Album Notes

“Hey, Holy Nation!” is the nearest I am likely to come to a, “Greatest hits album,” as it includes the songs I have found most effective in corporate worship. As for myself, I am a church musician first and last although in times gone by I have played in pubs, clubs and restaurants earning my living from my guitar. I have survived bar room brawls and suffered the usual, “I can make you a star,” offers. To put bread on the table I teach kids to play. What else? Oh yes, I am married with three kids who have flown the nest but who are still talking to me so I suppose I did all right as a father.

My hopes for the future? Well I seem a bit long in the tooth to become Scotland’s next pop star so I think I’ll stick to writing user friendly praise songs. If you want to use them in your church then I would be delighted, just remember to include them in your annual report to CCLI. If you need a praise song based on a particular passage of scripture I would be happy to put my God given gift at your service. I also make some guitars, preach the odd sermon, dabble in historical writings and compose instrumental pieces for guitar and piano.

If on your spiritual journey you are at that place where you are wondering if Jesus could be the real deal but still have a few questions then drop me a line.

Full musical support is offered through my web site www.easyhymn.com where you will find lyrics, chords and lead sheets for all songs.

May Jesus be with you.

John
