Nearer My God to Thee — Jacob’s Dream
This hymn has been a favorite of mine since I was a teenager. And because I know how beloved it is, not just for members of The Church of Jesus Christ but for Christians everywhere.
Sunday Will Come
I began writing this song in April 2021 after discovering Elder Wirthlin’s talk, ‘Sunday Will Come.’ At the time, it had been nearly a year since Eli passed away….

Gethsemane
I am struck by the humility of Jesus Christ in condescending below all to suffer for our sins, pains and afflictions in the garden of gethsemane, then to continued to suffer on the cross, die and take up his own life again so that he might be the perfect Healer, Redeemer and Savior for each one of us.
On a Golden Springtime Lyric Video
I love how this song talks about God’s creations in the first verse, which makes me think of the circle of life with all plant, animal and human life. In the second verse it then testifies that “on a golden springtime, Jesus Christ awoke”. Wow! This is the best news in the history of all news. This is the pinnacle on which all of Christianity stands.

The Worth of Souls is Great to Thee
Over five years ago I wrote a hymn to submit to the new Church hymnbook (it didn’t get selected). A few months ago, I came back to this hymn to look over it and see if I should record it, but I found it needed a lot of improvement. With some time, perspective and more experience with all I have been working on since then, I could see that it needed more work. The message of the song is largely the same, but much clearer and more clarified.
