Music has always been a special joy to me. While still a child I enjoyed classical guitar and piano lessons. While growing up I had opportunity to play for our church youth group. More recently I have begun to write songs. They vary widely in style and are not confined to any one genre. My goal is to please the One who is the song-giver; to honour Him in all I write and play. It is my sincere desire that the Lord uses the music I write to draw people closer to Himself. Wherever you are at in relationship to God, may this music touch your heart and be a blessing to you.

Story behind the song

Ever wonder what you'd done to hurt so much inside (i.e. emotionally)?  I used to ask myself that question.  I still sometimes ask that question.  Now I see that my pain is not punishment because Jesus was punished instead of me.  It's not that I don't hurt anymore, but now God comforts me in the midst of hurt, pain and suffering. 
May God use this song to draw others and myself closer to Him from no matter where we are.

Lyrics

Verse 1
Sometimes I do not understand
Why I am hurting so
I come to You and ask for help
To me mercy You show
You comfort me and strengthen me
You hold me in Your hand
You give me peace that goes beyond
What I can understand

Chorus 1
You know it hurts, Lord
I don’t know why.
You see me crying,
You hear me sigh.
What can I do, where can I go,
But to You, Lord, to You Lord, 
To You Lord, to You Lord.

Verse 2
There are some times I struggle
Even when I’m doing well
Then to You, Lord, I cry for help
And on Your kindness dwell
Times before You’ve rescued me
When nights were dark and long
Again You give Your peace and rest
And restore my joy and song

Chorus 2
You know it hurts, Lord
And You know why.
So I will trust You
To You draw nigh.
That’s what I’ll do, that’s where I’ll go
Run to You, Lord, to You Lord,
To You Lord, to You Lord.
