This is a rough mix of a new song that was recently recorded. It has not been mixed or background vocals added. This song is about someone, that despite frailties in their personal life, can still be used by God.
Artist picture
Solo Artist - Singer / Songwriter - Contemporary Christian
I am a musician (singer / songwriter) that has had many influences. As a young man I listened and was influenced by Journey, Kansas, Styx, Boston, Led Zepplin, Billy Joel, Elton John, The Eagles, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, and many others. As I grew older and became more involved with my church, I gravitated toward contemporary Christian artists such as Wayne Watson, Steven Curtis Chapman, Michael W. Smith, Michael English, Ray Boltz, Casting Crowns, Philips Craig & Dean, and others. Recently I have returned to my first love - Contemporary Christian Music. It is my prayer that God will open doors within this ministry and hopefully, in the future, I will be able to record and share some of the great music that God has given me. In January of 2007 I had the priviledge of Recording my first EP of original songs with The Tyler Music Group in Nashville Tnn. This has been a wonderful experience to record and work with some of the best musicians in the world. I was also fortunate and blessed to have been associated with my producer, William Smith, that believed in my songs and took a chance on a new unsigned artist. I am married to my beautiful wife, and we live in Anniston, AL. I have a daughter, Bethany that is the joy of my life. Bethany is a Graduate of Jacksonville State University, with a major in Elementary Education - She has recently taken a job at Alexandria Elementary School as a Third Grade Teacher - Bethany loves, children and will be a great teacher.

Story behind the song
I wrote this song during a time in my life that I questioned whether God could use me in His work. I had made some pretty big blunders in my life, and did not feel that I was worthy to be used by God. Then I began thinking about people like David, and the apostle Peter, and I realized that if God could use men like this that had failed sometime during their life, I knew that he could use me.
Lyrics
Restored - Re-write 1st Verse God’s anointed king His rule over everything He cast a wishful eye Toward the forbidden prize He failed to see within That he had stumbled into sin Yet he was a man of God’s heart Chorus Restored – go and sin no more Jesus broke the chains to set us free A silent prayer in the night God hears our humble cry If He can use this man of God He can use me 2nd Verse Standing by His side When the soldiers came that night Peter took a stand To defend the son of man But before the sun could rise He denied he knew the Christ Yet Jesus called this man a rock Chorus Restored – go and sin no more Jesus broke the chains to set us free A silent prayer in the night God hears our humble cry If He can use these men of God He can use me Bridge Standing through out time A reminder of a blemished life But God hears the cry of a broken heart Just as God’s men have failed Out lives are just as frail If He can use these fallen men, He can use you Chorus Restored – now go and sin no more Jesus broke your chains to set you free A silent prayer in the night God hears your humble cry If He can use these men of God Then He can use you Repeat Chorus
