4 days ago When I wrote this song I was trying to get my head around a very sad bereavement and not only needed to write a song about Lazarus, but also needed to memorise one of my favourite things that Jesus said found in John 11 verse 25. Just to balance out all the simple little Scripture Songs that I’m writing for you, for a while I’d also like to share with you one of my, how can I put it, favourite older ‘more substantial’ songs each Friday that many of you won’t know or will have forgotten.All the songs will be available to watch again on my Ishmaels…

Although you may feel this could be the worst Christmas present to give to a believer who is suffering from cancer, actually, as our ‘when the road is rough and steep’ testimony concert (which is about this book) have proved, it could be the most encouraging gift that they could receive. Being so totally honest about the fears and treatment effects, they will relate to so much of what is written and being so totally positive about Jesus being there with us through it all, we believe it will help to lift them spiritually. As you can see, we have kept the price really low because we so want those…

We cannot expect life to be easy in this world, but we can rejoice in the fact that Jesus has overcome it! For any interested. Please do take a look.

i’d like to say a BIG thank you because it seems that quite a few of you are still using some of my older songs. To show a little of my appreciation please do contact me if you are looking for a specific song of mine or looking for a song on a specific subject, Bible verse, Bible story or theme and I’ll see if I can find one for you….and also try and find the music and chords. I do have quite a few songs tucked away which may just be what you are looking for and some which I’m sure that you will not of heard. And remember,…

2 months have passed since my last live travelling concert and 2 things happen after such a long gap. The first is my nerves set in, am I still up to, and able to do these concerts?And the second (even more important) is the thought, if I’m not really needed nowadays, should I still be doing these concerts?
