Sanity Sanity
If I'm the only one who thinks our society has gone collectively insane, I would be both surprised and lonely -- but sane.
Wisdom Cries Out Wisdom Cries Out
This song is based on Proverbs 8. This song was written in May, 2005. For some reason it was orphaned and never included in an album.
Dream Me a Song Dream Me a Song
Songs are like dreams: strange and inexplicable visitations. This was written in 2011 during a time when I was not working on album projects. This has been added to give it a home.
Blue Sky High Blue Sky High
A song about summer. We have had a long succession of blue, blue skies in Kamloops this year. I find them exhilarating! (Lost masters: F-C-Bd) [Wrote this in 2013]
Heart of Things Heart of Things
A song about my desire to get back to the One who really matters.
Light Unapproachable Light Unapproachable
A song about God. What is everyone else singing about? Oh yeah: things God made. Got it.
360 Degrees of Integration 360 Degrees of Integration
This song emerged out of thinking about the nature of prophecy.
That's the Way the Fortune Cookie Crumbles That's the Way the Fortune Cookie Crumbles
So, I was supposed to do yard work today, but I got this really cool idea of making a song out of random fortunes taken out of 3 fortune cookies. (I only had three, so that was the reason for the limit)
Modes of Understanding Modes of Understanding
A friend of mine drew the distinction between logic and feeling as representing the different ways that people tend to think. I agreed, but found myself wondering how to blend the two into an organic synthesis.
Considering the Source Considering the Source
A song about the source of our problems, the source of life, and the distance between us.
A Portrait A Portrait
A retrospective song about teaching. The title track for my 20th album since 2001.
This Suit of Armour This Suit of Armour
Based on the passage in Ephesians concerning the full armour of God
I Can't Breathe I Can't Breathe
Does it need a description? Turn on the tube: there's the description.
Amy's Mist Amy's Mist
I've been reading Ephesians, and the mind blowing truth that God called his children before the dawn of time. Do we live in God's mind before we live on earth? If so, could a child who was aborted have a life in God's mind?
Justice being Born Justice being Born
Things will change when people insist and when people listen.
Song of the Companion Song of the Companion
This is a strange song. I don't think it really worked, but it is what it is, until it becomes something else.
You can call it Racist You can call it Racist
I'm amazed and disgusted by the number of high ranking officials who won't call out racism as something endemic and ingrained into our society's treatment of its black and native citizens.
Love Grown Cold Love Grown Cold
This is based on a verse of scripture, Mat 24:12 "And because wickedness is multiplied, most men's love will grow cold."
What Lasts is Love What Lasts is Love
This song began in two places: a tune that grew into a poem and a poem that bled into the song. I was reading Philip Larkin's "An Arundel Tomb" and my tiny poem grew out of his wonderful piece. The tune came with different lyrics. The two combined.
