notes

A Place to Run is based out of Baltimore, Maryland. I go to Johns Hopkins University and do all of the instrumentation and writing myself. Why do I play? Well, God has blessed us with the gift of music, and I want to use this gift for Him. I write songs as a way of expressing what I'm going through inside and what God's doing in my life...so each lyric comes straight from my heart. Before you leave don't miss out on the best news ever (it's what my music is all about): Everyone has messed up before--some people call this sin. God in Heaven is holy and perfect, so all of us who are imperfect (which is everyone) couldn't live with Him. Nothing we could do on our own could make us perfect--we might be better, but not perfect. But because God loved us so much, He provided a way for us to live with Him. He sent his Only Son, Jesus Christ, to live a perfect life here on Earth and to die for us. Christ suffered enormously, being whipped and nailed to a cross--everything we deserved--in order to pay the sacrifice for our sin. The Bible says that in order for forgiveness of sins to take place, a sacrifice of infinite worth had to be made. That was Christ. So now, if you believe in what He did, God sees Christ in you, instead of your sin in you. All of your imperfection is gone and when you die, you'll be in Heaven with God.

    there are very few events in life that people will always remember where they were and what they were doing when this event came to pass. listening to A PLACE TO RUN was one of those moments for me. when the smooth, sexy riff of "ocean" came on i knew that i was in for something extraordinary. his angelic voice kept me entranced as it seemed like he was talking directly to me. i encourage you all to go out and buy this record, it will change your life as it did mine. A PLACE TO RUN showed me how to be a better person. i can only offer you my wisdom, it is up to you to follow it. buy this record and achive utter spiritual transcendence.

  • Beautifully Written

    This cd has 6 incredible songs. Each one has amazing and inspirational lyrics that even I can relate to. It is very beautifully written. I actually listen to it on my way to church every Sunday!

  • Great! Truly inspiring, really down to earth Christian lyrics.
    author: Shawn Fornear

    The CD is intensely personal, and every song seems to come straight from the heart. Also, the style is a blend unique to the Christian world: acoustic, emo, rock.
