This song is a conversation between myself and God. I wrote this song after a disagreement with my husband. I was feeling broken and hurt. I felt the sting of anger and disappointment breathing down my neck. I felt a pull towards depression, anxiety, and other darkness. In that moment, I was at a crossroads to give into that darkness, or allow God to create beauty from it. I gave it to God.

This song echoes that conversation. The chorus is God's response. It illustrates how we don't always see or know what God is doing behind the scenes of our lives, but that we need to rest assured that it is being done for our benefit. God wants us to trust Him through the process.

This is a beautiful worship song that I wrote a few years back in 2019. I went through where I was desperately looking for God to do something in my life. I didn't know what I needed, but I knew I needed Him to move and work in ways that only He could. At the same time, I was also wondering, "Lord what can I give you to say thanks for your faithfulness?" God reminded me that all He wants is a completely surrendered version of myself. He wanted me to completely pour myself out so that He could refill me with His spirit.

This song reminds us that God is for us and that He is running after us. He loves us with an everlasting love. No matter how hard life gets or how dark life feels or how hot things heat up to be around us, He has us. Satan has to flee at His name. Chaos is silenced in Jesus name. As His child, I will scream His name out and watch the enemy flee in seven different ways.

This song talks about how God has a heart to heal broken people.

In our brokenness we want to hide our hearts. We become consumed with grief. Although we know that God is faithful to heal and deliver us, we struggle to surrender.

This song illustrates the Call of God to His children to take a step of faith and to come towards Him.

The Altar is a place where we come face-to-face with God. It's there that hearts are altered, that faith is shifted, and that new life and freedom are found.

"When You Meet Us At The Altar," expresses what that experience looks like and how God changes our heart posture through obedience.

We serve a great God! He is faithful. He is constant. He is true. He is wonderful. His mercy endured and His salvation is for all generations. He has done great and mighty things. He has shown up in our personal lives and has moved spiritual mountains that seemed impossible.

He is great! He is greatly praised in all of the earth. Let's make His praises loud! He deserves it!

Life is a gift that should be celebrated, in particular the life of Jesus should be celebrated. This is a Christmas focused song that seeks to put into perspective that the reason for this season is Jesus. To reflect Jesus, we need to be His hands and feet. We are called to bless each other in Jesus' name. Instead of focusing on gifts around the tree, focus on the gift of life.

Life is precious and we should never take it for granted. Instead, celebrate it!

My name is Ashley Carter. I am thirty-three years old and I reside in Conroe, Texas. My husband, David, and I have been married (almost) seven years. He blessed me with a bonus daughter who recently turned forteen, and since we married we have added two more daughters who are five and almost four. 

David and I both have a background with music. she gears more towards Christian rap, while I enjoy a more intimate/contemporary worship style.

I came to know Jesus at a young age. From my early teens, God led me to begin writing songs and poetry. I have stored up lyrics for over twenty years, and I feel like God is finally allowing me to release them.

***I am not singing these songs. I wrote them and used AI to add the vocals. One day, I will record them for myself .. but this is my first step as a creator and songwriter.
