The Problem: This is a new recording of a song that I released on my Go From Here EP in early 2007. The situation it describes is still a struggle in my life. I recorded and mixed this in my home studio here in Singapore.

Jesus Hold Me In Your Arms: This is a song that I was working on for a couple years and recently re-recorded in Singapore. I added some instruments and finished this mix while on fieldwork in India.

Sheet music

Communion Hymn is a song I wrote while on tour in 2009. I was visiting some friends near Easter time and the words flowed out of me in the space of several minutes. Matthew Monticchio helped me make adjustments to the music, and we released it on 12 Gates. You can also hear it on the Songs for the Supper compilation by Cardiphonia.

Come Holy Spirit Come is a re-tuning of the wonderful text by Joseph Hart, 1759. You can find it on 12 Gates, as well as the Pentecost Songs compilation by Cardiphonia. A version by J. Paris and B. Almquist adds a chorus to my tune, and you can get ahold of it here.

O Little Child is a Christmas song I wrote in 2006. This PDF doesn’t quite follow the original arrangement, but you should be able to get the general gist. I’ll try to upload a new PDF before too long. You can find it on the first Pageant Music Christmas album, Word >>> Flesh.

Writings

You can read an essay I wrote about the need for modern hymns on Sandra McCracken’s site, New Old Hymns.

I try to keep a regular video blog (sometimes more successfully than others) about my music and experiences. You can check out my channel on YouTube to find out more. Below are a couple of the music videos I’ve done.
