Simple songs that I hope will touch the heart of God, and maybe a few other people in the process.

I may never make it to Nashville, and I may never be on the radio, but that's okay. That's not why I do what I do. I do what I do because I understand things best when I get them down in rhyming lines set to music. I do what I do because I believe that my Heavenly Father enjoys the songs that few hear just as much as He enjoys the songs that everyone hears. I do what I do because it's one of the best ways I know how to worship God, encourage friends, and uplift the body of Christ.

Story behind the song

So often we laugh,  goof around, and it looks like everything is great. But we all have the struggles, the hurts, and the worries that are at the front of our minds. Things none of us should have to deal with, but things all of us do (though no one else may know), and things we often think no one understands.

Of all the Biblical pictures of Jesus, aside from the Cross itself, I'm most thankful for Jesus in Gethsemane. That's perhaps when He was most like us--troubled, doubtful, looking for any easier way than the path that was before Him. And when I look at that portrait of Jesus, I realize it's true when Hebrews says, "We don't have a priest who's out of touch with our reality."

How wonderful it is to know He's been through the same things we deal with, and He'll never leave us to handle it on our own...

Lyrics

I see the hurt in your eyes
The pain you try to hide deep inside
You always put on a smile
Though everything in you longs to cry

And He hears you calling out
He sees the tears you weep
He knows you need Him now
And He’ll never leave
He’ll never leave
He’ll never leave

You think no one could endure
The burdens you carry every day
But when your feet are unsure
Remember His own path led this way

And He hears you calling out
He sees the tears you weep
He knows you need Him now
And He’ll never leave
He’ll never leave
He’ll never leave

We have a God who understands our doubts
A Savior who has lived through our fears
 
And He hears you calling out
He sees the tears you weep
He knows you need Him now
And He’ll never leave
He’ll never leave
He’ll never leave
