I am a singer/songwriter from Northern Ireland. My song writing skills started after I had taken my guitar to the Ukraine for mission work. Whilst playing I'm in the Lords army at a children's home a young girl who had looked very sad began smiling and clapping her hands as I was playing . I remember praying on the way home and saying to the Lord that it had been worthwhile to take the guitar all the way to the Ukraine just to bring a smile and a moment of happiness to that young girls face. Since I came home I felt the Lord guiding me to write songs and to date I have composed 170 Christian songs. Some of the songs are praise and worship and others are like singing tracts to reach the unsaved.You can also find me at www.mychristianbands.com/bands/313/
I write and record all my songs at home on a Boss BR 1200 digital recording studio with a 40gb hard drive that burns the CDs as well. All my songs are done in the one take and if something goes wrong then its back to the start. I play Ovation semi-acoustic guitars. My best guitar is a limited edition 2003 Ovation but my favourite and the one I use on most of my recordings is a black Ovation pinnacle deluxe. I have also recently purchased a Takamine G Series EG 523 SC which is a beautiful guitar with a beautiful sound.
Over the past 10 years I have been involved in missionary outreach to the Ukraine and have visited many Orphanages, Hospitals, Churches, Prisons ,Rehabilitation Centres and a Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centre as well as 2 Christian Schools. I have had the joy of seeing many precious souls come to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. As well as the mission outreach I also believe in practical Christianity and many 40 foot containers of humanitarian aid have been sent to the Ukraine and Belarus. Containers have contained Life support machines, heart monitors,Ultra Sound machines,electric
beds,Hospital beds , wheelchairs, and clothing and shoes for the orphans etc.
At present I am involved in gaining support for 200 children and to build a Christian school for them in Jinja Uganda.
I would also love to be involved in more festivals or praise events for charity or worthwhile causes.
I believe a gift given should be a gift shared.
My prayer is that as you listen to the songs that you may be encouraged in the Lord. If you feel led to purchase a song then all money raised will be going towards building the school for the children in JINJA.
Thank you for reading and thank you for listening. May the Lord encourage bless and guide you each and every day.
Your brother and servant in Christ

HUMAN LOVE, PHILEO LOVE, SAYS, I WILL LOVE YOU IF YOU LOVE ME, AND AS LONG AS YOU LOVE ME....
BUT GOD SAYS, I LOVE YOU UNCONDITIONALLY.... AND WITH ARMS OPEN WIDE, HE INVITES US IN.........READY TO FORGIVE, READY TO HEAL OUR HURTS, READY TO BLESS US BEYOND OUR WILDEST DREAMS......
AND IN THAT GREAT LOVE, WE FIND FORGIVENESS, HEALING, RESTORATION, PARDON, FULFILLMENT...HIS LOVE IS SO AMAZING, HE GIVES US FREE CHOICE STILL!! TO CHOOSE TO RECIEVE HIS GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE. HE LONGS TO WRAP HIS ARMS OF LOVE AROUND US.....AMAZING ISN'T IT?
THAT LOVE TRANSFORMS US, REPLACES THE OLD WITH THE NEW,CREATES IN US A NEW HEART, A RIGHT SPIRIT, ALL BECAUSE OF HIS AMAZING LOVE FOR MANKIND. HE CALLS US HIS CHILDREN....
HOW CAN WE NEGLECT SO GREAT A SALVATION....
SENDING HIS SON, JESUS, WHO WITHOUT SPOT OR BLEMISH, NO SIN WHATSOEVER, CAME TO GIVE UP HIS LIFE FREELY, TAKING ALL OUR SIN AND SHAME UPON HIMSELF ON AN OLD RUGGED CROSS, THAT WE MIGHT EXPERIENCE THIS...
AMAZING LOVE!! AMAZING GRACE!!!!
I WAS ONCE BLIND, BUT NOW I DO SEE....... THANK YOU FOR YOUR AMAZING GRACE AND THAT I UNDERSTAND JUST A SMALL PART......THAT I WAS LOST BUT NOW I AM FOUND.........
SEEING THESE MEN FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES SINGING SUCH A POWERFUL SONG.......
AMERICA, AMERICA, STAND STRONG IN THE AMAZING GRACE THAT GOD HAS SO FREEDLY BESTOWED UPON US. TOGETHER, AS A PEOPLE, AS A NATION, LET US STAND UNIFIED TOGETHER, PRAYING AND LIFTING UP ONE ANOTHER, HAVING A SERVANT'S HEART TO OUR FELLOWMEN....REMEMBERING OUR CHRISTIAN HERITAGE, THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR FAITH, THE VALUE OF A HUMAN LIFE......AND LET US LIVE EACH DAY TO SHARE THIS AMAZING LOVE, GOD'S GRACE, HIS FORGIVENESS WITH OUR FELLOWMEN......AND THEN,

The lion of winter can roaring by my place last night leaving a blanket of snow and the Arctic chill of his frosty breath filling the air! And patches of ice to remind me of the times I have fallen. When I skated on the deception of what appeared a safe and beautiful way to enjoy that which beaconed me to step on ice so thin that I was sure to fall and reap painful consequences as a result. However, I am fearless and cozy warm in the arms of my Lord, because now I know that even if I slip and fall on the cold slippery slope the enemy has placed in my path I can never fall below the reach of His loving arms!
