Is It a Good Seed?
I wrote this song because of something I learned a long time ago as a missionary that never really left me. There's a chapter in the Book of Mormon, Alma 32, that I used constantly when I was teaching people. The doctrine is so beautiful and just so practical. It gave people a way to recognize something they were already feeling, even if they didn't have words for it yet. Most people I talked to just wanted to know, “How do I know this is real? How do I know this is from God and not just me?” And Alma gives them a process that he can follow. He says to treat the word like a seed and just give it a place to grow. Just enough room to try it all out. Then he says something that always stuck with me. He describes what happens when the seed is actually good. It starts to swell inside you. It begins to enlighten your understanding. It starts to enlarge your soul. And eventually, it becomes delicious to you. At some point on my mission, I remember realizing that those were markers. Almost like a quiet checklist like, if something was coming from God, it would do those things. It would change you in a very specific way. So I started pointing that out to people. When they'd say, “I feel something,” I'd slow it down with them. What exactly are you feeling? Is your understanding opening up a little? Do you feel a little more hopeful than you did a minute ago? Do you feel like you want to be better, not out of guilt, but because it feels right? That was always my favorite part. Watching someone realize that what they were feeling had a divine pattern to it. It had direction and was doing something to them. This song came from thinking about that again, years later. We live in a time where everything is loud and persuasive. Everyone has an angle and just sound so confident. And it gets harder to tell the difference between something that's just convincing words... and something that's actually true. I really wanted to write something that helped them ask the right question. So the chorus became that actual question. Is it a good seed? “What is it doing to me?” Is it bringing more light into my thinking? Is it stretching me in a way that feels clean and not forced? Does it make me want to hold onto it and come back to it? That's a very different way of measuring truth. And the more I've lived with that idea, the more I trust it. It's just so consistent. It is truth, when it's real. It works on you and starts to grow. It changes you over time. That's what I hope this song does for someone listening to it. I really want it to help people slow down just enough to notice what's happening inside them while they listen. If something in it feels a little brighter... A little clearer... A little more hopeful... Then maybe that's the point. Maybe that's the seed doing what it's always done. Not to mention the cool acronym that the English language creates with the key words from the verse: S: Swelling E: Enlarge E: Enlighten D: Delicious SEED!
Why Do I Wander
This song came out of a quiet moment more than anything else. I didn't have to spend too much time setting it up mentally because all of these questions are things I might have asked myself or the Lord at some point in my life. Just sitting there letting my mind run a little farther than I usually let it go more than anything else. And when you do that, the same kinds of questions tend to show up again and again as well. You start thinking about who you are versus who you're trying to become. You begin to notice the gap and reflect about the decisions you've made, the ones you're making right now, and whether they're actually taking you where you say you want to go. There's a weight to that if you let it sit long enough. Some of the questions are simple on the surface but they carry a lot underneath. Am I known? Am I doing this right? Why do I keep reaching for things that don't last? Why does it feel like I understand something one day and then lose it the next? I realized pretty quickly I wasn't coming up with anything original. People have been asking these same questions forever too, not just me. That part actually settled me down a bit. It means there's already been answers given. What stood out to me was how direct Christ is when He speaks. There's no confusion in it. He doesn't use those layers that you have to unlock. When He talks about being the way, or the light, or the good shepherd, He's telling you exactly where to look and exactly who He is. To me, there's a steadiness to it. You can come back to those words over and over and they don't shift depending on how you're feeling that day. Whether you feel close or far, whether you feel like you're getting it or missing it completely, His words don't move. That's where this song really sits for me. It's that space between asking and remembering. This idea of turning your attention back to what's already been said. I believe He meant what He said. I believe He knows people individually. I believe He's aware in ways we don't always recognize in the moment and that He's patient while we figure things out at our own pace. And I believe that invitation still stands exactly the same way it always has.
I Smile
This song was not written from a place of ease. It was written from nights that feel heavy. The kind where the house is quiet, but your mind isn’t. Where your chest feels tight, and you’re searching for peace that doesn’t come the way you expect it to. No mountains move. No skies open. No clear answers come. And yet… something remains. This song came from hearing a man speak about a life that, by any measure, was full of hardship. He didn’t soften it. He didn’t pretend it was easy. He spoke plainly about loss, confusion, and prayers that felt unanswered. And still... he smiled. Not because life was kind to him. But because of Jesus Christ. That is what this song testifies of. At the center of it all is one line: “I smile for the scars You chose to save.” Christ did not rise from the grave untouched. He rose with scars. He kept them. The resurrected Savior still bears the marks in His hands and His feet... not as weakness, but as witness. The wounds remained because the redemption remained. Those scars are proof that He chose the cross. That He descended below all things. That He carried what would crush us, wore what we became, and paid what we could never repay. So when this song says, “my debts have all been paid,” it is not metaphor. It is truth of the atonement of Jesus Christ and what he made possible with his perfect sacrifice. The weight may still be felt. The questions may still come. The night may still be long. But the debt is gone. And if the debt is gone, then despair does not get the final word. That is why this song exists. It is a testimony that Jesus Christ lives. That His Atonement is real. That His mercy is present—even in the quiet, unseen moments where nothing dramatic happens. This song is for those moments. For the nights when all you have is breath, and a prayer, and the smallest piece of peace you can’t explain. There is a reason to smile. His hands still bear it. “I Smile”
