Few praise and worship songwriters reach the pinnacle of recognition that Kirk and Deby Dearman have with their song, "We Bring the Sacrifice of Praise." Translated into every major language and sung in churches around the world, the song ranked in the Top Ten for ten straight years on the charts of CCLI (Christian Copyright Licensing International.)

In addition to "We Bring the Sacrifice of Praise," Kirk and Deby have written such worship classics as, "Instruments of Your Peace," "All Creation Worships You," and "Commune With Me." Their songs have been recorded by Integrity Music, Maranatha!Music, Promise Keepers and many are now found in contemporary hymnals. They've also had their songs recorded on popular Messianic music projects.

Kirk is a gifted psalmist and worship leader whose style is best described in such terms as "contemplative," "intimate," "healing," and a "washing" in God's presence. After having walked through seasons of testing, Kirk & Deby have learned the true meaning and value of what it is to live "the sacrifice of praise." Out of such times they have written songs that have carried many through their darkest hour.

Kirk has several worship projects to his credit. He is also a very gifted, award-winning piano artist and has recorded a popular solo piano instrumental series called "The Calm," along with a number of other much-loved solo piano projects.

The Dearmans toured and lived in Europe for seven years. They co-founded a performing arts company called Creative Arts Europe that toured cathedrals with worship. They've led worship for various conferences and seminars, including The Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove, the Christian Celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem, and have also performed numerous concerts in German, Holland, England and Belgium.

Kirk and Deby presently reside in Franklin, TN.

I am a regular guy with two key interests -- a missionary journey, and a music hobby. When I encounter or make something I like, I share it here. I like to share. These songs and words are (mostly) mine; once in a while, I include a lot of words from the Bible, which are (obviously) not mine. If you like anything here enough to use it, you'll notice that I've allowed for that. Enjoy!
