Bible-based music, poetry, and teaching - pointing to the Lord Jesus Christ for the encouragement and growth of His body, the church.
SpiritSongMinistries is committed to praise, honor, and glory of Jesus Christ. To Him I owe everything and all that I am, now and forever. Since my conversion to Jesus Christ in 1981 the Lord began to bless me with unique scripture-based prayer-songs and hymns spanning over 4 decades.
I believe our gifts should only and always point to the Giver. I hope you will enjoy my music, poetry and teaching for your edification and encouragement. Whether in song, poetry, or in the teaching or preaching of the Word, sound doctrine and the preservation of the purity of the gospel is my highest priority.

“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.” 2 Corinthians 4:7
The “new creation” as revealed in the Bible is undoubtedly one of the greatest mysteries, but no greater than “the Word of God (who) became flesh and dwelt among us.” Ref John 1
That God who created the vastness of the universe and everything in it from the macrocosm to the microcosm, could choose to inhabit by His Spirit man whom He created is beyond comprehension - yet He did it.
The apostle Paul spoke of “this mystery among the Gentiles, is Christ in us the hope of glory.”

Disciples Creed
Просмотров 2614 дней назад
A very doctrinal work, the first twelve lines of Disciples Creed illustrate the hopeless plight of man who tries in vain to hide his sin and shame from his all-seeing Creator God, and the permanent and pervasive consequence of Adam's fall. The remainder of the poem reveals the power of the cross ("the light by which we now see") to regenerate and transform, and the requirement of sanctification...
The Master Painter Lyric Video
Просмотров 34Месяц назад
The glory of the visible creation points to the hidden yet surpassing glory of the Creator; whispering to the blind, shouting to those who see. * Aside from being by far my most often recited poem, The Master Painter still has the ability to really grab my heart in the reciting of it. The Almighty Creator God of eternity shows forth His glory through His creation - ”The heavens are telling of t...
Lord Make Me Holy DK

This is another of my favorite "default" prayer songs that is very close to my heart and connected to this imbedded passage of scripture; "Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He w...
From Darkness To Light (The Testimony of My Conversion to Christ)
Просмотров 222 месяца назад
In this God Stories video I share the moment in time (in the middle of a poker game - yes, a poker game) that God used to bring about my salvation. How it took four years after God first spoke to me in Vero Beach, Fl to finally submit my life to Christ will always be a mystery of sorts to me. But God is sovereign in salvation. I was in utter spiritual darkness and blinded to the sin that had it...
SpiritSongMinistries Update and JULY 13th MIRACLE!
Просмотров 133 месяца назад
This intentionally short update is to give my audience an idea of why there's been a longer than normal lag since my last video. My "normal" time to produce and edit my videos is generally Monday - Thursday after my workday is over and we get done with running to the store, eating dinner, and whatever other household things arise that might require my attention. With the July failed assassinati...
Disciples Creed
Просмотров 125 месяцев назад
I wrote this poem circa 1992. I would say it's one of my most "theologically dense" in terms of the number of scriptural ideas presented throughout. It begins with the bleak reality of man's condition apart from God because of the imputed sin of Adam that is universally ours without exception, that is perpetuated by our blindness and denial of our hapless condition apart from the true Shepherd'...
The Garden of My Heart
Просмотров 106 месяцев назад
The heart of man is very complex. It can be described as “the essence of who we are” and has been referred to as the “center of our affections”. I think of my affections as: the things I allow to affect me the most. This poem initially touches the temporality of our existence which is ever at play (at least subliminally) to influence the things that drive our emotions and our actions - or inact...
Simple Song
Просмотров 356 месяцев назад
This is one of my earlier worship songs from the late eighties, and one of two testimonial songs that will always be very special to me. As a follower of Christ there will always be the inner cry to more perfectly express my praise and gratitude to the Lord for delivering me out of darkness and saving me from myself and my sin. Until my final breath I will give thanks to my Lord and Savior Jesu...
In The Light of Eternity
Просмотров 196 месяцев назад
This is definitely one of my favorite poems. As I explained in my brief intro, this poem was one of those rare "downloads" from the Holy Spirit. In saying that, I don't mean there wasn't a moment's thought of mine in the mix. Even as I write, I'm thinking of the passage that says we are "co-laborers with Christ." There's a merging of the faculties that God made you with combined with His Spirit...
Holy Intervention Part 4B
Просмотров 56 месяцев назад
In this second half of part 4, I touch on some of the highlights (or should I say "low-lights") of my journey "from darkness to light"; the "Light of Christ Community" was about the only bright spot along the journey. I was still living carelessly and foolishly, though I was too blind to see it. "Those who walk in darkness don't know what makes them stumble". I was living out the consequences o...

