The Olympic motto is "Citius, altius, fortius, communiter" which translated into English is "Faster, higher stronger, together". We come together at the Olympics to celebrate individual achievement, but in community. Those achievements mean nothing without community and the individual needs the help of community to achieve their potential. This is very much the same model of the church which should be a loving community that enables each individual to achieve their full potential. So an Olympic song about achieving together. After all the Trinity is the ultimate community.

An Easter song, from Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on palm Sunday, to this death, resurrection and eternity. Each verse highlighting his character and identity as the Lamb, the Lion, and then the King.
Written in the style of a Modern Hymn, yet having the taste of contemporary music, arrangement and performance.
I do write slow songs, but the fast ones keep breaking through. This song is based on my favourite chapter of the Bible, Romans 8. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, and nothing now can separate us from His love.

We are rightly taught that it is only by grace that we are saved. But it can be easy to get into wrong thinking about what we can do, and feel inadequate because of what we don’t do, or don’t have the ability to so.
This is a song to sing together as a congregation or in personal worship, to remind ourselves that whatever our abilities or frailties are, we can come accepted and worship Him, knowing that his grace will supply what we need as part of the body of Christ. We are all “fearfully and wonderfully made”, often with “weirdly hewn” characteristics that God designed for His glory!

It's all to easy to despair if we star too long at the world's problems. This song is a prayer to ask God to renew his great deeds in our day - to remember mercy and bring revival.
This was a 12 song challenge to write a song based on one of the Psalms. I decided to start at the beginning of the book of Psalms and choose the first one that seemed to appeal to me and which I hadn't used before. I settled for Psalm 15 which clearly defines what a believer should be like and it beautifully mirrors what Jesus taught which is rather prescient to current events in the evangelical church.

A sporting analogy song which echoes the words of 1 Tim 4:8, what training for Godliness is of more value that physical training, even though the latter has some value. Like the apostle Paul, we seek to run the race before us with endurance.

"The Gathering" was written as a response to a National Level Christian Youth Camp in 2023 called "Xtreme Camp" in Northern Thailand. Where we saw over 2000 young people from almost every province in Thailand come together to worship, seek and pray for Revival for our nation. Since then, there has been more such gatherings that have continued to impact lives in incredibles ways and therefore, our nation of Thailand.
