From The Vault…

Hey guys!

Found this old interview….reminds me of the days when I didn’t have two-colored hair! It’s a little video piece I did with “OneCubedTV” in Nashville, telling the story of my song Above All Else.

I’m changing guitar strings here…. playing a concert tomorrow night…. I wonder if someone might invent the “string-less guitar” one day, so that we don’t have to change strings anymore! You keyboard players out there have it easy…haha… (no you don’t really..I know guitars are MUCH easier to transport than keyboards!).

What Themes Are Missing In Worship Songs?

Just found these two videos on Youtube – they are from a TV filming I did in Canada recently.

The TV  show is called “100 Huntley Street” and their broadcasts reach 1.5 million viewers per week.

Realising that possibly 1.5 million people heard my songs that day on Huntley Street really got me thinking. I wondered “am I writing about things that people want to say? Am I writing about the right stuff?”

Are we as Christian songwriters/worship leaders/pastors, writing and using songs that say the right and needed things?

Or are there themes and topics in worship that our song repetoire just doesn’t cover?

What themes are missing from our churches, our songbooks and our CDs?