This feels like the longest edit of my experience - ha! Still growing here folks...lol. Please let me know if my story is in any way encouraging to you. I'm still learning as I go, so I genuinely appreciate any feedback - positive or negative so I can get a realistic feel of my viewing audience's reaction. Do you find my content edifying? Are my scripture references helpful to you? I've put jus...
Holy Intervention Part 3

Part 3 includes a brief mention of the 2.5 weeks at the home church in Florida, and continues the story when Allen drives me to a large truck stop to continue my journey hitchhiking to Windsor, CT and I recount a couple of unusual happenings along the way that include being picked up by Christians all the way there, the run in with the police on the NJ Turnpike, and finally my arrival in CT bac...
Holy Intervention Part 1 Addendum
Просмотров 428 месяцев назад
After the final edit on Part 2 it occurred to me that not only had I left out a conversation I had with Martin, (who was possessed of demons before his deliverance and conversion to Christ) one of the elders and worship leader of the home church during my two and a half week stay, but also a remarkable healing that took place at the at the Okeechobee "reform school" facility (Arthur G. Dozier S...
From Fool to Wise
Просмотров 188 месяцев назад
In this video I include a brief history of my journey in poetry that essentially began in 2002 when the Lord blessed me with about a three year season of inspiration for poetry writing, during which I also was given the opportunity to lead poetry discussion groups in various Mid-Continent libraries all around the greater Kansas City area. This first poem was one of three I was given on the same...
Hope you enjoy! Please like and share the good news of "The Master Painter"! "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse..." Romans 1:20
Praise the Lord for your salvation experience. I need that kind of fire in me. I’am dealing with struggles i’am going through. If you could say a prayer that what happened to you would happen to me. God bless you.❤️🙏
Hi Janet, I will certainly pray for you. I feel bad that I didn't see your comment until just now. I work in Medicare insurance, and in the thick of AEP (annual enrollment period) Oct 15th - Dec 7th, so working avg 11 to 12 hrs/day and most weekends. As you know, we're not likely to be free of struggles until we're with the Lord in heaven, but we have the assurance of His abiding presence in the now. "In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world." I consider it the mercy and grace of God that I've heard His voice a few times over the course of over 40 years, but those brief moments are life-changing, if not in the present, down the road. Primarily, He has spoken to me through His word as recorded in the bible "Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light to my path." Remember, God created you with a unique personality with unique characteristics. He knows you better than you know yourself, and He knows how to speak in a way that you will definitely know it's Him and no other. "My sheep hear my voice and after another they will not go." I'm praying now that very soon He will speak to you in an unmistakable way and illuminate any area of darkness. Take a look at John 8:31-32 "If you abide in My word, you are my disciples indeed. And you will know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." If you are in Christ, there is no chain that can bind you, no addiction from which He will not set you free. Please forgive me for my slow response. Let me know if there is any question you'd like me to cover in a future video. I've been very distracted with the election coming up Tues that will decide the fate of our nation and so much more. If you haven't already, be sure to vote! Every blessing, my His grace and peace be with you and sustain you. Praying, "Now may the God of hope grant you joy and peace in believing, and may you abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 13:15 In His strength for His glory, Steve
nice your voice
Thank you. I appreciate your kindness and your offer, but I don't currently have any money for any extras at this time. I hope you will continue to visit. I'll try to be much more diligent to check for comments! Blessings!

Praying for you and your wife 🙏
Thank you so much! We really appreciate you and your prayers. Very kind and thoughtful of you. Please forgive me for not responding sooner! Too many irons in the fire maybe, but that's a poor excuse for not checking sooner than 3 weeks...nobody is THAT busy, lol
Beautiful words, divinely inspired for sure!
Thanks so much again for your kind words and encouragement! That was definitely a one time deal (at least at this point;) Very thankful to the Lord for times of inspiration. That was when I worked for a lawn and landscaping company and had plenty of alone time with the Lord. Of course, I was constantly praying to the Lord that He would open some other door for me since we were always struggling financially. Well, in 2012 I was laid off and now I've been working in Medicare insurance for the past 11 years and I talk on the phone all day long and have little time alone with the Lord. Please pray for a new season of inspiration. Thank you again, and please continue to check back and hit the notification bell so you'll know when I put up more content. Blessing, grace and peace in Him, Steve
A simple song with a profound message nicely done!
Thanks so much! I so appreciate your comment - though you might wonder at how long it's taken me to respond. I've been admittedly very distracted by the election cycle for the presidency, that now has thankfully been decided by the voice of the majority of Americans. I've never been so engrossed in any election. 2016 came close, but not like this. Our republic, our rights and freedoms were on the very brink of destruction and would have been gone had it gone the other way. All that to say, I apologize for not being diligent to check my videos while working on recording and editing. Simple Song is one of my favorite prayer songs for sure. I just recently was in the studio (not my dining room as seen in the video, lol) and recorded 6 more songs with my friend and sound engineer, and when my AEP (Medicare) crazy season is over or my hours lessen a bit we will hopefully record another 4 songs to make an entire album. Please check back and hit the notification bell. I promise I will check for your messages consistently. Many blessings, and may the peace of our Lord Jesus remain with your spirit. Please be alert, we live in increasingly dangerous times. Jesus spared our country for a season. Pray for national repentance that the Lord will continue to have mercy and heal our land.

