I'm glad to use my wild array of talents to share with the global community, as well as a way of serving the Creator who gave me these talents. He deserves the
It was not until I was ten that my parents starting noticing I had any interest in music whatsoever, and it was not until 2007 that I actually picked up the hobby of musical composition and production. I have had more than enough dimensions of inspiration - my life journey, my friends, my family, and my Savior - and I know for a fact that I will never produce even a tenth of all the joyful songs I have written. I am more than glad to use the extraordinary talents that God has given me for His glory and to inspire others. I have been blessed far beyond measures of human comprehension, and the least I can do in return is give my life to the One who started it all. I am an American, to be sure . . . however, that does not mean I was born or raised in America. As a missionary kid, I have been to corners of the globe that only National Geographic has taken most of my friends. I have experienced God at work in so many different and powerful ways, and I can express only a fraction of my emotions through some of the songs that you may be listening to right now. I am no more perfect than any other human being: I have seen indescribable joy, and I have seen heart-shredding despair. But through it all, God is still mine and I am still His, and I am going to forever praise His name . . . would you care to join me?

Story behind the song
The first verse was originally part of a poem of mine. Eventually, after feeling like it deserved it, parts of that poem developed their way into a full song.
Lyrics
Verse 1 Cries the blood thata019s drawn from them, a01CWill there ever be a ceasefire?a01D Grieves the tears shed by them, a01CWill I ever see my new child?a01D Shouts the sweat that falls from them, a01CWill I rest within a while?a01D Will they be able to force a smile? Will they be able to force a smile? Chorus One nation under God, And still I forget to see No matter where you are You still work to keep us free (repeat) Verse 2 I might thank you with my words But how could I join you overseas Watching my brothers fall to earth Trembling as I drop to hands and knees Exclaiming, a01CWill there ever be peace?a01D Exclaiming, a01CWill the pain ever cease?a01D (chorus) Tag Cries the blood thata019s drawn from them, a01CWill there ever be a ceasefire?a01D Grieves the tears shed by them, a01CWill I ever see my new child?a01D Shouts the sweat that falls from them, a01CWill I rest within a while?a01D But yes, they're able to force a smile Because they have a cause worthwhile
