The love of the Lord is better than life. Call on Him today and He will meet you wherever you are at. Jesus is the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but by Him.

Ive written hundreds of songs over the past 40 years. I love Jesus, the word of God, people and music. I play guitar, bass and sing. Thank you for listening!
My music is about the new life found in Jesus Christ. He is our access to the Father and is worthy of all praise and glory. He has taken our sins away by the selfless sacrifice of His death upon the cross. He is deserving of songs and worship. The sound of my music is influenced by the delta blues and artists that have followed through the 60s and 70s who have taken this music and written folk, Americana, and Rock n Roll. Thank you for listening to my songs, and also the collaboration projects, thank you to all who contributed to these songs..

Lyrics
Better Than Wine When the sun peeks from the eastern hills, shyly making its way through the west, Ill cherish all the beautiful moments your love brings with each blessed day. You love Your love is better than Wine Your love Your love You are so kind You have brought me from the retched place And set me by Your side I will sing to You blessed Lord I will sing for You care for me I will sing and praise You Name You brought me life When the moon breaks through the clouds, the stars at night sing Your praise. When I hear the sound of a newborn, my humble heart sings Your praise. Through You, by You, and for You, all things came forth, Lord, our sweet Redeemer. For Your glory, O Most Holy, We declare You, Lord, O Messiah. You love Your love is better than Wine Your love Your love You are so kind You have brought me from the retched place And set me by Your side Draw me nearer to You, Jesus, and teach me Your ways. Straighten my path, Holy Saviour; guide me through the dark. Bring me to the place where we first met Take me to the life that is in You Holy Father lead me to the peace only through You Your way is the only way to find abundant life I will yield my heart to You Lord Jesus You are kind Your love is better than wine Your love You are so kind Your love is better than wine Your love is better than wine Your love is better than wine Written by Richard Shekari and John Matteson Produced by Richard Shekari Copyright 2024 All rights reserved
