Thank you so much for visiting my music pages here at SoundClick! My new 12-track CD "DANCE IN THE RAIN" is finally released and is available for purchase at CDBaby.com or at my official website, fredatapp.com. I am participating in this forum at SoundClick as a professional songwriter, hoping to garner the attention of producers and performing artists who may be interested in using my music. My first song, "Thou Art a Shield" was immediately well-received and has been printed, recorded and performed by various artists around the world in a number of genres and languages. It has received major-label distribution and has been reviewed as a stand-out track on a Billboard Top 10 album by Byron Cage, 2004 Stellar Male Vocalist of the Year and winner of Best Contemporary Gospel cd of the year. This album also won the 2004 Soul Train Award for the best contemporary gospel cd. Byron was also nominated along with Beyonce Knowles and Ruben Studdard for the 2004 BET Image Award. Psalm Three was also recorded at the London arena by the Kingsway International Christian Centre Mass Choir from the largest church in western Europe. It was produced by Europe's renowned Nicky Brown and was chosen as one of the "hottest tracks in the UK." I hope this will encourage you to check out my music link and listen to some of my other offerings. For me, songwriting is the most fun job in the world, but my ultimate goal is to stay focused on pleasing the Lord and following through with the purpose He has planned for me.

Story behind the song
This song was written during the first few weeks of the war in Iraq, just after the ambush in which seven of our soldiers were captured. I began writing it as I prayed for them each day, claiming Romans 8:35-39 from which the lyrics of this song were taken. I rejoiced when Jessica was rescued and when each of the other prisoners were released. As I listened to the president's speech on my computer the night after the bombing campaign ended, I knew I had to have those sound bytes! The demo team and I promptly began work on the song, trying to find just the right blend of American and middle eastern music. This is not only my tribute to the troops in Iraq, but also dedicated in memory and loving appreciation of ALL freedom fighters who have proven that there is no greater love than to lay down your life for a friend.
Lyrics
Chorus: You're more than conquerors You're more than warriors More than soldiers in the sand You're the bravest friend You're closer than A sister or brother, til the end (1) No tribulation, no distress No darkened prison or nakedness No war, no hunger, nor the sword Could ever keep you from the Lord (2) I'm persuaded neither death Neither life and breath No foe on earth nor fire above Could ever keep you from God's love
