Special Thanks to Jarrod Headley!
Special thanks to Jarrod Headley of North Park Studios here in Colorado Springs. Jarrod is a wizard (actually he is the Grand Wizard of Northpark) when it comes to sound technician skills, the best by far I've ever seen in action! He is also an accomplished musician who plays drums, acoustic and electric guitar, bass, and midi keyboards. Jarrod also sings harmonies on most of my songs. He has added beautiful musical texture to these songs. I am very grateful for his friendship and help with the production, arrangement, and musicality that I hope you find on my site!

Lyrics for 'Receive!'
Giving with abundance like a waterfall in spring,
pouring out Your love and all the gifts you bring.
Shining all around us Your glory and grace,
raining down every day.
All we have to do is trust in You, open our hearts to receive…
Your love, Your grace, Your tender gaze,
Your peace, Your truth, and the wisdom of Your ways.
That can be the hard part, opening a heart,
Hardened by a lifetime of coping with pain
Living in a fortress that keeps us apart,
Built with the remnants of guilt and shame.
As we wake up every morning, every breath we take
We feel Your hand upon us every change we make.
As we lay down in the evening and drift off to sleep,
You’re the Good Shepherd, we’re Your sheep.
All we have to do is trust in You, open our hearts to receive…
Your love, Your grace, Your tender gaze,
Your peace, Your truth, and the wisdom of Your ways.
Sometimes I am like a blind child, clinging to Your hand,
please don’t let go.
Do not let me slip away, back into the night I pray, hold me close.
Bring me to the light of day, heal me with your balm of grace,
I would see Your face.
Giving with abundance like a waterfall in spring,
pouring out Your love and all the gifts you bring.
Shining all around us Your glory and grace,
raining down every day.
