One of my co-writers is Irish lyricist Buddy Sutton...Buddy has a way of turning the scripture into poetry...this is an excerpt from Psalm 31 that Buddy faithfully captured in the lyric of this song...it is always an honor when he asks me to set to music his beautiful lyrics (though Buddy would say that the psalmist had a lot to do with it)...so...if you do...thanks for listening...Dan

Christian lyrics are generally not for me, but this is really a beautiful song.

The best part (as always) is your vocal performance, you have a great voice.
And the arrangement and production are great too.
Well done!

Dan, as usual this is an outstanding Christian song.
Super collaboration, maybe between all three of you wink
Loved the song, the vocal, mix, and especially the message.


It takes courage for a man to admit his wife was wrong.

You never fail to amaze Dan. This is really a good song, and I love the production. Professional all the way. The way this song builds is a model of perfection. I loved the guitar into, the strings, drums and bass etc. You did a great job of bringing them in slowly as the song built and created such a full sound. I also liked the way you chose to end the song - that sounded really good and I didn't expect that type of ending. It did, however provide what I think is my only nit in any of your projects. At the very end of the song, right at about 4:37, I think something got cut late. It sounds like someone "sniffs" or takes a breath. It's not very prominent and you have to listen closely to hear it, but that's a problem with making such good music, you've always got me listening closely! I love listening to your stuff man.

Hey Brad...thanks for the heads up...you're right there's a glitch at the very end...sounds like a "sniff"...I think I fixed it and while I was there I shortened the ending by a measure...that's better...thanks for paying attention...Dan

Well, that's odd. I was here before and even commented, but probably left before pushing Submit. I came back for another listen, and possibly add to my previous comment. Enough about me, huh? Buddy and Dan, this is such a good song. Dan, you are so consistent with writing and producing such wonderfully warm sounds. Lyrics: uplifting and inspirational. Melody: engaging. I like the way you build a song with dynamics and often modulation. Thanks for sharing your talents here, Dan & Buddy.


Enjoy whatever happens!
