"The guitar music came first with this song - quite unusual for me - the reality is that I was messing with the guitar trying to learn to play in a more classical style. I didn't get very far when the song took over!"

Lord you have opened my eyes

"I had been one of the leaders of the Alpha course at my church for several years. One course had the theme "Our God is a Mighty Warrior" and I was asked to sing in the service that was to introduce the course. This is the song I wrote for the service."

Mighty Warrior

"2008-2011 have been the hardest years of my life. I ended up with depression that I would not acknowledge believing it to be just stress. I couldn't go through one day without crying. I finally admitted that the depression was mainly rooted in unresolved issues from the marriage breakup 25years earlier!! Added to that was the death of my Mum and stress at work. I began to admit that my children had been the reason I was alive but now they were adults and left hiome my reason to live had gone too. Crying in the shower I started singing this song for the first time."

My Reason to Live

""Everywhere you place your foot I will give you" was God's promise to Joshua and listening to Joyce Meyer I was reminded that in order to benefit from that promise I needed to actually place my foot - to move, to step out in faith. If I stand still, how can God act - His action is dependant on my action in faith - So I will "step in faith""

Step in Faith

"This is my interpretation of the last verse of "In the bleak mid winter" "

Gold for a King

"The Minister at my church asked me to sing at a service he was leading where he intended to wash our feet. It was the perfect opportunity to mix the two scenes - to see myself with Jesus and the disciples and then bring myself back to the reality of sitting with my friends and see Jesus there also."

The Upper Room

"I wrote this song over several days riding on the 15 bus on my way to and from work! It so got into my head I could think of nothing else and even now when I sing it I get a tingling down my spine at its haunting melody."

It is Finished

"This song has its origins on Holy Island. Taking communion I was suddenly overwhelmed by what Jesus had done for me. John 3 v 16 had always been a precious verse and it was lovely to incorporate it into this song."

God so Loved the World

The Path of Prayer

"These are three of five songs that were written in one week the other two beng track 4 and 14. They were my response to God beginning to lead me out of my depression. My shame is that I did not hold fast enough to God's promise and ended up slipping backwards. It was almost another year before God rescued me from that pit."

Pure Joy

My Joy is Complete in Him

"This song was the last to be written in the week mentioned above. I used to sing myself to sleep every night with this song. "
