“The Gift” CD is a testament to the overcoming power of the Holy Spirit. I have been able to persevere in bringing this project to completion only because my Lord and Saviour walked with me through challenges that seemed to gang up against me.

From my childhood it has been my dream to be involved in writing and playing music. The Holy Spirit reminded me of that dream when I turned my heart back to him, after 10 years prodigal years. In the aftermath of my ‘decade of decadence’, I faced a legal ordeal to gain custody of my son. Writing and playing music became my stress release. I found peace and comfort writing and playing music at my church for Jesus’ ears alone, often halfway through the night.

The completed CD is a blessing I hold in my hand, a dream come true. I can look back at the difficulties behind me, problems I never could have overcome on my own, counting it all joy to know the Lord’s victory over:

  • The failure of my immune system and the loss of health in every part of my body. From heart palpitations to inner ear complications, it seemed not long ago that never-ending illness would drain all life from me.
  • Inability to sleep while I desperately tried my best to handle single fatherhood and full-time work as a chef.
  • Double booking of recording studio times into an over-cramped schedule, fitting in an hour here and an hour there.
  • Financial pressures to purchase equipment, studio time, engineers, manufacturing, art
    work, video work. Difficult relationships that took a turn for the worse and court issues that flared up just as the CD project began to gain a bit of traction. Heaped up debt loads as I tried to balance life’s day-to-day challenges with the dream of presenting a gift to my Lord.
  • Demonic attacks that were physical and palpable manifestations of evil, a legacy of dabbling too close to witch craft, voodoo and wicca.
Through it all, by mercy and grace, I kept my eyes on Jesus and believed everything He said to me in His word. My son and I are together. I now have my health back. I am out of debt! The CD is a fait accompli! “The Gift” is the talent He gave me, presented to Him, for His Honour.

“The Gift” tile holds manifold significance:

  • Every note and lyric are gifts to my Lord who has never stopped loving me.
  • The songs celebrate the free gift of salvation and eternal life.
  • The CD tells the story, in musical form, of the gift of my son to me.
  • The musical talents the Lord had given me, I give as a gift to others

My hope is that the songs, mixed by Holy Spirit power, will speak in a language every heart can understand.

I designed the CD cover art work to tie together with the gift theme, and titles and descriptions of every song are linked with Bible verses. It was my joy to write and record every song and to play all instrumentals, save for the electric guitar, played by my good friend Scott Theilmann.

Walking LighthouseEach song tells a story. For example, Walking Lighthouse is what we should all be, light that shines into the dark to help the lost find their way. Tears-Tears grew from the intense emotional squeeze of pain beyond human capacity to control.

I really needed to make only one CD because this project has been my whole-hearted gift. But there are now more stories to share, and as He provides resources, another CD down the road may be possible.

My dream has also has a sequel: the proceeds of the CD sales will go toward building a water well in Africa and sponsoring a family.

I will go on, in the strength of the Holy Spirit, to create more gifts for my LORD. I will no longer hide the talents He has given.
