Where I'm at right now in my walk w/ the Lord. I want to stay there too! It's just a short story of where I was and now the Lord is standing w/ me on the mountain top looking down on the valley where I was (sin), and saying 'I brought you through
wes hayes music
singer/songwriter. Country/Gospel songs about life!
Wes Hayes singer/songwriter/musician. Hello to all, I am a 38 year old school teacher and basketball coach here in the great state of Oklahoma. I am a lifelong sports fanatic having played high school football and basketball. The latter was my meal ticket having gone on to play @ Bacone Junior College and Northeastern State University. After graduation I went into coaching. I come from a family of educators/athletes who inspired me to become a coach/teacher. I have always LOVED music, whether it be singing or playing music. I'm certain my love of music comes from my family and two very different genres/roots. My father is a native of san francisco and my mother from the small town of Mclain, Oklahoma. I tell people that sometimes I would go visit my father and have "the best of earth, wind, and fire", and go back home to my mother, grand-parents, uncles, aunts, cousins and the hee-haw show!I love all types of music and always felt that I could be in this "business". I think if you love it then it's not a business. I have played drums since the age of 10 and picked up a guitar at 29 at the encouragement of my bluegrass buddy superstar Steve Baldridge of Goldwing Express! Also at his encouragement I began writing. I knew I could but just never put it on paper. Well I did, and of course I'm biased but I think I do pretty well with it. After 38 years of hard living- some on my own,(but most was just the hand I was dealt), I feel I have written some songs that hit home with people. That is what I try to do, but feeling these songs and living them make them happen. I feel that a good song will hit home with many people, but a great song will touch all the people! If you like original songs then your in the right place. No cover songs, just songs about life, love, god, and a few sinnin' songs! All songs written/sung/played by yours truly. Songs were produced at Drapp Studio's with Louis Drapp and Jason Hargrove. Louis also played guitar and bass while Jason sang harmony and produced. Much thanks and appreciation for these two tremendously talented guys!

Story behind the song
I just feel like we are all trying to get to the other side of sin. It's an every day battle that we can't win on our own. We have to have help.
Lyrics
well I lived a life without you, and I lived a life of pain I guess that's what you get when you shake the devils hand but you came down from your mountain, and you showed me your grace and I thought that I would sing you, this song of praise cuz you led me through the fire, and you held me all the while, you never did deny me, when my heart was full of pride and now I'm looking back across the plains of sin in my life, and Lord I have to thank you, you brought me through, to the other side well I finally found the good book, and though it took a while it broke my caloused heart, and let me learn to smile and now I'm fallin' down on my knees, each and every night, cryin' out to God above to help me keep it right and you came down from your mountain, and you showed me your grace and i thought that I would sing you, this song of praise cuz you led me through the fire, and you held me all the while, you never did deny me, even when my heart was fulll of pride and looking back across the plains of sin in my life, Lord I have to thank you, you led me through to the other side.
