About

My happy place is with a pen, a note pad, and losing track of time writing my heart out. Taking the time to write one great lyric I believe is far more important than filling a notebook full of mediocre ones.

A few brief songwriting highs to share: (I'll spare you the deep valley of lows) Not long ago a cowriter and I won first place for our song, "On His Throne" at an international songwriting contest called Songdoor. Another song "Big Bang" was runner up. One of the prizes was a three-month platinum membership at Song U. So far at Song U, we've had one song, "Heaven is on Your Side" chosen by Song Rocket Music in Nashville. One last high to share, recently Kyle Winkler a well-known world-wide podcaster picked up two of my own songs that he's been sharing with his listeners called, "Love is Wide" and "Say God Loves me". Creating songs is a rewarding hobby and I love hearing how they bless people's lives.

On His Throne v1

Plays: 7
Lyrics
God can walk on water it's so easy to believe
Until he calls my name, wants to carry me
And so, I must decide if I'll step out of the boat
Cause my heart says yes but my mind shouts no

I know he can move mountains and he'll do it through me
But he'll never do a thing til I take the leap
And so, I must decide if I'll stay or if I'll go
The doors wide open soon it might be closed

Chorus 1
When it comes down to the water or the boat
My mind overthinks, my feet turn to stone
But the King is on His throne!
I can trust him and trust him alone
The moon and stars and this ocean knows
Yeah, the King is on his throne!

Verse 2
Don't know why I'll place my life in a pilot's hands
In a flying chunk of tin soaring high above the land
But when God says hey let me take control
My heart cries yes but my mind shouts no

I know I can be stubborn, like to do it myself
I know he can take me higher if I take his help
So, I choose between my doubt and hope
Do I go with him or go alone

Chorus 2
When it comes down to the water or the boat
My mind overthinks, my feet turn to stone
But the King is on His throne
So, I’ll trust him and trust him alone
He's by my side and he’s never gonna go
Yeah, the King is on His throne


Bridge
And I don't know how this will end
The waves so tall, but he's calling me again
Wanna walk on water with the Holy Ghost
See dead men rise from ash and bones
But I know I gotta leave this boat!

Chorus 3
Still, when it comes down to the water or the boat
My mind overthinks, my feet turn to stone
But the King is on his throne
So, I’ll trust him and trust him alone
In him I place my hope
Yeah, the king is on His throne

Bridge


Outro
The King is on his throne
The moon and stars and the mountains know
The King is on his throne
He’s by my side and he’s never gonna go
The King is on his throne
Yeah, I know, Yeah, I know, Yeah, I know
The King is on his throne
In him I’ll place my hope

Radio Silence

Plays: 2
Backstory
Inspired by a true-life experience I heard a heartbroken young man telling a DJ on the radio.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Girl, I'm speeding faster
I've never felt sadder
Wishing you'd tell me what I did
To make me pull my truck over and let you out
I heard that you're home safe now
Can I make it all up somehow?

Pre Chorus
Well, it's been six days since I heard your last word
I can't think straight and I'm concerned
And I know it's late
But it seems like you fell off the face of the earth

Chorus
Girl, we were a hit like our favorite song
In my truck you were singing along
Did something go wrong?
You were laughing all the way to the next town
Now I don't even know if I'll see you around
I guess that you're gone
And now it's radio silence
No, I don't like it
It's radio silence

Verse 2
Girl, we were on fire
No mountain stood higher
And nothing at all could slow us down
Remember when we threw a dart at the map
Filled the tank up all full of gas
And headed west to see Grand Canyon

Pre/Chorus

ALL YOU LOVE TO COUNT

Plays: 2
Lyrics
[verse 1]
You’re not adding up the numbers
How long or many times I pray
It’s not the clock the matters
You’re just pleased to hear my voice each day

And you’re not counting all my gold stars
Or the rules I try to obey
It’s not straight A’s you’re after
You’re just pleased all my debts
Have been erased

[Pre Chorus]
But you counted all the facts
That make me perfect in you’re sight
Two thousand years ago
On a hill at the scene of a crime

[Chorus]
Where you counted all those tears
And counted his thorns
And every sin that your Son bore
And you counted the four nail hole scars
Now all you love to count is
The praises from my heart

[verse2]
And you’re not adding up my failures
Or how weak my vessel’s broke and flawed
It’s not the cracks that matter
You’re just pleased to fill me leaks and all

[Pre Chorus]
But you counted all the facts
That make me perfect in you’re sight
Two thousand years ago
On a hill at the scene of a crime

Chorus
Where you counted all those tears
And counted his thorns
And every sin that your Son bore
And you counted the four nail hole scars
Now all you love to count is
The praises from my heart
From my heart
From my heart
Lord from my heart

Bridge
You’re not adding up my wins
And counting every loss
You're not looking at sins
Cause you paid the cost
If I want a perfect mark
I’ll gaze upon the cross

Chorus
Where you counted all those tears
And counted his thorns
And every sin that your Son bore
And you counted the four nail hole scars
Now all you love to count is
The praises from my heart
From my heart
From my heart
Lord from my heart

Lyrics
Verse 1:
I've had enough
I'm sick and tired of all my fear and doubting
So listen up
I'm done shaking at the size of you mountain
You think you're big
But you're the one who's gonna face a problem
Fear my lips
The Lord my God is far great and awesome

Pre chorus:
My voice sounds small but you're trembling from the truth
In Jesus' mighty name I command you to

Chorus 1:
Move
Mountain move
Your lies are falling through
'Cause I found the truth
God's words are higher than you

Verse 2:
You're no match
Compared to a tiny mustard seed
And it's a fact
One word can lift and push you in the sea
I'm not afraid
If you're still standing or hardly moved
I still got faith
God already pulled out all your roots

Pre-Chorus

Chorus 2:
Move
Mountain move
Your time is coming due
'Cause I found the truth
God's words are higher than you

Bridge:
You can't stop my hope or my vision (Oh!)
You can't block my dreams or my view
I can see straight through you mountain
Now I declare what you gotta do!

