The colors of your love are plain to see
In the pure white wool of the lamb
That was slain for me
And the bright red blood
That was shed to wash away
All of my sin
Now you see me covered in
The shades of grace
Thanks again to the amazing Nick Garrett-Powell for producing, recording, playing organ, bass, electric guitar and singing harmonies. We were also joined on this song by the legendary Jim Sitter on drums, and the superbly talented Alex Goldman on violin, thanks, Jim & Alex!!
“Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.” (Isaiah 1:18 NIV)

I wrote this song on December 2, 2009.
I wrote this song just before Christmas of 2009 to be a 1st wedding anniversary surprise for my wife, Jessica, as our anniversary was coming up in January of 2010. I kept it a secret from her and my good friend Nick Garrett-Powell and I got together down in Grants Pass a few days before Christmas to record it. We managed to record my guitar and vocals and Nick added a quick electric guitar, bass and programmed drum parts in less than a day, so that I could surprise Jessica with it on Christmas morning on her new iPod I had gotten for her.

1 New Single “Thank You: A Military Tribute”
Release Date: August 7, 2012
If Brandon Heath and Gary Sinise joined forces to create a military tribute song—this would be it. This song is an encouragement and thank you to all of our armed services that we are grateful for their service.
The new single, “Thank You: A Military Tribute”, is now available on iTunes, Amazon and CD Baby!
This is a tribute song I wrote for our troops who serve and sacrifice so that we can enjoy the freedoms of this country. Once again the amazing Nick Garrett-Powell recorded and produced this track as well as playing bass, electric guitar and singing harmonies. After more than 11 years I was able to join forces with the fantastic Jim Sitter on drums! Jim helped produce and play on many of my earlier recordings, the last being “Don’t Look Back”, and I was excited to be able to work with him again on this song.
We are planning on releasing an entire CD filled with similar tribute music, but this song will be featured early on my next full-length CD, “White.” This song is dedicated to my grandfather, Wayne Ray, who was with the 139th in WWII and my cousin, John Ray, who recently served in the Navy. Regardless of our feelings about the politics that might deploy them, we should thank and honor all of our troops for their service and sacrifice. Thank you to all of our armed services personnel!
“I know it’s not much, but this is all I have to say…
THANK YOU!”

Lyrics
Thank You
I hope these words might reach you today
Wherever you are before it’s too late to say
For I am grateful; words alone cannot convey
The depth of my gratitude to a stranger miles away
I know it’s not much compared with what you’ve done
I wish I had more to offer than just this song
But my words are few…
Thank you For all that you have given
Selfless sacrifice,
Paid the ultimate price
The life you set aside for mine
I can’t begin to pretend to know what it’s like
Not having walked in your shoes or stood a sentry line
To your deepest longing for your loved ones out of sight
Know that you’re not alone, you’re in our prayers tonight
Though it might not seem enough
For those who’ve been left behind I know
My prayers are lifted up
God comfort them and heal their broken hearts, oh-oh
Grant them peace in time
I know it’s not much
But this is all I have to say
Thank you
