This is a song I wrote with my friend Ed Rotheram. We were lucky enough to have the one and only Sarah Reeves sing on this song, and her husband, Philip Kothlow produced. You can download this song for FREE on Noisetrade here: http://noisetrade.com/itisfinished

It Is Finished (featuring Sarah Reeves)

This is the first time I was able to lead the first original worship song from Grace Church of Overland Park. This is a simple, rough recording off of my cell phone, which was placed in the back of the church. Hopefully we will have a legit recording soon, but I am super proud of our songwriting team and I wanted to share this. Written by Ben AbuSaada, Ben York, Chris Olson, Jaeky Spencer, Joseph Wilson and Josh Canady.

All I Need - Live @ Grace Church of Overland Park

Just trying out a new guitar part I came up with for Noel by Chris Tomlin (feat Lauren Daigle), and I was digging the tone, so I figured I'd share it with a few friends. 2014 US Deluxe Tele, bridge pup, S1 engaged, Paisley Drive, Triple Delay (quarter and dotted 8th), RV6 with mod, PRS 2 Channel H amp head (low, low volume) with a little onboard reverb, into an Egnater Rebel 112 cab. 

Noel - guitar part - scratch

This is a cover of a song written by David Hodges, titled The Beauty and the Tragedy (recorded by David's old band, Trading Yesterday).  Jeff Stocks and I played at Parkside Coffeehouse on Friday, Oct 5th and performed this song.  This is a rough recording of that performance.  I am on vocals and acoustic, Jeff on electric guitar.  All song credit goes to David.  No copyright infringement intended.

Beauty and the Tragedy (Cover)

This is a song I wrote with my buddy Scott Sidusky.  We've been doing it at my church fairly regularly, and this is a live recording from the first time we did it at church.  Audio quality isn't fantastic, and the vocal performance isn't top notch on this particular day, but hopefully you get the idea.  :)

You Are the Lord (LIVE)

New song co-written with Kelly Puckett.  This is a raw recording from a live performance of the song at Parkside Coffeehouse in April 2013.  You can see the video here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3N79tI8xzZA  

Love is Waiting (Live)

An original tune.  This song came out of a time of realizing that without God's grace and help, there is no way I can even attempt to live out my life as I should. I need God. We all do! Music and lyrics by Chris Olson. Recorded live at Parkside Coffeehouse April 2013.  

Can't Live Up (Live)

This is a song I wrote with my friend, Wisdom Moon.  It was written out of a time of doubt and fear in Wisdom's life (something we are all faced with), as he was faced with a major life decision and didn't really know how to proceed. In the end, he decided to follow the Lord's leading, even though the path before him wasn't clear yet.  Through all things, no matter the circumstances, we can trust and follow the Lord.

Holy Are You (Feat. Kelly Puckett)

I am a Christ follower, husband, father, worshipper, worship pastor and songwriter.  This is where I share some of the songs I've written, most of which are written with friends.  Be sure to read the descriptions to find out who was involved.  Thanks for listening!
