I am the proud father of two adult children. I have been playing the guitar for various church bands for over 25 years. All of these songs are original and reflect a preference to Christian music with a country rhythm.

Story behind the song

They appear in my e-mail in-box every day. “Opportunities” they call them – chances to obtain untold wealth with very little effort. After several unsuccessful attempts I learned what the “Delete” button was all about. Still, there is one offer in which I have learned that I will never find disappointment. Jesus said “I have come that they might have life – and that they might have it more abundantly”. And that is what our spirits truly long for – abundant life – that can only be obtained by becoming a disciple of the One who said “I Am … the Life”.

Lyrics

They said it was so exciting – I'd have all I would ever need
It was all there just waiting if I would join them  in their deed
They said I would be the envy of all my friends and my family
I could have it all tomorrow – just wait and see

 
I never found the pot of gold hidden at the rainbow's end
I never had my name engraved on some fashionable pen
But I'll never find another Friend who will love me the way that You do
So Lord that's why I keep coming back to You


They told me that I was special there was nobody quite like me
I had nothing but potential - disappointments were history
If I'd focus my attention there was nothing I couldn't achieve
I had only to catch the vision – and just believe

(I keep coming back to You)

(Because) I'm tired of empty promises and goals I will never meet
Striving after empty vanity while trying to compete
Won't You give me a clear direction in whatever You want me to do
Today I take my life and give it all back to You

(Now) I may never find the pot of gold hidden at the rainbow's end
(And) I may never have my name engraved on some fashionable pen
But I'll never find another Friend who will love me the way that You do
And Lord that's why I keep coming back to You
