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.

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.

The Rush, a Song


And I never could have guessed
How big and bright and beautiful you were
It was always hit or miss
But everything has changed now that you’re here

And I would give it all up if I could
To feel the fire burning in my blood
The Spirit breathing life into my flesh
Sweeping my heart away in the sacred rush
In the glorious crush
Of the holy hush
I wanna feel the rush

I may never understand
How awesome always and everywhere you are
When I thought I’d reached the end
I take a second look and I find more

And I would give it all up if I could
To feel the fire burning in my blood
The Spirit breathing life into my flesh
Sweeping my heart away in the sacred rush
In the glorious crush
Of the holy hush
I wanna feel the rush

Everything’s turned upside down
The world I thought I knew
It’s all gonna have to change
Cause everything that once made sense
Is making room for you
And I won’t ever be the same

And I would give it all up if I could
To feel the fire burning in my blood
The Spirit breathing life into my flesh
Sweeping my heart away in the sacred rush
In the glorious crush
Of the holy hush
I wanna feel the rush
