Discography
Waiting
Waiting is kind of like a modern day Psalm. Everyone who pursues a relationship with God has at some point had the frustrating experience, like David often did, of longing to connect with God but feeling like He's so far away. That's the place this song was written from.
More  
More is a satirical look at the misguided view that people can satisfy spiritual needs through physical means. The song is basically saying that peace, fulfillment and contentedness are things that cant be achieved through the pursuit of money, pleasure, status, power or fame.
Right Time  
This song is looking back to a time when you felt close to God and knew you were His beloved child, and realizing that now things are different. We all share the roller coaster experience of feeling alternately close to God and far away from God, but His love remains the same and it's never the wrong time to recognize that fact.
You Can Be The One
We try to encourage kids to follow their dreams, because we feel like God has instilled dreams inside everybody. Everyone has something that they are passionate about and love to do. For us, it's music, among other things. But no matter who you are or what dream God has put inside you, dont ever think for a second that it could never happen, because it can, and it will.
Melt Me  
Melt me is a metaphor for a conversion experience. A human heart of ice is melting, under God's sunshine yellow stare, into the deep blue ocean of His smile.
Let Me Know  
You know when you kind of like someone, but you think they might be hooking up with someone else, and you dont really know what to do? Thats what Let Me Know is about.
Believer
There comes a point when you realize that you are ready to become a Christian. Up until now it has been hard for you to commit to something like Christianity, but you have been convinced and you have felt God's love, and now you are ready to let yourself believe. At this point you might pray something like the prayer in this song.
I Don't Want To Lose
This is a straight up love song. It talks about finding that someone can help bring a bit of focus to a scattered heart.
Take My Heart
I wrote this with my good friend, Chris Study, who wanted to write a song for his lovely wife, Michelle. Its a song about love and faithfulness in a relationship. Its important to make sure the one you are in love with knows that you are there to stay.
I'm OK
My cousin, and one of my best friends, Brandi, found out several years ago that she had leukemia, and bravely began the journey through the years of excruciating treatment necessary to beat this horrible disease. The lyric is basically her side of a conversation I had with her when I thought she was on her deathbed. She assured me that she was okay, in a spiritual sense, even though the disease had all but destroyed her body. It was one of the most inspiring conversations I've ever had.
