Our Songs
Dear friends,
We have prepared this offering of songs with one goal in mind. We pray that listening to them, you will be blessed and maybe even inspired. A number of these songs are quite contemplative, so there are moments when we hope you will just be able to rest and “soak” in the knowledge that God really loves you… Just remember, a work of art is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. You are His work of art, His masterpiece. (Eph 2:10) (NLT) It makes no human sense how much He was willing to pay to get us back. So, we hope you will soak that up and let your heart just dance before the Lord in a quiet and Simple Offering to Him.
Go to our shopping "shop" page for a document with short introductions for each song and you can also download chord charts for all the songs if you're so inclined.

And, to the man whom I consider my best friend on the planet.
The amount of gratitude to Michael cannot possibly be expressed in mere words.
He put as much time, energy and love into this project as I did (probably more than I did) and gave us unlimited access to his amazing studio. Countless hours of digital editing fixing up our mistakes and inadequacies, plus scores of great ideas. Thank you more than we can possibly say Michael!
Special thanks to Robin Crow and his staff at Darkhorse Recording for
their wonderful hospitality and amazing facility.

Dan recorded this album in 1975 and 1976 during periods when they (The Joyous Celebration) were not on tour. He had several of the Joyous Celebration members help with arrangements, vocals, playing some of the instrumental tracks, and lending support. Mili actually sang some backup vocals. She and Dan had just met.
