Here's the story of my path to faith..... in song........

In His Wonderful Name

One day I walked into this church. I heard the preaching of His word.

My heart was broken, and I knew that I was lost.

So on my knees I did lay. Repent from sin , there on that day,

and trust the Lord to save my soul and He did.

Amen to that , a brand new life. Proclaim in the name of Jesus Christ.

A shining light, a beacon bright for the world to see.

Then everything done in His Wonderful Name.

Preach the Word, simple and plain.

All we have, all we give, all we say, His will Obey.

And so I close my eyes and smile, and meditate a little while.

Then a tear of victory He died and rose for humanity.

I know someday He'll look on down, while at His feet we'll place our crowns.

And with Jesus there we'll be , forever loving you and me.

I was raised in a good home where strong morals and family values were a way of life. My mom took care of us kids , while my dad worked.

As a teenager, I spent 2 years as a guide through Boy Scouts in Canada, which gave me a deep appreciation for nature and God's marvelous creation. My Scout Master taught us Christian values, but I did not know the Lord personally.

As I grew into my college years, school was OK but music was better , so I decided to sing full time and was kept very busy in the local circuit.

I met my wife while playing out of town and it was while visiting her that I heard my first true gospel message at an old fashioned Bible preaching church. I was so convicted I couldn't wait to talk with the preacher. I prayed that afternoon for the Lord to save my soul and He did!

After accepting Christ as my Saviour, my whole life change. My desire to sing about His grace, love and mercy started to flow, which birthed my first "Christian" song, Another Blessed Day!

Since then I have written over 20 original songs testifying of the Lord as I have grown in Bible knowledge. I want to make sure the songs are biblically in line and have messages in them to share my faith.

I pray the Lord will use the music to draw people closer to Him. After all , He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords..and He is worthy of ALL our praise......Amen!

Norm spent two years as a wilderness guide at the Boy Scouts' Tinnerman Canoe Base in Canada

Norm's newest song reflects his faith

as life changes.....

In the arms of Jesus, I heard my baby cry

In the arms of Jesus, my daddy died

In the arms of Jesus, my mom forgets her name

Still I thank God , everyday, for Jesus....

With my Saviour, I abide

And I Thank God , everyday, for Jesus........
