Welcome to "Mountains Will Roar"

Dear friends,

Welcome to "Mountains Will Roar", where you can tag along with me on my journey with Christ as it is depicted through song and word. As my good friend Tim put it, these songs will document my relationship with my Father as it grows and grows. New songs are to come, but if you ever find yourself sitting and waiting, head on over to my bandcamp, where you can find "Chapter 35", a collection of songs about salvation and redemption. I'm very eager to share my joy of songwriting, musicianship, fellowship, and worship with you all! I can be very inconsistent and lazy, so I hope that this blog will allow you to keep me accountable to share my songs with you!

Here, you will find reminiscence of old songs, sneak peaks at upcoming lyrics, and a look behind the curtain of the fellowship which music and worship brings. It is my prayer that these songs will touch you as much as it touches myself. I want to share these songs with you as they happen to me because they are so precious to me. As John Mayer (another good friend of mine) said, "At the end of the day you go to sleep with a song you didn't know when you woke up that you were ever gonna have, and that's the joy of making music and that's what keeps me hungry to want to keep coming up with stuff. And as far as I'm concerned, if I could have every eighteen hours be that, I would."

As I searched for (and continue to search for) my identity through songwriting, I've discovered one of the unique ways in which God speaks to me. Many times over, I write a song intending it to reveal God's love to those who may come across it, and sometimes those people are very specific people in my life. Sometimes I would go back to song and break into a flood of tears because I would hear God's voice through the lyrics, reminding me of His love and grace, and that's why these songs are so precious to me. In my songs, I've found a tin can with my name on it, and attached to the can is a string. I sing into this tin can in my search for truth and love, and every so often, a gentle voice sings back to me, telling me what I am loved.

"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; You are mine."
