Your past problems and your present poorness doesn't mean you're not rich or worthy in the Father's eyes

I'm glad to use my wild array of talents to share with the global community, as well as a way of serving the Creator who gave me these talents. He deserves the
It was not until I was ten that my parents starting noticing I had any interest in music whatsoever, and it was not until 2007 that I actually picked up the hobby of musical composition and production. I have had more than enough dimensions of inspiration - my life journey, my friends, my family, and my Savior - and I know for a fact that I will never produce even a tenth of all the joyful songs I have written. I am more than glad to use the extraordinary talents that God has given me for His glory and to inspire others. I have been blessed far beyond measures of human comprehension, and the least I can do in return is give my life to the One who started it all. I am an American, to be sure . . . however, that does not mean I was born or raised in America. As a missionary kid, I have been to corners of the globe that only National Geographic has taken most of my friends. I have experienced God at work in so many different and powerful ways, and I can express only a fraction of my emotions through some of the songs that you may be listening to right now. I am no more perfect than any other human being: I have seen indescribable joy, and I have seen heart-shredding despair. But through it all, God is still mine and I am still His, and I am going to forever praise His name . . . would you care to join me?

Lyrics
Verse 1 I’m a poor man; at least that’s what you’d say if you saw me . . . whaoh I’m a door man at a run-down hotel; but life is still swell, can’t you tell? Don’t feel sorry for my situation; daily I have great exhilaration ‘cause I’m a rich in my Father’s eyes; how ‘bout you? You better be wise! Oh Chorus 1 The world says I have no worth because my wallet’s flat But ever since my second birth, I’m livin’ for something greater than that Verse 2 I’m an old man with scars in my heart, I’ve had some problems . . . whaoh But I’m a new man with a big brand new plan; I’m now in God’s hands . . . how ‘bout you? Chorus 2 The world says I have no worth because I’ve made mistakes But I’m not living for this earth; I’ve been forgiven and now I’m walking straight Bridge Judging books by their covers is how we love to treat each other But oh, take the time to see . . . there’s something else inside of me Than what you see on the outside; you might call me insane But God takes us on amazing rides; just let Him have the reigns, oh Chorus 3 The world says we’ve lost our minds because we live by faith But all our doubts are left behind; we’re walkin’ on with Jesus all the way
