Welcome, and thank you for coming. My hope and prayer is that God will bless you as you listen to the music that I have recorded and want to share with you. Som
My first encounter with the keyboard was back in 1954, and thanks to the support of my loving parents (who funded my piano lessons for many years, and who somehow managed to weather the "storms" that blew in while I was practicing,) the expertise of my two piano instructors, Helen Fackiner (classical) and Richard Powell (jazz), the encouragement of friends, relatives, and fellow musicians, I have come a long way. Most of all, I am thankful to God for His lovingkindness and mercy, which is new every morning! The tunes you will find here consist of a mixture of traditional Christian hymns and original songs which I composed (with much help from above.) I recorded this collection of songs in order to glorify God and to edify the listener. I currently live in Southern California, with my loving wife Anne and two wonderful children, Holly Nicole and Paul Richard. My eternal habitation will be heaven, since by the grace of God, I was born again on August 16, 1968. I have strayed from the Way from time to time, but He has always been faithful to His promise to never leave nor forsake me. Without His grace, I would be doomed! But because of His grace to me, I am looking forward to a glorious eternal future, and am enjoying the abundant life that Jesus promised here and now. By the grace of God, He lives in me. Jesus did everything on the cross necessary to give me a right relationship to God and to Himself, and I can do nothing to make myself more loved by God than I am right now. My goal? To get to know Jesus Christ better and better every day. I am looking forward with great anticipation to the rapture of the Church, which I am hoping will be very, very, very soon! Ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart, and He will! Then you too will know for a fact where you will spend eternity! Praying a prayer similar to this one, meant from the heart, is all you need to do to be born again, to pass from death into life, and to change your citizenship from the kingdom of darkness to a citizenship in the Kingdom of Light: "God, I realize I need a Savior. I confess that I have sinned and I know that my sin will keep me out of heaven. I realize there is not one single thing I can do to earn my way into Your heaven. Right now I am placing all, 100 percent of my trust, in Christ’s death on the cross and resurrection from the dead as payment for my sin. I now accept you as my Lord and Savior, and I commit my life to you. Thank you for forgiving me and giving me your Holy Spirit." If you prayed this prayer, record today's date and rest in the assurance of spending eternity with God. Please e-mail me, also, if you have prayed this prayer, so that I can rejoice along with the angels of heaven that your name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life!

Story behind the song
"As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- 9not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." --Ephesians 2:1-10
Lyrics
Wonderful grace of Jesus, Greater than all my sin; How shall my tongue describe it, Where shall its praise begin? Taking away my burden, Setting my spirit free; For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me. Refrain Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus, Deeper than the mighty rolling sea; Wonderful grace, all sufficient for me, for even me. Broader than the scope of my transgressions, Greater far than all my sin and shame, O magnify the precious Name of Jesus. Praise His Name! Wonderful grace of Jesus, Reaching to all the lost, By it I have been pardoned, Saved to the uttermost, Chains have been torn asunder, Giving me liberty; For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me. Refrain Wonderful grace of Jesus, Reaching the most defiled, By its transforming power, Making him God’s dear child, Purchasing peace and heaven, For all eternity; And the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me. Refrain
