Let Him Be – October 8, 2025. A hard rock song about a male lover trying to convince a woman he loves to leave her live-in fiancé and move in with him because she’s living in an unloving and abusive relationship. He wants her to leave the man and move in with him.

He has discovered that she’s never left his hometown. While she was the eye of his affection growing up, he never had to the nerve to tell her how much he cared for her, never asked her out on a date.
Charlie’s Beacon Shines Bright! – October 4, 2025. My second tribute song to Charlie Kirk, who was tragically murdered on September 10, 2025. “Charlie’s Beacon Shines Bright” sings about how Charlie’s beautiful life did not end with his murder, but instead the way he lived his life is paying off big dividends after his tragic death. He will forever live on in the hearts and souls of millions who want to see Turning Point live long after Charlie’s death. New people of faith are returning to the Church, baptisms are up, and even in his afterlife, Charlie’s messages continue to live on and turning more young people towards Christ. In other words, Charlie’s Beacon still shines as brightly today as it did before his death.
Burning With Desire – October 2, 2025. Acid Rock love song, with male lover professing he’s fallen for this “golden angel” and has a burning desire for her. Best rock song I’ve written to date. Great lyrics, awesome electric guitar riffs.
First Breath of Forever – October 1, 2025 – A beautiful song about a brand new father being in the delivery room for the birth of his first baby, a newborn son, and how it instantly changed his life forever. For all the Dad’s out there that have experienced the same moment — this one’s for you.
When Shadows Fall – September 30, 2025 – A song about grief and turning to God to get you through. This song tells the story of a young widow and a young widower who crashed into one another in a horrific traffic accident, killing everyone on board but the drivers (the woman in one car, the man in another). Both have lost their families and individually go to our Lord nightly, still seeking answers as to why they had to lose their loved ones, and receiving comfort from talking openly to God and praying for strength to get through the grief and pain of losing the people loved most in life — their individual spouses and children. Song as a duet led by the widow, the song gives us incite into how from their separate homes and cities, they have not given up on our Lord yet, like so many people often do when stuck in their daily heartaches, pain, grief and nightmarish horror.
With Grace Renew This Broken Land – September 30, 2025. A Praise and Worship song that begins in the a natural setting, where animals come to gather near a pond in the evening and listen to the symphony of sounds made by crickets, frogs and other creatures of the night. It recognizes that in nature, our world is still largely the same, as animals have done nothing to destroy the world we live in, yet outside the boundaries of this safe and peaceful setting is a different world, one filled with crime, disgrace and hate. And so it is that through the recognition of the deteriorating world around us, outside the boundaries of this natural setting, this beautiful duet sings their wishes and desires for our Heavenly Father to come back to Earth and light our way, requesting God’s grace and renewal of our broken land, restoring it anew with his mighty hand.
Oh, Sing of His Love – September 30, 2025. A Praise and Worship song that’s also a great Christmas season song. I’ve always felt that proof of God surrounds us every day, particularly thru the miracle of birth and in the angelic faces of children all around the world. Over 30 years ago I wrote a poem about this very subject and decided add a Chorus, an Outro and make a few minor edits to create, in the end, one of the most beautiful songs I’ve written. I’m confident you will love this song.
