Songs of Jesus Music and Cover Art Credits

Thanks musicians and artists!

The word of God tells us that, "the body is not made up of one part but of many", and that we need all the parts working together to amount to anything.  As a songwriter I know that's true! I get to watch my songs come to life as each musician adds their talents.  I'd like to give a big "thank you" to them as well as the artists who've allowed me to use their images as cover art.  Thanks also to the many "behind the scenes" friends that have helped make my music come to life.
