Welcome to March! With a new month comes a new hymn. We’re currently going through a series in Colossians at my church with a focus on the preeminence of Christ. With that in mind, my Pastor suggested that “Be Thou My Vision” would be a good fit for the series. Seeing as this is oneContinue reading “Hymn of the Month: Be Thou My Vision (All That I Long For)”

Song of the Month: Lord I Believe
I always love when I can introduce songs from other members of The Worshiping Songwriter. This months song comes from Eric Hendrix, a music major at Cairn University. He brings a great ear and rich accompaniment to deep, self reflective lyrics. You can find the chord chart here. Enjoy! Let Eric know that you’ve heardContinue reading “Song of the Month: Lord I Believe”
Song of the Month: God of Heaven
Can you believe its already October? Or maybe you can’t believe its only October. Somehow this year has been both the longest and the shortest I’ve ever gone through. Despite all of that, one silver lining is that 2020 has been my best year of songwriting so far, both in terms of quantity and quality.Continue reading “Song of the Month: God of Heaven”
Song of the Month: On That Day
This is one of my earlier songs but I find it to be encouraging today. It holds in contrast two truths. First, this world is broken. Second, there is a better day that is yet to come. The question is, what will we trust in while we wait for that day? Verse 2 points meContinue reading “Song of the Month: On That Day”
Song of the Month: Set Free
Another month has come and gone. That means its time for a new song of the month!

Song of The Month: How Long? (A Quarantine Prayer)
Originally, I planned on releasing a hymn arrangement this month. However, with the events of the past week, this song came back to my mind. I had started it early on in the lockdown. In the first session I wrote the first verse and chorus then let it sit for a while. Today I cameContinue reading “Song of The Month: How Long? (A Quarantine Prayer)”
Song of The Month: Joy Inexpressible
New song is up! Check it out here Joy Inexpressible It’s been a while since I’ve posted here and I hope you’ll forgive me. With Covid-19 life has gotten a little crazy.
