Discography

The Answer. I wrote “The Answer” when I was commuting to work on a bus to Boston. As I sat meditating and reflecting on the Lord outstretched on the cross, in between the two thieves, the lyrics and melody to this song started playing in my mind. I instantly grabbed a notebook and wrote the song down as fast as I could. Because the song asks a series of question and because Jesus is “the answer”, that is how the song got titled. I was such a baby Christian at that time, that I couldn’t even fully explain what the song meant. It wasn’t until several years later when I was in the Word, that I came across 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 and realized it was the same exact message of the song… confirmation that it was divinely inspired!

Get Up. I wrote “Get Up” when my daughter was 3.5. I had just dropped her off at preschool and I was driving along when the lyrics and melody to this song hit me. I had to pull my car off of the road, park in a grocery store parking lot, and jot it down as fast as possible, so I didn’t forget it. Fortunately, the melody is not something I forget.

Without Your Love. “Without Your Love” is my love song to Jesus. I wrote it several days after I rededicated my life. On Valentine’s Day 2002, I gave my heart, mind and soul over to the Lord and fell instantly head-over-heels in love. This song tells of how I was dead in sin and lifeless before committing my life to Christ and how I became a new creation in Christ and never want to lose this new relationship.

Surrender. After committing my life to Christ, I still had some things that were getting in the way of my relationship with the Lord and even replacing my “first love”. The Lord was getting me to lay down anything that was becoming a hindrance in our walk. As a result, “Surrender” was born.

The Way You Do. This song was not an instant “download” for me. As I was riding in my car one morning to work, I was reflecting on my thankfulness to the Lord for all of the blessings in life and for His unconditional love for me. I began singing the first verse and the chorus and realized that I had written half of a song. As soon as I got to work, I got my Bible out and flipped to Romans 8:39 and read that no height, nor depth nor any other created thing can separate us from the love of God. Then, I flipped to Corinthians 13 and as I started to read the verses, the “The Way You Do” became a completed song.
