New Anthems (2023)
I’m grateful to have works published by Shawnee Press, Lorenz, The Wild’s Music. I also have forthcoming titles with The Wild’s, Fred Bock, Shawnee Press, and EasyChoirMusic.com. You can purchase the titles listed below at their publisher websites or on Sheet Music Plus by clicking HERE.
Recently released on The Wild’s summer album Let the Church Rejoice, I was privileged to collaborate with Matt Taylor. He took my poetic meditation on Isaiah 61:1-3, the same passage Jesus quoted from when he took up the Isaiah scroll at his hometown synagogue in Nazareth, and wedded it with a beautiful melody. We can never say “thank you” enough to Jesus for his work of salvation on our behalf. You can purchase the new album here, and download free hymn sheets for congregational use here or purchase the choral anthem here.
This song is also a collaboration with Matt Taylors on the Let the Church Rejoice album. I know of a lot of Christians who have experienced immense struggles with feeling alone in this world. My desire in this text was to highlight the everlasting communion all saints enjoy before God, even when we feel alone. We are gathered together with God, his church, and his angels in heaven’s praise. You can purchase the new album here, and download free hymn sheets for congregational use here or purchase the choral anthem here.
I’m excited to share this single with a lyric video from the Wilds.
Some songs come quickly, others come after a lot of time and hard work. This song was five years in the making, but I’m so thankful for how it turned out!
I tried to capture the heart of Psalm 36:5-6:
Your steadfast love, O LORD,
extends to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds.
Your righteousness is like
the mountains of God;
your judgments are like the great deep;
man and beast you save, O LORD.
Nature’s trio of oceans, mountains, and heavens sing the praise of God’s incomprehensible wisdom, righteousness, and love. You can download free hymn sheets for congregational use or purchase the choral anthem here.
Published Anthems (2022 and beyond)
The Wilds published “His Countless Scars” on their CD with full orchestration this past summer. It fits well with the Christmas season, as it traces the life of Christ from the cradle to cross.
These lyrics were especially personal for me, because we all bear scars (both external and internal). The scars of Christ remind us God has a sovereign purpose for every scar. The scars of Christ won our salvation! We tend to want the scars to fade away, but praise God Christ’s scars don’t. Instead, they prove we are forgiven. There’s a mysterious beauty in that truth.

Songwriting Resources
Ever wanted to write a song? You’ll need more than a pencil and a napkin! One of my passions is to provide music with substantive yet singable lyrics for the church. If you are interested in songwriting, I’d encourage you to check out my video, “Crafting Poetic Lyrics,” below. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in further feedback on your church music lyrics.
