Well, actually not a new song... This is the first song I ever had published and recorded. I wrote it back in 1983, while I was still the minister of music at Lakewood Church in Houston. It's been recorded by a lot of different artists, but I never have recorded it myself. So I thought I should recorded, since I wrote it! I hope you enjoy it. It's a Praise chorus, called He Reigns On High. All the instruments are BIAB Realtracks & Realdrums. I did all the vocals.

Praise the Lord, Worship His majesty

One thing have I desired, oh Lord
That I may dwell in Your house forever
That I may always see Your beauty
And know the fulness
Of Your power

Have a great day!

Steve,

As always, great job! I love the groove and the uplifting message. Also, I enjoy hearing someone skilled at arrangements in Real tracks, not just the chord progressions but the use of pushes and breaks. I can see why you were published. I'm sure the other artist did you proud, but you sure presented your song well.

Thanks again,
RodM

Congrats on the cuts - not easy to get.

Well done Steve.

RodM,

Thanks very much for your kind words! This song was pretty "contemporary" for back in the early 80's praise music, but now it's pretty dated. So I worked a little bit with the pushes, etc, to update it a little bit. Integrity/Hosanna was the first "big" release of this one, with my friend Lamar Boschman singing it, and it's hard to criticize much of anything they do. I was very honored by their production. I'm glad you like my update!

Josie,

As always, thank you very much for your comments! You are showing your age if you admit to remembering those Integrity specials! (But then again, you were probably 3 or 4 years old - just an incredible memory!)

Thanks again!

John,

Thanks so much! I do still get a few hundred $'s a year on this one. Not too bad considering the song is going on 30 years old. The first several years after I wrote it, I was getting... more!

Thanks again!

Steve,

Thanks so much for your kind words. And amen, brother! While I may enjoy, and write all different kinds of music, my first love (musically) is praise and worship music. I would be nothing without Him!

Thanks again,

Steve

Steve ..
what they all said!

This sounds familiar... I may have somebody else's version of this song in my CC music collection. You remind me somewhat of Don Moen. I especially appreciate the fact that you use your talent as a ministry. I'm sure the obedience of faith has left a path of blessing in its wake.

I can see I'm going to have to keep a closer watch on any songs posted by you...


I look forward to hearing more.
