Lyrics:
My confidence is grounded in the Savior of all mankind Jesus Christ
With diligence in keeping His commandments I shall obtain eternal life
If I am faithful striving to be like Him I'll stand with Him in the celestial day
Crowned with the glory borne of His suffering I shall enter into His glorious kingdom
To hear God say well done thou good and faithful servant enter into my rest

Story:
"My Confidence Is Grounded In My Savior" (Summer 2008)
I am one of those "weird" musicians that actually HAS some musical training! For a long time, my major in college was music, with an emphasis in theory and composition. Too bad professional musicians can't feed six mouths (hence the website!), oh well...Anyway, my list of absolute, beat-all, favorite composers is very short: Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Rachmaninoff. And lately, "Brother Felix" has been occupying all of my musical mind. I recently bought a book of Mendelssohn's "Songs Without Words" and have absolutely devoured it, to the point of driving my wife crazy ("Okay honey, enough classical, you can go back to composing again")! This piece is adapted from one such piano work, with lyrics by me. Hope you forgive me for a little classical music? :)
