​Tear down those walls, mountains of pride. Teach me to worship you. Worship from deep, deeper inside. Teach me to worship you. ​ Open my eyes, I need to see. Teach me to worship you. Lord, show your face, show it to me. Teach me to worship you. Jesus, Savior, Master, Redeemer. Holy, so holy. Jesus I yield to you. I need to hear only your voice. Teach me to worship you. In you each day I will rejoice. Teach me to worship you. From this day forth, even in strife, Jesus I’ll worship you. You are my love. You are my life. Jesus I’ll worship you.

Soaring higher than the darkness, faster than the arrows fly We are headed for the mountains, mountains higher than the sky Doing battle in the trenches. Shields of faith and swords of light Cutting down the hordes of darkness. Truth illuminates the night So we worship our Jehovah. Worship Jesus Christ the Lord. So we join our hearts together, Jesus is the one adored. We are warring in the spirit, wielding weapons from the Lord When we keep our eyes on Jesus, victory is our reward We are shouting hallelujah. We are dancing for I Am We are worshipping our Master. Glory, Glory to the Lamb Abba thunders in the heavens. Power raging like a flood And our enemy is conquered by the power of the blood

Good Gifts 06:06
Psalm 23 Splendidly shining your glory upon me Washing the darkness away Fingers of Jesus massaging my sorrows Healing my heart as I pray Bathing my wounds with your oil of adoption Touching my heart with your love You are redeeming the years I have wandered You are my light from above You are my master, my savior, redeemer You are my reason to live I am adopted, accepted, forgiven I love the good gifts you give Painting my life with your truth and your glory Colors of mercy and grace Create in me a clean heart full of Jesus Living with you, face to face You are my shepherd, I won’t be wanting You make me lie down – to rest my soul You guide my footsteps – it brings you glory Even though I walk – down roads of death I fear no evil – you live within me Your word will always – comfort my heart You feed me daily – with your provision Right in the face of – my enemies You pour anointing – all over me Lord Goodness and mercy – will follow me I will dwell daily – within your presence I love you Jesus – you are my Lord

Run your fingers through my hair. How I love your presence You are with me everywhere. Yes I love your presence Reach into my hungry heart. Touch me with your presence Passionately you impart power in your presence I lift my hands to you Abba Father I give my heart to you Jesus Christ I yield my life to you Holy Spirit Father touch me through and through Abba hold me close to you I can smell your sweet perfume when I’m in your presence Fragrance filling up the room, lovely in your presence When I bow down on my knee, worship in your presence Angels come and sing with me, daily in your presence In the shadow of your wing, I am in your presence See the heavens opening. Glory in your presence All the years are washed away; healing in your presence Jesus keep me every day living in your presence

She holds her long, thick braid just like a teddy bear A soft familiar friend to touch when no one's there And no one has been there for such a long, long time She dines alone today, a solitary cyme She dines alone in silence like a photograph A headstone in the grass without an epitaph She dines alone, her eyes filled with a dark despair Her meal is yet another game of solitaire She dines alone, as always, all alone The cold wind whistles through the trees of stone She dines alone, a heart like shattered glass She quietly departs, alone, alas I've always wanted to approach and ask her why Timidity is such a lousy alibi Yet still I haven't said a word to comfort her And so she dines alone, so thoroughly demur Our world, at once loquacious and yet unconcerned So many people derelict. A forest burned So many broken lives cry tears on hearts of stone When will we start to love the ones who stand, alone

Psalm 148 Stars are burning in the blackness Shining with the glory Singing sonnets of creation Shouting out their story Crying out his story Worship the Lord Can you see the song resplendent Can you hear the music Blazing in a billion movements Passionately lyric Just the way Jah made it Worship the Lord His creation sings in silence Lovely genuflection Prostrate, I can find that quiet Bathe in his perfection Through the resurrection Worship the Lord There, I stretch out in the spirit Much to his enjoyment Fingers of my faith are reaching Stretching for his garment Just to touch his garment Worship the Lord Transformation in a moment Tinctured with his Spirit I will sing this song forever There, where I can hear it Anywhere I hear it Everywhere I hear it Fill me with your Spirit Worship the Lord

Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty Worthy, worthy, worthy, you are worthy to be praised We give you the glory for your splendor and majesty Praise You, Lord of Heaven with our voices raised You’re the Lord of Lords and your love endures forever You’re the Lord of Heaven and we worship you alone You’re the Lord of the earth, and the mountains melt before you You’re the Lord of kings and we bow before your throne You’re the Lord of the Harvest and the Lord of glory You’re the Lord of the living and the dead both the same I am here to declare there is only one God He’s the Lord of the Hosts and Yahweh is his name

Spirit Wind 05:18
Spirit wind blow my way. Quiet all the storms from yesterday Stir the leaves, fill my sail. Holy Spirit you will never fail Forest Floor, such a place for bended knee You are here, quiet voice inside of me Eagle’s cry, simple songs that celebrate Spirit wind, carry me to heaven’s gate Spirit wind, gentle breeze. I can feel you here upon my knees Stir the leaves, fill my sail. Holy Spirit you will never fail Scattered leaves, broken branches, twisted vines Prune away all the darkness that entwines Spirit wind, blow the clouds and bring the rain Wash away every sorrow every pain Spirit wind cover me. Fill me with your immortality Stir the leaves, fill my sail. Holy Spirit you will never fail Spirit wind touch my heart. I am waiting for you to impart Stir the leaves, fill my sail. Holy Spirit you will never fail

​ I’ve discovered there’s a love that goes beyond my understanding Of a sacrifice that covers all my sin It’s Jesus who has loved me it’s Jesus who has saved me And his spirit now is resident within My Jehovah, I praise your name forever Abba Father you supply my every need You have loved me beyond imagination With your son’s own sacrifice I have been freed You are Jesus, I love the way you love me You are savior, you paid the price for me You are holy, I worship and adore you I am humbled on the ground beneath your feet I am humbled on the ground beneath your feet ​ My heart was almost broken. My cup was almost empty The tears of sorrow totally run dry I finally fell on my knees and found my Master waiting His arms of love will always satisfy

There's got to be something missing. The potter forgot the clay. The gardener forgot the sunshine. The children forgot to play. You're face has a smile and laughter. You're near me it makes me glad. But something is wrong. It strikes me that Claudia's eyes are sad. You're really illuminated. You're life could be sunshine strong. But where could it be, that candle, That hasn't been lit so long? I wonder if someone hurt you? I wonder what pains you so bad, To snuff your esteem. I wonder why Claudia's eyes are sad. I wish I could tell you something To make it all turn around. But life isn't quite that simple For music to just be sound. Yet friendship can be a treasure And love makes our life worthwhile, so I'm going to try my best to get Claudia's eyes to smile. Oh, can we be friends? I want to get Claudia's eyes to smile.

You Are 05:14
I have a reason to lie down Lie down and humble myself at your feet You fill me up as I draw near Outside of you I am so incomplete You are my God, my King You are my everything You are my hope, my dreams, you are I have a reason to give in Allow your Spirit to regain control When I relinquish all my pride You can direct my life and heal my soul I give you everything I am And all I hope to be is in your care My life surrendered at your feet Give me the strength to leave it lying there

about

This project was something I dreamed of doing for over ten years but was never really able to. Fiddle was always THE essential element and I never could find someone who was willing to work with me. It was finally made possible by the gracious participation of my new friend, Rachel Crick, and her amazing fiddle playing. Thank you, Rachel! I was also helped out in a huge way by Sanja Smileska who is not only a wonderful musician, she is a skilled sound engineer and voluntarily stepped up and schooled this old man, helping me improve my clearly home-grown engineering practices. Her gracious input has really changed my whole approach to mixing. Thank you, Sanja!
I am also very grateful to the many friends who donated to my fund raising efforts and made this project financially possible. I hope you find my music enjoyable. This project represents the most enjoyable musical experience I have ever had, with friendly and expert help from working musicians from many different countries all over the world.
