Songs



As of 2026, I've begun writing and posting new original songs. These new songs (or updated versions of old ones) can be found here; my older hymns are listed further below. Each song is my original work and the words and music are subject to my copyright; see the production disclosure on each song's page for further information.


For several years prior, I engaged in a personal challenge to write a new hymn every week. Those songs are accessible below. Most of these hymns below are offered in basic form--lyrics and an unpolished vocal sample. In some cases, sheet music may be available; just get in touch with me.
