This track is an old school jam straight out of Chattown. Featuring Michelle Higgins and J-Dub on the keys.

Walk The Talk

One day for our staff prayer meeting, my pastor, Barry Henning, asked if we could sing this hymn by Isaac Watts. I was struck by the excellent content of the words, but I was disappointed by the music. After the meeting, I went straight to my office and wrote a new melody and added a refrain. The verse text that Watts created never fails to hit me like truck. I like it so much that I named the CD, "Guardian Grace" which appears in the 4th verse.

Jesus My Great High Priest

My name is Kirk Ward, and Jesus Christ has made me a new creation. From a very young age, I learned how to act like a Christian without really being one. So when Jesus captured my heart, I was saved from my own religious self-righteousness and back-door idolatry.

I learned to play music, write songs and play the guitar when I was just a kid. My father is a songwriter and performer, and so I grew up in a diverse and stimulating musical atmosphere. After I received a bachelor’s degree in jazz performance at the University of Tennessee, I started teaching guitar and leading worship in Chattanooga, TN.

I fell in love with Sarah, and we were married. Now we live in St Louis, MO where I am the music director for New City Fellowship. Joanna and Samuel came along, and now I am a father of two.
