If you've found your way here, you may already know that my name is Bill and I enjoy writing songs about God. If you did not know that, well now you do. I hope to be faithful with the songs I write. I'm not sure I know how to do that, but I think this website is a start. It contains the lyrics, chord charts, mp3's, even the stories behind the songs. And it is all free to you. So look around. Enjoy. And thanks for stopping by.

From Dust to Glory
(produced by Brian Sykes, 2008)


This is my second CD and first full length album. Seven of the songs were recorded in one afternoon in the Alumni Memorial Chapel on the campus of Johnson Bible College in Knoxville, TN; two songs, Brian and I recorded from scratch in his guest bedroom; two more songs, I recorded by myself in my guest bedroom; and of course, the last song is a live recording.

Without a doubt, the best part of this project, in my mind, is that every single person involved is a close friend. It is such a joy for me to listen to this CD and know that these are my friends, people who care about me and believe in my music, doing their best to make it sound its best. And they all did a fantastic job. I am very proud of this album and I hope you like it.
