About This Website

Update: A dream come true ~ I am now an Author, Composer and Publisher member of ASCAP.

This website is for the music I have written. My music includes a variety, such as songs, scripture music, worship songs, instrumentals, Southern Gospel, and hymns. One of my dreams is to have something recorded. If you or your church would like to use any of my music or to record a song, please contact me. I really do want to join a composer's association. It takes some time to get music on here. I have to attempt to play all the chords perfectly, put the music on a CD, change to mp3, etc. I also have lots of music started that I need to complete. Thank you for listening to my music.

To God Be the Glory!

"Touch My Heart

This is a song I wrote years ago.

Touch My Heart


When the pain is deep in my heart
I will call upon my Jesus.
He will take away the pain.
He hears the cries of my heart.
Jesus, Jesus, touch my heart.
Take all the bitterness Lord.
Only thou canst make me whole.
Touch thou my heart, Lord, I pray.

When the burdens come my way,
I will call upon my Jesus.
He will bear my burdens for me.
When I am weak, He is strong.
Jesus , Jesus, carry me.
I cast my cares upon Thee.
Thou alone dost care for me.
Thou art the strength of my heart.

When I seem to lose the way,
I will call upon my Jesus.
He will lead me with His hand.
He knows the cries of my heart.
Jesus, Jesus, lead the way.
Thou art the Truth and the Life.
Thou alone hast plans for me.
Show me Thy will, Lord, I pray.

My Heart Dances

My heart dances at the sound of His name,
At the sound of my Savior's name.
Joyful music in my soul overflows,
Jesus, name above every name.
My heart dances at the sound of His name,
Blessed name of my shepherd, Lord.
Songs and spiritual hymns to God ever more,
I will sing with a heart of love.

Lullabies of Love

This is a song I wrote in 1995 after the bombing at Oklahoma City. It was for the babies and children who lost their lives. It can also be played as an instrumental.

Lullabies of Love

Angels are watching over the children.
Choirs are singing songs of love.
Jesus is holding His little ones near,
Close to His heart of love.
Guardian angels sing lullabies,
Sweet melodies, soft lullabies.
Guardian angels sing lullabies,
Sweet lullabies of love.

Angels are watching over the children.
Choirs are singing songs of love.
Jesus is holding His little ones near,
Close to His heart of love.
Jesus is holding loved ones near,
Holding His sheep, in strong arms.
Jesus is holding loved ones near,
Close to His heart of love.

Angels are watching over the children.
Choirs are singing songs of love.
Jesus is holding His little ones near,
Close to His heart of love.
Choirs are singing songs of love,
Sweet melodies, soft lullabies.
Choirs are singing joyfully,
Sweet lullabies of love.

New Songs

He has put new songs in my heart,
New songs in my heart
Songs of hope in the Lord our God,
Flowing from my heart
Flowing like rivers of water,
From the fountain of life,
Songs of joy and gladness,
New songs in my heart.

He has put gladness in my heart,
Gladness in my heart

Flowing from my heart
Flowing like rivers of water,
From the fountain of life,

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on Thee.
Because he trusteth in Thee, O Lord,
Because he trusteth in Thee.
Trust in the Lord forever
For in the Lord, Jehovah

God hath called us to perfect peace,
For He alone in our peace.

Why Art Thou Cast Down

Psalm 42:11
Psalm 43:3,4



Check this out on Chirbit

Why art thou cast down, O my soul, O my soul?
And why art thou disquieted within me?
Hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise Him,
Who is the health of my countenance and my God,
and my God.
O send out Thy light and Thy truth, and Thy truth.
Then will I go to the altar of God, unto God
my exceeding joy.

Come Unto Me


Come unto me ye who are weary, and I will give thee rest.
Call unto me in thy weakness, and I will give thee strength.
Then ye shall mount up as the eagles and soar on heights above.
Rest for thy soul and refreshing, thy God will give to thee.

Call unto me ye brokenhearted, and I will heal thy wounds.
Call unto me for thy healing, and I will answer thee.
I am the Lord, Thy God who heals thee, I AM the great I Am.
My love is everlasting, my peace I give to Thee.

Come unto me beloved child, Take my yoke upon thee.
Learn of me, my yoke is easy, and I am meek in heart.
Then ye shall mount up as the eagles, and soar on heights above.
Rest for thy soul and refreshing, Thy God will give to thee.

"Peace in the Midst of the Storm"

Check this out on Chirbit

Peace in the Midst of the Storm

Hide me in Thy secret place,
Under the shadow of Thy wings,
For I find my rest in Thee,
Peace in the midst of the storm.
Hold me ever close to Thee,
Precious lamb of Calvary.
Near to Thee will always be
Peace in the midst of the storm.

Thou hast been my refuge, Lord.
I run to Thee for quiet peace,
For Thou art my hiding place,
Peace in the midst of the storm.
Ever steadfast, ever sure,
Jesus is Thy love for me.
In Thy presence, Lord, I find
Peace in the midst of the storm.

Lord I cast my cares on Thee,
For Thou, Oh Lord dost care for me.
Underneath thy wings I find,
Peace in the midst of the storm.
Lord, I place my trust in Thee,
Jesus, Lord and God to me.
In Thy name will always be
Peace in the midst of the storm.
