I bring my guilt to Jesus, To wash my crimson stains White in His blood most precious Till not a stain remains, Till not a stain remains. I lay my wants on Jesus, All fullness dwells in Him; He healeth my diseases He doth my soul redeem, He doth my soul redeem I long to be with Jesus, Meek, loving, lowly, mild; I long to be like Jesus The Father’s holy child, The Father’s holy child. I long to be with Jesus Amid the heav’nly throng, To sing with them His praises, And learn the angels’ song. And learn the angels’ song. GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!! AMEN!!!!!!!!  less

I am proud of my musical colleagues for putting these videos together. I thank them for their loyalty to our fans and their fellow choir members, and for their diligence in preparing individual performances to such a demanding degree of musicianship. We all share an understanding of how important it is right now to share the joy of song with the world. Joined by my wife Holly and all the members of the Stairwell Carollers, we wish you peace and joy this Christmas season. We will perform live for you once again soon.
