If you've found your way here, you may already know that my name is Bill and I enjoy writing songs about God. If you did not know that, well now you do. I hope to be faithful with the songs I write. I'm not sure I know how to do that, but I think this website is a start. It contains the lyrics, chord charts, mp3's, even the stories behind the songs. And it is all free to you. So look around. Enjoy. And thanks for stopping by.

One of my favorite parts of the Bible is found in the book of Isaiah, chapters 40-49.
In it, we get a pictures God flexing His muscles before the Israelites. They have, again, slipped into worshiping false idols and gods. And in these chapters God looks at them and says, "Are you kidding me?! Other gods? Who made the heavens and the earth? Who made you? Who sustains you? Who set you apart? Who has saved your little behinds time and time again? Was it one of the other gods? No. There is no 'other' God. I have no equal. I AM God. Alone. Just Me. No other. So, you best turn to Me now and be saved, for it is in deed My splendor that is your salvation."
Isaiah 46:8-10 is a perfect example of this...
"Remember this, fix it in mind, take it to heart, you rebels. Remember the former things, those of long ago? I am God and there is no other. I am God and there is none like Me. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times to what is still to come."
Later in Isaiah 48:11, He continues...
"For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this. How can I let myself be defamed? I will not yield my glory to another."
This is a jealous God. This is a righteous God. This is a God Who has no problem puffing out His chest and gloating of His power and His glory and His supreme standing as Lord of heaven and earth. Why? Because this is a God Who knows that it is ONLY in our heartfelt acknowledgment of His power and His glory and His supreme standing as Lord of heaven and earth that our salvation...that our life...can truly be found.
Bragging on Himself may just be the most selfless thing God could ever do. Because His love and His grace will mean nothing to us if we do not have a deep appreciation of His power and His glory and His supreme standing as Lord of heaven and earth.
