went home to be with Jesus on April 9, 2004. I thank the Lord that I have these songs to remember him by. I am currently serving as the Worship Pastor at Kingman First Assembly of God in Kingman, AZ. However, I am looking forward to branching out in the future and doing some traveling ministry by leading worship and teaching seminars in various venues. I have over 12 years of ministry experience and more than 20 years experience in music. Thank you for visiting my soundclick webpage.

Story behind the song
This song began on the first anniversary of 9/11 during a memorial prayer service. I finished it in summer of 2004 in hopes of using it as a memorial to those who gave their lives that day. I also see it as an analogy of the true Hero in my life, Jesus Christ.
Lyrics
Heroes (Verse 1) Many were the heroes Some who gave their lives For even when it all seemed hopeless Ya know still they had to try And that's why We celebrate their lives (Chorus 1) Cause God has given us true heroes Many who gave their lives And because we are so thankful We will celebrate their lives (Verse 2) Many are the heroes Who live their daily lives In a world that's full of darkness Their testimony shines And that's why We will celebrate their lives (Chorus 2) 'Cause God has given us true heroes Even in our daily lives And because we are so thankful We will celebrate their lives (Bridge) No greater love No greater love No greater love than this: That a man lay his life down for his friend (Verse 3) We celebrate true heroes All those who give their lives For when it all seems hopeless Ya know still they have to try And that's why We will celebrate their lives (Chorus 3) 'Cause God has given us these heroes To truly bless our lives And because we are so thankful We will celebrate their lives We celebrate our heros All those who touched our lives And because we are so thankful We will celebrate their lives We will celebrate their lives I celebrate my hero...
