I was saved by the Lord Jesus Christ in my hometown of Middlesbrough in 2012. From 2007 onwards I would sing in nightclubs, pubs, and even on the streets. Along with that, I lived a real rock and roll lifestyle with regular mass sessions of alcohol, and endless cocktails of drugs. My life was in serious danger of spiraling out of control or even worse, ending prematurely. One morning after a heavy all night of partying, drugs, and booze I walked down a road feeling very worse for wear and stumbled across the most magnificent music coming out of a church building. It was worship music, and it gripped me right there in my steps, there was something in the sound of that music that was far greater than entertainment, far greater than manipulating your senses. I went into the building that day and found out that something I was hearing was the worship of the Lord Jesus Christ. I was hooked, God’s grace had gotten into me, I received Christ three weeks later, joined the worship team two weeks after that, my life made a 360 turnaround for the better since that day and I’ve been glorifying Jesus Christ since hallelujah!
It has been a more than turbulent twelve months or so here in the UK, and right across the globe in fact. That’s why I decided to make my next song release my recording of the awesome Christian song entitled ‘Just One Touch From The King’. The song was written and originally released by Godfrey Birtell. It really provides a tangible and realistic answer to people’s problems, Jesus Christ. Mr. Birtill wrote a more than an exceptional song, inspired by the Holy Ghost, and it was a great honor for me to cover it.
The song says, “God has stretched out to heal us”, and there couldn’t be a more important message for the people of the world, and the church today. It’s time to heal, and Jesus Christ is the way to do that.
Speak again soon Jesus Freak Hideout readers, I decree and declare GoodNews in your lives in the mighty name of Jesus!
