A great upbeat song about the effect of God's love in the heart of a person. What great words! I kept the melody the same but changed the time signature from a waltz to an upbeat 4/4 - it seemed happier this way!

A wonderful old hymn about the joys that await in heaven. Much of the imagery is taken from Revelation 21 and 22 - jasper walls, trees of life bearing fruit, the river flowing from the throne, Jesus holding our crowns in his hands. Wonderful stuff, and a beautiful wistful melody. This one will speak to your soul!

This is a stunning hymn about the saving grace of Jesus! My bandmates and I gave it a real mellow acoustic feel.

My CrossRoad band mates helped me rock up this old hymn a bit. What a great song of praise and worship that we can still sing with joy today!

A beautiful song about the glorious future that God's children will enjoy in his presence in heaven. What a wonderful day that will be!

This powerful song was probably used during altar calls in the early days. It is a call to turn to God because time is short! A lovely song and one that is still fitting for us today.

A country/western classic! The words are very much early holiness movement words, proclaiming how good it is to have left behind the land of unbelief and sin, and live by faith with the blessing full salvation. Hallelujah!

The classic Charles Wesley hymn "Love Divine". These are great words of holiness! Reformed churches normally change 'second rest' to 'blessed rest', and 'bent to sinning' to 'love of sinning'. But Wesley was all about perfection and perfect cleansing. What a song! It doesn't get much better than this.

A wonderful hymn about the blood of Jesus, written by Civilla D. Martin and W. Stillman Martin.

Song 3 in the Church of the Nazarene's 1914 hymnal 'Canaan Melodies' is a stunning song about Jesus' offer of friendship, written by Major Ludgate, tune by Stephen Collins Foster.

Written by Rev. E Hilton Post, Arthur F Ingler, this is another song celebrating God's sanctifying grace. What a joy to sing "glory hallelujah my soul is sanctified!" and "I have the second blessing, from sin my soul is freed!"

I had my CrossRoad bandmates join me to give it a real upbeat feel.

I love this song! I can't stop singing it with joy!

Written by J. Glenn Gould and Arthur F. Ingler, this is a rich song which celebrates the 'second blessing' of sanctification - salvation to the uttermost.

It calls all believers to leave their sinful wastelands and enter into their own Promised Land by faith!

Great song and a catchy tune, I can't stop singing it since I recorded it.
