If Wood Could Weep tells the crucifixion story from an unexpected voice — the cross itself. Imagining the timber that carried Jesus up the hill, the song reflects on what it might have felt holding the weight of the Savior of the world.

From the long walk to Calvary… to the moment Love was lifted high… the cross becomes a witness to mercy, sacrifice, and redemption. What was meant to be an instrument of death becomes the throne of glory.

Haunting, reverent, and worshipful, this song invites listeners to stand at the foot of the cross and remember the cost — and the mercy — of that day.

“If only wood could weep.”

If Wood Could Weep

This is a song to listen to when you don't want to go to work 

I hate my dayjob

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.
