Eu Quero Ser Grato

Eu Quero Ser Grato (Piano Instrumental)

I wake up rumpled and unshaven
But I'm humbled and I'm thankful
For the beauty of Your creation
That's so serene and tranquil

I smell the eggs and bacon
Slip on my robe n sandals
Sit down at the table
Brain n eggs are scrambled

We pray and pause before we eat
And thank God for our daily bread
For the sound of little running feet
And for the roof above our heads

Thank You for Your provision
For our family and our friends
We ask You for forgiveness
God help us to make amends

We were lost and blind
You bore our shame
We wanna take this time
To praise Your name

We were imprisoned
Needin' forgiveness
We spoke Your name
You broke our chains

We need Your wisdom
We were imprisoned
Needin' forgiveness
You died n are risen

You bore our shame
We spoke Your name
You broke our chains
You broke our chains

You bore our shame
We spoke Your name
You broke our chains

We were lost and blind
You bore our shame
We wanna take this time
To praise Your name

You Broke Our Chains

“Live Again” is a heartfelt CCM song about regret, redemption, and the grace that meets us in the places we wish we could rewrite.
It’s a confession, a prayer, and a reminder that God’s mercy doesn’t just cover our past — it rewrites it.

This song is for anyone who’s looked back on their life and thought, *“If only I could start over.”*
It’s for the broken places… the missed chances… the moments we wish we could take back.

But more than anything, it’s about hope.
Because no matter where we’ve been, God gives us a new beginning — again and again.

**Thank you for listening.
If this song speaks to you, share it with someone who might need the reminder:
We don’t live in our past… we live in His grace.**



Live Again

"Courage of an Ananias" tells the lesser-known Damascus story from Acts 9 - not Paul's dramatic conversion, but the quiet courage of Ananias, an ordinary believer called to face his greatest fear.
When God asked Ananias to go find Saul (the man hunting down Christians), he had every reason to say no. But he said a prayer and went anyway.
Most of us won't experience blinding lights or visions on desert roads. But God calls us every day through whispers, nudges, and quiet promptings. This song asks the question: Do you have the courage of an Ananias?
Based on a sermon exploring Acts 9:10-18 and what it means to answer God's call in the everyday moments of life.

Don’t mean to be a stuffed shirt
You know I’m but dust and dirt
I don’t want my "just desserts”
Just want to know where I’m headin’

You’ve seen me at my worst
I’ll seek your kingdom first
May your will be done on earth
As it is in heaven

You’ve walked a mile in my shoes
You've been reviled and abused
So I’ll follow wherever you lead me
I’ll walk in your ways, all of my days
You’ll never forsake me or leave me

Where your truth takes root -- it bears great fruit
A huge tree begins with a little seedling
So here’s the good news, I may be battered and bruised
But I’ll be there in the midst of where you’re leading

You walk right beside me
To teach and to guide me
You abide with me
All of my days

You cue and remind me
Fine-tune and refine me
You’re familiar with
All of my ways

All of My Ways

Raised in Concrete Washington, I learned to play the guitar when I was 12 years old.  We had a music teacher by the name of Daryl Cooper who was like my older brother.  He started a guitar class and I couldn't wait to be in it.  By the 2nd or 3rd week I had probably outgrown the class but I enjoyed every minute of it.  I was in his band by the time I was 14 playing dances all over Western Washington.  I was awarded the National Choral Award Scholarship my senior year of high school.  This goes to one student in the United States.  I wasn't smart enough to use it.  I joined the United States Navy in 1979 and stayed for almost 22 years.  During that time I was a submariner and eventually the pilot of a small submersible (DSV3 Turtle) that would dive to 10,000 feet deep.  I was in bands playing guitar and singing throughout my military career.  We actually had a couple songs play on DC101 in the 80's.  Now in my 60's, I'm able to relax and write songs without any pressure or dreams of grandeur.  I like the songs I write and hope you like them too.
