Every Hour
This is the first song I ever wrote. I'm in my junior year in high school,
dating my first "love", attached to her, expecting her to meet
my every need.
Gone Again
Getting high felt good, sure, but every time I turned around the good
feeling was gone again.
More Than Goodbye
When I was 23, I was in a car wreck that paralyzed all three of us in
the back seat. This is my goodbye prayer to Jeff and Susan, who were in
the front seat and died.
How Can I Tell You
Another attachment to something other than the Creator. I proposed marriage
to her three weeks after becoming paralyzed. How could I tell her how I
loved her--desperately.
Whipping Post
Addiction is a frightening and sick thing. I hated myself after using,
but I would go back for another flogging. And another, and another ...
Big Money
This song is about the law degree and the things money can buy.
White Lady
This song is about the power cocaine had over me. Wow. Sick.
Jesus in my Heart
I used to try to figure out this God stuff in my head. It's only when
I let go of that folly that I came to know the truth.
Old Man Jack
This song talks about our fallen desire to always want what we don't
have. Jack, upon losing a quarter at a pay phone, angers to the point of
forgetting that he had just received a pardon from death row, sight from
blindness and a cure for his cancer. I guess it's satirical.
For You
A song to my beautiful wife, Catherine.
Your Love
This story, told by a weathered street person, is how he was led back
to the truth by a simple act of love.
Hope to Find
If we follow him, he promises us the taste of fruit of which he is the
vine. Through his grace, may it be so.
