Bride's Song

 Holy Spirit is preparing the bride through worship, a worship that is deeply rooted in our hearts.  The Spirit is blowing on the smoldering coals within us and producing flames of desire to be with our Eternal Bridegroom.  It is not just knowledge of Him as Savior and what He has done for us, but a deep desire to be with Him.  This worship of the heart speaks His name as we open our eyes from sleep and is our last thought as we drift off to sleep at night.  It is a desire that causes us to search for Him in our everyday experiences.  It prompts us to look for Him in every circumstance.  It is worship that sings throughout our days, in the best and the worst of times.  This depth of worship will bring about the return of the Bridegroom.  Only God the Father knows the hour of His Son’s return and He is waiting for a bride who will be ready for His Son.  A bride who loves Him, desires Him and desires for Him to be her husband.  His br...

  In 2001 my life was so conflicted. The Capital Region Prayer and Healing Center had just opened in Albany, N.Y. and I was a regular member of the Monday night worship team.   I had just started working with home recording.   I had been a songwriter since I was 18 years old and this was a time in my life that exploded with new songs on a weekly basis.   I was passionately in love with Jesus and it was hard to find the balance between this passionate pursuit, my family and work life.   I was in fellowship with equally passionate individuals who were also passionately writing songs and consumed with love for Jesus. I was at a worship conference in Syracuse, NY with Jeremy Sinnott in 2000.   At the end of the conference, he asked if there was someone out there who would produce music just for the LORD, no profit, not fame, just God’s thumb print, then pick up this vision and do it.   I grabbed hold of that vision that day.   It was like a precious...
