Worship songs are my greatest challenge - especially when I attempt more lyrical, rhythmic and melodic accessibility." I think you do alright on the worship side Dan, I've got lots of mileage out of your stuff. And I did have a few seconds of glee when Eleanor Mumford asked me if I'd written, "All You Are" when I lead worship at a Pastor's meeting in Scotland. I hesitated, wishing that it was mine, but had to give credit where it was due and said, that some American/Canadian fella had penned it :D “For me personally, artful songs like this one are the easiest to write.

Rich, actually, a bit different, but not radically so. Still the same labors over chords, sounds, melody and lyric. For me personally, artful songs like this one are the easiest to write. Worship songs are my greatest challenge - especially when I attempt more lyrical, rhythmic and melodic accessibility. Then again, all that is changing... Indeed Brad.