Wow! 12 cows. 12 Apostles! Calf…baby Christian!
Hey Kathy, I can't believe it's been 6 months and I never replied to your comment! Shame on me! Bless you.. you're not the only one who has mentioned 12 Apostles:) That's somehow the first thing that comes to mind and I've pondered it for about 48 years now and haven't figured out any greater significance. The Lord knows how to get our attention! Please continue to check back for new content and hit the notification bell. The Lord isn't finished with me yet lol. Please pray I will be diligent with the time I have and perhaps the Lord will free me up from the crazy hours I'm working and have more time to devote to my channel. Blessings, grace and peace in Him, Steve
Cows! 12 Cows! A baby cow! Wow!
I know! That was so "out of the box" !
God’s faithful kindness on full display!
It was an amazing time.. still can't fathom why I didn't repent and commit my life to the Lord then, but I was still blinded and didn't even understand what that meant. (Sorry so long to reply! lol)
I love how God has worked in your life! Thank you for sharing! Amazing God Story!
Thanks Connie! It's taking a long time to upload the video detailing my conversion to the Lord in the Army. I spent almost two weeks (evening hours) at the beginning of August editing my recording from the beginning of July. I just haven't been happy with it and had to re-evaluate. Just too much of my pre Christian life in it so I ended up deleting the whole thing and recently recorded my testimony again. I'll be working on it again tomorrow night so hopefully will have it up by the end of the week. Appreciate any and all prayers...
Thanks for sharing your story. God did something for sure🎉
Amen Rishelle, He certainly did! That singular event changed my life forever and I'm forever grateful for the Lord's kind and miraculous intervention. "I permitted Myself to be sought by those who did not ask for Me; I permitted Myself to be found by those who didn't seek Me." Isaiah 65:1 Thanks so much for watching and for your comment. Please check back...I'll be recording the account of my salvation sometime in the next several days.
Miraculous story and how God works
Absolutely Ben, we know He doesn’t change. He’s always been about His miraculous work and always will be.😊
Please share your thoughts about part 1
After posting this I've noticed a few things I need to correct, and the first one is my statement "All my life - from day one I've always felt called to ministry." All my life? lol. Not hardly. I didn't become a Christian until I was 23 years old, and prior to that I certainly had no aspirations toward God or godliness and obviously didn't feel in any way called to ministry. It wasn't even on my radar. However, all my life "in Christ" I have both "felt" and known I've been called to the ministry of reconciliation that Paul describes in 2 Corinthians 5:18-20. I implore you as did Paul, on behalf of Christ "Be reconciled to God."
Yes, but actually only in retrospect (strange as that is). I “shelved it” mentally I believe because I was in such darkness I didn’t know how to categorize or process it until after I was born again years later.
Wow!! Such a powerful testimony of God’s protection and intervention in your life! Was this the beginning of you knowing that God was at work in your life?
I replied above lol
So great that you are doing this Stephen! Praise the Lord!
Nicely done!
Thanks Son! Really appreciate you checking it out.
✔️ *promo sm*
Thanks for visiting and for listening! Please leave any comments about my other songs. Will be adding some of my poetry soon!
“Your whisper is so deafening” so powerful. Love you, Steve!
I agree - and it's so true! I'm hoping you'll share the harmony you're hearing for this one. I'm sure it would be wonderful. When I eventually do a compilation I've talked with Andy about possibly adding a cello part for this one too. Who knows what the Lord may have in store? Love you too!
💕
Hey Kayla! Thanks for visiting! Will be adding some of my poetry soon. Love ya!
Simply Beautiful❤
Thank you so much Zen for your continual encouragement and kindness! This song has been a blessing to play and sing for several years now. Very glad to get it out so more folks can enjoy it with us:) Blessings! I have another couple going live in May I believe you'll enjoy as well...
Beautiful lyrics and the guitar is stellar, Steve!!
Thanks so much Connie! Really love this song and so appreciate your feedback and encouragement. It's still a real challenge for me learning to navigate new technology with even simple video editing - ha. But all part of the journey the Lord has me on to get out what He's given to me. I wouldn't trade it:)
Beautiful ❤
Thanks Kimberly! Very much appreciate your feedback here:) Please keep praying I can resolve the issue with 2 channels. More on that later. Trusting the Lord for the resolution!
Thank you for blessing me with your wonderful voice and this beautiful song. You have truly blessed my spirit this evening. Keep them coming, please. ❤
Hey Zen! I believe I responded from my cell when you first posted this, but just in case you didn't get it THANK YOU lol. You bless me. Hope your new job is still going great for you. PRAY for me! LOL
