My new Album
March 27th, 2014
Good Day Friends,
I am excited to offer to God and you, my new album, “The Twelve”. It was recorded at home to avoid the costs of studio time. Each song is about one of the twelve apostles who followed Jesus Christ and changed the entire world.
My friend, Pastor Ian Lamont at Trinity Presbyterian Church on Hilton Head Island, SC where I lead worship, is currently doing an incredible sermon series on the life of the apostles. When I opened up my mouth and said, “It would be great to write a song each week to go along with your teaching”, he took me up on the offer! Within one month I had all twelve songs finished. Each song was a gift from the Holy Spirit.
After the album was finished Ian said to me that he was also going to preach on the Apostle Paul and Matthias, (added to the apostolic band after Judas died). I wrote one for Matthias and hopefully with God’s help will compose Paul’s song, but they won’t make it on this album…thanks Ian. ;)
With over a hundred songs having written, I turned to my beautiful bride, Jeanne and asked, “It’s great that God is giving me all these songs, but what is He going to do with them?” To which Jeanne replied, “Probably nothing if you don’t record them for Him and others to enjoy.”
My desire is that these songs on “The Twelve” as all the others to come would “out live my life” as Max Lucado says. One day I will be gone, but these songs will continue to bring God glory! Perhaps others will sing them to their children and grandchildren or in church or simply listen and worship Jesus.
May these songs bring you the blessings that God desires to give you and may the peace of God be with you and remain with you always.
In Christ Alone, Michael
