Kevin West Music - My Music Page

Hi! Thank you for checking out my music. I hope these songs will touch your heart and inspire you to worship. The purpose in recording these songs is to demonstrate my arrangements of them. They were all recorded at my house on my computer. I would like to thank all my friends who played or sang on these songs. You all are so awesome!!!

Keep in mind this is only my interpretation of these songs, so you are welcome to sing them any way you choose...just so long as you worship Jesus! Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen - 1 Tim 1:17.

Song Title	MP3	Chart
Our God Reigns This song was written at a time of great sorrow and pain. The song I started to write was pretty dark sounding and I decided I wanted of song of hope instead. Our God Reigns is my way of saying that God reigns in every situation...smooth sailing or rocky. Style: Rock \| Tempo: Fast.
Forevermore I love the line in the song "Your life conquered sin and the grave." This song has a lot of energy and is fun to sing. Style: Rock \| Tempo: Fast
I Give My All We all struggle at times with feelings of inadequacy. In one of these times for me I was asking God what I had to offer Him. The answer came: NOTHING...except my obedience. What a weight lifted off my shoulders. In the middle of praying this song came out. Style: Ballad \| Tempo: Slow
Praise To The Lord The Almighty This is a favorite hymn of mine. I change the meter to 6/8 to give it a little more drive. Style: Folk \| Tempo: Mod
Gray Skies Blue Often times I write songs as a response to God's Word, something I've learned, or just being in awe of God; regardless, I'm trying to convey a message to someone (or God). This song is special to me because God used it to speak to me. When I wrote it, I could not see the light breaking through as I sing about in this song. However, in this song God reminded me it was going to happen. Style: Swung Blues/Rock \| Tempo: Mod
Greater Joy I was reading Psalm 4 one morning and ran across verse 7: God gives a greater joy. The phrase stuck in my mind until I was able to put it in a song. Style: Rock \| Tempo: Fast
Mercy Fall Like Rain I wrote this song with Jason Wall. I had gotten out of bed one night and wrote the lyrics to the verses in the dark. The next morning I put music to the verses, but I couldn't figure out the chorus. I showed it to Jason and the rest is music history. Style: 6/8 Ballad \| Tempo: Mod/Slow
Let Faith Arise The idea for this song took five years to fully develop. It was such a processes that I wrote a blog explaining what God was teaching me. Click here to read the blog. Style: Rock \| Tempo: Fast
You're All I'm Longing For This is a great song for a personal worship time. Influence: Parachute Band Style: Ballad \| Tempo: Slow
So Good This is one of my favorite songs I've written and most of my congregation would say the same. After we use all our words to describe God, there's only one phrase left that sums it all up: He's So Good.
Who You Are Some of my most favorite songs are those that speak of God's character. In this song I was able to include my favorite attributes of God. Style: Rock \| Tempo: Fast
I Surrender I wrote this song as an act of surrender during a stressful situation. Style: Acoustic Rock \| Tempo: Fast
Great In All Your Ways My wife Janelle & I wrote this song together. It conveys the message that even though we forget it sometimes, God performs miracles every day right before our eyes. Style: Rock \| Tempo: Fast
O For A Thousand Tongues I love this hymn and its message, so I arranged it and added a bridge. Style: Acoustic Rock \| Tempo: Slow
Take My Life And Let It Be This is one of my favorite hymns. I arranged it several years ago, but just recently I took it off the shelf and added a chorus to the 3 verses. I changed the meter from 4 to 6/8.
We'll All Proclaim This is my attempt at a blues shuffle. I felt inspired to try something new after watching a song writing session by Tommy Walker.
Nothing Can Separate You I loved studying jazz in college, thanks to my professor (Shack). My favorites within the genre are jazz ballads, so I thought I'd take a try at it.
You Alone The name says it all! Style: Ballad \| Tempo: Slow
Always I wrote this song for my wife. It's in the style of a Steven Curtis Chapman ballad.
My Heart Longs For You This song was written by Jason Wall, one of my worship team members. You'll want to remember his name because I don't think this will be the last you will hear from him, musically speaking. Style: Ballad \| Tempo: Slow
Psalms 65 I co-wrote this song with Jason Wall on Halloween of all nights! Style: Rock \| Tempo: Fast
We've Come To Worship You Alone This song was written in response to the book Worship His Majesty by Jack Hayford. A must read for any worshipper... you just have to get past the big words and long sentences. Style: Acoustic Rock \| Tempo: Fast
You Are Worthy, Oh God Since recording this song, I've changed the key from F to G. You might find it works better too.
Shae Bae I started writing this song for my daughter Shae when she was just one year old. It took a couple years of puttering with before I finally felt it was finished. Style: James Taylor-esque
