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

A tribute to the human (especially the male) ego. For all those times we hesitate to ask for help because we figure we can do it by ourselves.

Lyrics

I hope it’s not too late but I have something on my mind
Of all that I could talk to You’re the one that I could find
I can’t seem to remember how I got into this mess
I guess You know by now that I’ve got something to confess

I should have called You yesterday when all of this began
I thought that I could handle things – You know just how I am
I didn’t want to bother You or impose on Your time
So I just kept on pretending that life was so sublime

It seemed so insignificant the first time it appeared
A slight misunderstanding – not something to be feared
A hill became a mountain that I couldn’t rise above
The fear closed in around me and I lost sight of the love

I know You see right through me even when I try to hide
I want to keep my distance but You call me to Your side
You clothe me with Your righteousness to cover all my shame
I’m still part of the family and You call me by my name

You say that You still love me after all that I have done
I still can call You Father and You’ll love me as a son
The door is always open anytime I feel the need
I come before You boldly – my acceptance guaranteed
