Being a creator of a song I get to take all these broken fragments of failure and chaos and weave together something beautiful and meaningful. Decay. Death. Pain. Fall. And if God is a songwriter then these fallen leaves of mine can be redeemed

Let me know that you hear me, let me know Your touch, let me know that You love me, and let that be enough

Sometimes the things that hurt are worth the pain.

It's really hard to fit a complex idea into a 3-minute pop song. And when you're dealing with issues that you're passionate about, usually they have various levels. And within a poem, you can get around the issue of space, and in a song the same way, by simply leaving holes and alluding to what you're talking about.

My challenge is, do not run away from the hard questions. Truly ask yourself what's worth living for in this life.

If we truly believe in an all-powerful God, then there's going to be beauty and truth to be found in all sorts of different places.

I'm always thinking about songs, I'm thinking of life maybe a little bit more lyrically than a computer programmer or someone like that.
