Motivation...

Craig [Dunnagan] also had a bit of advice regarding motivation and attitude. He says,

”Some sincere Christians worry about their motivation in writing songs.

But don’t be afraid to exercise your gift for fear you’re doing it for

the wrong reason, or you may become like the man Jesus told about who

buried his talent and was punished for it. Our motives may vary from

day to day— 80/20, 90/10,…

Instrumentation

Instrumentation can be a tricky thing when writing worship music. As a songwriter, it’s easy to let a song be driven by an instrumental hook. As a composer, it’s fun to layer instrumental parts. As a music director, you are limited by the instrumentalists on your team, and by their skill levels. I try to ask myself a few questions as I’m writing: Is this song relying on its accompaniment to be effective? Would it work with only guitar, only piano, or even a cappella? Are the instruments… Continue

birds of prey

Some of you may know that I have been in a 2 yr dry spell from writing any songs. I haven't written anything since before my brain popped and I needed surgery to stop the bleeding.

I have had many people tell me that I would write many songs from this experience etc... and nothing has come out of me at all. I even lost my voice for a period of time, due to nodules on my vocal chords from the surgery. So that's where I've been.

Recently I have recieved prayer from a couple of different… Continue

I’m throwing caution to the wind

To find a life worth living

I hear the voice of heaven calling out, “Whom shall I send?”

I’m praying for my will to fall

To find a joy above all

To take my cross and hear the Savior say, “Well done, my friend.”



To the hungry, make me a feast…
