The story of Lyrical Miracles™

I became a Christian over 25 years ago, but the curve of my growth and maturity as a Christian had remained relatively flat until roughly 1999, when, through the encouragement of the Holy Spirit—by way of godly male role models at church, the ministries emanating from WAWZ-FM Christian talk radio, Promise Keepers, and the like—I made a decision to "turn away from the old" ways (admittedly a daily challenge), seeking first His will in serving Him.

Then, one day, at about 5:00 a.m., toward the end of a fitful, restless night of sleep, I lay praying to the Lord for guidance in how to avoid an argument with a Christian brother in resolving an awkward situation on a homesteading building project. I was fervently praying, "Please, Lord, show me what you want me to do." The answer I received during those moments of total openness to Him was much broader than the situation I thought I was praying about. It was, rather, the literal answer to my question—a revelation of what God wants me to do to serve Him: spread the Word through song. A new, pleasant and infectious melody popped into my head, so vividly that I was compelled to get up and record it into my hand-held mini-cassette recorder. Within a few hours the lyrics came also, and thus my first song (and the first song on the CD), Bible 101 (But Jesus), was conceived.

 

Bible 101 (But Jesus).mp3

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  

–Philippians 4:6-7

 

 

 

Over the handful of years since, two dozen songs have come to me by similar circumstance, each with its own story to tell of God’s work in our lives, each with a unique story behind its creation (which I am always ready and willing to tell!)

Ask and it will be given to you;

 seek and you will find;

knock and the door will be opened to you. 

–Matthew 7:7
