It Ain't Me

It Ain’t Me is an acoustic folk ballad born from a quiet moment of reflection—realizing that the best songs I’ve written were never really mine, but gifts from God. This song is my testimony of surrender, grace, and how the Lord reshaped my songwriting over the years. With simple strings and heartfelt lyrics, it tells the story of letting go of my own dreams and letting the Spirit lead. If this song touches you in any way, may all the glory go to Him—the true source of every melody.

The Things I Would Write to Me

This heartfelt folk-country ballad journeys through the seasons of life—childhood wonder, youthful ambition, early parenthood, and midlife reflection. Framed as letters written to the songwriter's younger self, the lyrics explore grace, faith, identity, and the quiet guidance of God through every chapter. With warm acoustic tones and honest storytelling, this song invites listeners to reflect on their own paths, regrets, hopes, and the lessons that only time—and faith—can reveal.

The Rain Song

This song imagines calling forth a rain shower on a beautiful spring day. The music starts slow and tentative, calling for the rain. It picks up intensity as the drops bein to fall and crescendos like the rain pouring down. Then it begins to fade, just like the passing of a spring rain shower. I wrote this song in 1992 as I was learning to play on my first guitar. It developed over the years and I finally finished recorded it in the 2020s.

Mothers Day

This song recalls the beauty and sacrifice of mothers and contemplates Jesus' own mother, Mary. I wrote the song about my mom in the late 90s for a youth service where we honored our mothers on Mother's Day. I finally recorded in in 2020 during the COVID shutdown to share with a slide show at my church on Mother's Day.
