Hi. I'm Scott. I am a solo Christian songwriter/recording artist. I have been playing a variety of instruments since I was six years old. I was saved (I gave my heart to Jesus, and he forgave my sins) when I was 16 and my life has never been the same. I have come to know Jesus on a very personal level, and He has placed a calling on my life to use the talents He's given me for His glory, so that's what I'm doing. I play all of the music that you will hear in these songs; guitars, drums, bass guitar, tambourine, keyboard. . . well, you get the picture! Enjoy the music and I pray the message of the Gospel comes through. If you would like to donate money to assist this ministry, click on the 'Contact This Artist' link on the left side of this page and send me a message. I will provide an address to mail a check to, or I can even accept PayPal funds. Thank you and God bless!

Story behind the song
I wrote this song with my step-daughter's voice in mind (she's singing on the track). I wanted a slower song to accent her voice. After writing the music, it occured to me that the "story" of my backsliding, then returning to God would be a good fit. So here it is. Revisions coming.
Lyrics
Why, oh why did I say goodbye? I fled away from the love you gave You loved me like none before you And I, like a fool, I turned away -Chorus- Now I see that you loved me And now I know your loves so strong You saved my heart for eternity I need you now to love me I needed love so desperately But I, I turned away from the life you gave My pride conquered me, but still you gave Your love to me so patiently -Chorus- (Lead) -Chorus Xtra-
