David’s passionate relationship with Christ is shown in the songs on Proclaim. When Mercy Found Me is a song that is particularly meaningful to David. When asked about it, he replied,
“This song was inspired during a recent trip to Africa. As much as we need the mercy of God in America, it seems like they might need a little more mercy, since there are so many people over there who have never heard the Gospel of Christ.”
Includes My Song Of Praise radio hit and Blue Eyes Like Janey’s take a straight forward look at the issue of abortion in this country. The project features a guest appearance on drums by legend Vinnie Colaiuta on songs such as When Mercy Found Me, Holy Rain, and With A Prayer.
Blue Eyes Like Janey’s track and the Single CD is dedicated in memory of all the aborted babies who never had a chance in this life.

Proclaim Lyrics
1. I've Come To Worship
The earth is moving
But I’m standing still
I see the things of this world pass me by
But it won’t break my will
Your strength’s like a vessel
That runs through my veins
Keeping your spirit within me alive
So that I will proclaim
Chorus
I’ve come to worship, worship
I’ve come to worship
Angels above are – rejoicing with us
Oh I’ve come to worship You
This road is narrow
That I’m walking on
But I won’t stop ’til I reach that mark
That I will press toward
Your love’s beyond measure
No words can explain
No matter the things that I face in this life
My heart stays the same
Bridge
You are my Lord
You are my God
I trust in You
I want be moved

I want to be just like Jesus
I want to be just like Him
To touch the broken hearted
To share the light within

I need more love
I need more faith

If I’m ever gonna be like Jesus

Fill me with Your compassion
Anointing fall on me

Lord you know what’s in my heart
You know the hidden parts of me
No way I can express
That day at Calvery

When mercy found me
I was all by myself
Alone with my failures
With my heart on a shelf

From where I used to be
Oh God I have to say
Hallelujah Glory to Your name

7. Glory Hallelujah
I get up in the morning
Singing Glory, Glory
Then I got to thank Him
For seeing one more day
Looking out my window
The sun is shining brightly
The trees are standing tall
It’s so good to be so free
Now isn’t it beautiful
To sing out loud
The words that you wanna say
Don’t it make you feel so proud
Chorus
Singing Glory Hallelujah
Shout it to the people
Let it get next to you
Singing Glory Hallelujah
Sing it loud and clear now
Glory Hallelujah
I stopped into a Church now
To get salvation
There where people crying
They knew what they had done
The preacher keepth on praying
Oh sinners don’t you weep
Just say a simple prayer
For your soul to keep
So brush away your tears now
Oh Jesus forgives
Lets all get together
It’s time for us to live
Repeat Chorus

8. Shout It Out
I got a real good feeling
Something’s gonna happen tonight
This place is saturated
I’m wading in the waters of life
My hands are lifted up to the sky
I feel His praises coming alive
Chorus
Sometimes I dance and
Sometimes I shout when
I’m in the Spirit
It takes me to a higher place
I’ve got to shout it out
Sometimes I run and
Sometimes I leap when
The Spirit of David comes on
And it’s moving me
Somebody shout it out
Now I will enter His gates with
The praises down in my heart
I feel the move of the Spirit
That takes me so far beyond
The sounds of heaven is filling the air
There’s nothing in this world to compare
Bridge
I will praise the Lord
With all that’s in me I will give
I declare He’s great and marvelous
From now on His praise shall live

9. Run To His Mercy
I found love
A real true love
I found someone who is faithful and true
I gotta know
If you know my Lord
If you tried Him then you know He’s good to you
Draw me closer to Your flame
Roll back the veil and reveal Your name
Chorus
There is salvation
There is healing
There is a God who knows what you are needing
He’s everything right
For anything wrong
Come to Him now
Oh don’t you wait too long
Run to His mercy now
The Lord is good
He’s oh so good
A sure foundation you can always stand on
Upon this rock
He will build His Church
Today we’re here but tomorrow we may be far gone
Draw me closer to Your Flame
Roll back the veil and reveal Your name
Bridge
I found Him, I tried Him
He saved me, He forgave me
I love Him, I praise Him
He filled me, He thrilled me

And I can’t keep it still cause it’s real

10. With A Prayer
You carried me
When the world turned the other way
No questions asked
But I saw mercy face to face
I was a child that wandered far from home
But rescued by your grace
As a Father You came running to save me
Chorus
In my weakest moment
Your love became the strongest
Though I could not see
Your love was all around me
In my desperation
Your love became salvation
Now it’s plain to see
Lord it’s true, Your love came through
With a prayer
Love covers me
I feel safe beneath Your wings
No other place could I find the joy you bring
Every now and then my mind goes back
And I look on yesterday
Lord I have to lift my hands in praise to You

11. Blue Eyes Like Janey's
We were so young
And only playing around
And I was ready for adventure
Not for settling down
So when Janey told me she was pregnant
And that she wanted to be my wife
I said wait a minute Janey
We’re only seventeen
We’re just starting out our young lives
Let’s keep our heads together girl
Let’s look at all of our options
But we both knew what the choices where
There was abortion or adoption
And the doctor we saw, he said it wasn’t really life
Just a formless mass of cells
So Janey and I, we made our choice
And we promised that we’d never tell
But leaving the clinic, we heard some talk
And it shattered our little world
The doctor was telling the nurses
That the baby was a girl
Chorus
Would she have brown hair
Did she have blue eyes
I’ve tried to imagine what she would look like so many times
Would she be a tall girl
The questions on my mind
Did she have blue eyes like Janey’s
And brown hair like mine
I say Janey just the other day
In a prolife movement line
We were in front of the court house steps
Praying and carrying signs
And Janey came up to talk to me
And there were tears in her blue eyes
She said there has been millions of innocent babies
Like ours have already died
And I can’t stand on the sidelines anymore
And watch that number grow
Not after what you and I’ve gone through
Not knowing what we know
I still wake up late some nights
And think I hear her call my name
And I still have her photograph
In an empty picture frame
Repeat Chorus
