I lift my hands to believe again. You are my refuge. You are my strength. As I pour out my heart, these things I remember, You are faithful, God, forever.

Remember: In the end, you're not living to impress your friends or your relatives or your coworkers. All of life is for Jesus.

Worship isn't a feeling you wait for, it's a choice you make.

I remember being in church. We would do the live nativity in my little town and I remember pulling the sheep. I was the shepherd, so I was pulling the sheep around town, down Main Street. I thought that was the most awesome, coolest thing ever.

The worship leader God is after is the one whose heart is captured by Him.

When I write songs, I try to write in a way to reach as many people as I can, to be a lighthouse versus a flashlight.

The band and I were leading at a Youth Specialties convention. We were asked to back up Matt Maher for one of the sessions. Matt handed us the chord charts and, with less than 5 minutes of practice, we were playing it live. I fell in love with this song immediately. You can't hear the message of God's sufficient grace too many times. Matt is a great lead worshiper and is a part of Life Teen, a growing worship movement in the Catholic Church.
