Everyone Gets to Play
This song was written in 2012 by Andrew Gould. He was reading Psalm 63 and so he figures that really the words aren’t exactly his. He did a recording of it sometime back, but then rewrote the tune; this is the new version. Andrew is on vox and his Larrivee acoustic, Tanya plays keys, Ian… Continue reading My Soul Will Be Satisfied (Psalm 63)
Jesus Alone Chord Chart (pdf) Jesus Alone Chord Chart (Word doc) This song was written as I thought about Jesus’ death and resurrection and His claims that if you had seen Him you had seen the Father. Further to this is the opening of John’s gospel – ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the… Continue reading Jesus Alone
The origin of this short story is a bit strange, even for me. When I sent it to my daughter to read I wrote … I woke up this morning with the first phrase of this story in my head and then I ran the dialogue along as I lay in bed… and then I… Continue reading An uncertain Dream
I wrote this piece of music after hearing a student at school play a jazz piece. I thought, if they can write a jazz type piece, could I?

I hadn’t intended to even write a song as I recall, but it is amazing what comes out of a person when you sit down and pour out your heart.… Continue reading Running Free
I was playing around once again with dropped d tuning which ended up in just being immersed in His wonderful presence. So its no wonder that the the words of this chorus resound with “Holy Holy Lord God Almighty” Tanya backs me with her vocals and Ian smooth-hand Gould does a whole lot of other… Continue reading Holy
