Album Notes

"Worship the Newborn King" was written over the course of two years. I had never set out to record a Christmas album. One morning in June of 2008, however, I was asked by an adviser to consider writing some original Christmas music. I had never considered that before, but within a half-hour, I had written one song. Within two months, I had written and recorded seven songs. The final three songs were written over the next year and the album was complete. Thanks to Ryan Dahl at PraiseCharts Publishing for the suggestion and for the swift kicks in the pants to get this album done. Thanks, also, to my wonderful Wife, Melissa, who endured many late nights with me in my studio and many days with me humming song ideas around the house. I love you!

I hope you enjoy this album as much as I do. So much awe and wonder surround the story of Christmas; how the God of the universe reached out to creation with a resounding announcement that we are not alone. Emmanuel has come. God is with us.
