Guitar-oriented rock is my trademark. In addition to being an active lover of rock and rock themes, I am also a religious person.
I showcase my love of hymns at least once a month in my local church as a counterpoint to up-tempo, energetic rock and roll.
Perhaps an unusual combination, but this one suits me perfectly.Hymns are an important part of my worship experience. They provide a common language for Christians around the world and connect us to believers throughout history. When we join together in song, we proclaim our faith and build up our community of believers.

As The Deer

Verse 1
As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after Thee
You alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship Thee
You alone are my Strength, my Shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship Thee.

Verse 2
You’re my Friend and You are my Brother
Even though You are a King
I love You more than any other
So much more than anything
You alone are my Strength, my Shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship Thee.

Verse 3
I want You more than gold or silver
Only You can satisfy
You alone are the real joy-giver
And the apple of my eye
You alone are my Strength, my Shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship Thee.
