After writing 20-30 songs I had hoped would be the basis for our third record, I came to a horrible conclusion. They were no good. It was that simple… they just weren’t anything we hadn’t done before, and they didn’t say anything we hadn’t said before. So I took two days off to pray and wait. The prayer was simple: "Lord what am I supposed to do now… what do you want me to sing about?" On the second day, my answer came in one of the most clearly audible messages I had ever heard from God.
It’s scary when you wake up and realize that you’ve nearly missed it all. You’ve been so numb that the scripture you quote becomes just a heartless answer to another dull question. So tired that your worship songs become a string of meaningless words that are hardly worship. And for me, it’s always been because I lost sight of what mattered and began running a race that I could never win. Just as the corporate world begs for people who love to climb, so does the music business world. I am by nature a person who LOVES to climb.
