Three Hands Clapping

This is my latest recording project (released May 27, 2019). It is a double album of 22 songs, which very roughly track the story of my life... a sort of musical autobiography, so to speak. Click the album image to listen.

Ghost Notes

Ghost Notes
A collections of original songs I wrote in 2015, and recorded with the FreeWay Musical Collective. Click the album image to listen.

inversions

Recorded in 2014, these songs are sort of a chronicle of my journey through a pastoral burn-out last winter. They deal with themes of mental-health, spiritual burn-out and depression, but also with the inexorable presence of God in the midst of darkness. Click the album art to download.

"Bridges" is a collection of original songs I wrote in the summer of 2011, during a soul-searching trip I took out to Alberta; a sort of long twilight in the dark night of the soul. I share it here in hopes these musical reflections on my own spiritual journey might be an encouragement to others: the sun does rise, blood-red but beautiful.

Rainbow Round Your Throne, a song

Will pink be a colour in the rainbow round your throne?
Will indigo and pastel blue?
Will every perfect colour that ever you imagined
Render their praise to you?

Will we radiate a billion brilliant colours
No eye has seen, no man has known
Will we scintillate, will we shimmer will we shine?
Just glimmers in the rainbow around your throne?

Around your throne, around your throne,
We're glimmers in the rainbow round your throne
Around your throne, around your throne,
We're glimmers in the rainbow round your throne

Will pearl be a jewel in the crowns laid at your feet
Will amethyst and garnet too?
Will all the priceless bneauty that ever you imagined
Glitter to adorn you?

Will we radiate a billion brilliant colours
No eye has seen, no man has known
Will we scintillate, will we shimmer will we shine?
Just glimmers in the rainbow around your throne?

Around your throne, around your throne,
We're glimmers in the rainbow round your throne
Around your throne, around your throne,
We're glimmers in the rainbow round your throne

Will sleepless nights 
Of wondering what the future's gonna bring
Will every heart's desire
For things to work out right
Will all the times we wondered
Who are you and who am I
Become the light 
That we see in your light?

Around your throne, around your throne,
We're glimmers in the rainbow round your throne
Around your throne, around your throne,
We're glimmers in the rainbow round your throne

Around your throne, around your throne,
We're glimmers in the rainbow round your throne
Around your throne, around your throne,
We're glimmers in the rainbow round your throne
