We all write our own music, and in the course of the last six years, I've written certain songs about circumstances in my life. They're a little too personal to be Newsboys songs. Melodically and stylistically, they could be on Newsboys records, but they're songs written from my heart about my life. He produced the record, called Watching Over You . Being married and living on the wrong side of the world is an interesting mix, because you know you're in the middle of God's world, meeting the woman of your dreams, but at the same time sometimes you feel out of place because you're 10,000 miles from home.
Home is nowhere on Earth.
There is no earthly place that we should have huge ties to. Heaven is our home, and we need to be looking to that. There are personal experiences on this record that in some ways have become an audio diary. That's not to say there aren't songs that I hope are smash hits, but it is in some ways a story. It's good to see how other people react and how God works in other people's lives.
