Details:
Derek''s music transcends the stressors of the moment like an ice-breaker in a frozen sea. Melodic, soothing, deeply personal and authentic music from his heart to God''s heart, and to yours. These songs were written in the Himalayas and are inspired by Derek''s passionate heart to love his God in the midst of difficulties and uncertainties. Derek and his family of 5 lived in the Nepal for four years and he wrote and sang these songs of worship and encouragement usually to one heart at a time. A friend dropping by, or brought to his home by another who had been touched by Derek''s music.
All of the songs on this album are peaceful and reflective, melodic and worshipful. Just Derek and the piano, or guitar. Derek''s heart is to encourage and tend the hearts of people that cross his path. He and his wife tend the hearts of missionaries with encouragement and listening, laughing and crying together. Doubling the joy, and halving the sorrow.
Derek is no stranger to hardship. His first wife died shortly after giving birth to their third child. Many of his songs are embellished with empathy and deep understanding. Take a journey with him as you listen to these songs. Take the hand of God, or at least see him reaching for you tenderly, as you listen.
Derek''s other albums include The Shepherd''s Heart, with many of these songs written after Jenny''s death. Another album of tender and sincere praise and encouragement is Deeper Than Before, with an intentional focus on the sending hearts to remember and care for the missionaries they send.
Derek''s music is deep. Not trendy, and not for those who believe faith is all about "bless me God because I deserve it." It plunges beneath the surface of the heart, to the deep chambers of love, innocence, pleas for mercy and redemption. And Derek''s music champions the hope that redemptive grace can be found.