Chorus 3:
Move
Mountain move
Your days are done and through
'Cause I found the truth
God's words are higher than you
Ya much higher than you

[Outro]
My voice sounds small but you're crumbling from the truth
In Jesus' mighty name I command you to

Heaven is on Your Side
Trevor Clements/Chris Bates Copyright 2026

V1
The darker the night, the brighter the stars
The steeper the climb, the braver your heart
The dimmer the light, the sharper your faith
The harder the fight, the richer your gains

pre chorus:
So, thank those mountains in your way
They're just blessings to climb and plant your flag

CH
YOU'VE GOT THE SAINTS AND ANGELS
CHEERING DOWN FROM HIGH
YOU'VE GOT THE BLOOD OF JESUS
AND HIS SPIRIT INSIDE
SAYING TAKE THOSE MOUNTAINS
THEY'RE GONNA LIFT YOU HIGH
TO SHOW THE WHOLE WORLD WATCHING
THAT HEAVEN IS ON YOUR SIDE
HEAVEN IS ON YOUR SIDE

verse 2:
The harder you fall, the higher you'll bounce
The graver the call, the richer your crown
The hotter the flame, the purer the gold
The longer the wait, the deeper your growth

Pre /Chorus

Bridge:
All heaven's shouting,
Come take your mountains!
All heaven's shouting,
Come take your mountains!
Stop all your doubting
Come take your mountains!
All heaven's shouting!
All heaven's shouting!

Love on the Front Plate

Plays: 5
Lyrics
CH
I don’t think about his love enough
But if Jesus ever drove an old pickup truck
There’d be a bumper sticker on his cab
Saying, I'd drive to hell for him and back

V
There'd be some mud stuck on his tailgate
It'd say love there on his front plate
He'd keep his bible and a real map
My photograph up on his dash

pre
If I got stuck out in a hard place
He'd smoke that clutch down the interstate
And pull me out as gawkers pass
Then drive me home no questions asked

CH
No, I don’t think about his love enough
But if Jesus ever drove an old pickup truck
There’d be a bumper sticker on his cab
Saying, I'd drive to hell for him and back
Whoa! Love his front plate
Yeah! And there'd be love on the plate

V2
Might take a side trip down route 66
Pull out speeders from every dark ditch
He'd pay the fines, do time for their sins
That ol' cop devil would cuss and hiss

pre
We’d play country and old blue grass
Look for Willie and crank up Cash
Cruise through life with our foot off the brakes
Then exit home through those pearly gates

CH

Bridge
If we're lost, all broken down
It's not too late to be heaven bound

SLING AND A STONE

Plays: 0
Backstory
Inspired by my own personal battles being under condemnation from the giants in my life until Jesus opened my eyes and set me on Mount Zion. This is a song of hope and truth for Christians facing their own giants in life.
Lyrics
Verse 1
I was hanging there off Sinai Mountain
The shame I carried felt like two tons
I'd been running from my giants most of my life
I couldn't bear the weight of my sins
With those voices nagging, I can't win
There was no place left for me to flee and hide

Pre Chorus:
But then I heard the good news
Above their rage and rants where I was hanging
That Jesus rose up and removed
The letter T from can't and now he's saying

Chorus:
I can climb the highest mountain
I can conquer any problem
There's nowhere God's grace can't bend or reach
When I believe I'm not alone
I can face a den of lions
I can slay any giant
There's nothing God's hand can't do through me
With just a sling and a stone

Verse 2:
They strive to hold me to those old laws and
Set traps to catch me in my faults and flaws
Hoping I'll fail and forget God's grace and truth
Then they'll shout that I'm not good enough
With flaming darts searing through my thoughts
To pin me down with shame to say I am through

Pre Chorus:
But now I know the good news
Above their rage and rants, they fear my praises
That Jesus rose up and removed
The letter T from can't and now he's saying

Chorus

Bridge:
Jesus, you fulfilled the law to a T of perfection
Jesus, you rolled away my stone of shame and condemnation
Jesus, you lifted me on high and set my feet on Mount Zion
Forever righteous and forgiven

Chorus

Lyrics
Love is Wide
Written by Trevor Clements, Copyright 2025

I thought that I needed
A whole lot of fixing
If I could just stop sinning
And start feeling like a winner

Thought the Christian goal
Was to aim higher
Just five more steps I'd be closer
Years later and I wasn't better

Pre-chorus
So I asked what more do I need to do
God said child just accept my love for you

Chorus
God's love is deep and it's wide
Far more then I could grasp its height
It’s the greatest truth
That forever changed my life
God's love is deep and so high
Way beyond my thoughts and mind
It made me complete
By the power of Christ
God's love is wide

Verse 2
A friend saw my changes
And wondered what's my secret
I said there’s an explanation
The truth's found right there in Ephesians

Pre-Chorus 2
God says there's nothing you have to do
You can only grow by my love for you

Chorus 2
God's love is deep and it's wide
Far more then you could grasp its height
It’s the greatest truth
That will forever change your life
God's love is deep and so high
Way beyond your thoughts and mind
You're made complete
By the power of Christ
God's love is wide

Bridge
I spent day and night looking for a magic bullet
And there on the cross one shot and He proved it

Chorus
God's love is deep and it's wide
Far more then I could grasp its height
It’s the greatest truth
That forever changed my life
God's love is deep and so high
Way beyond my thoughts and mind
It made me complete
By the power of Christ
God's love is wide

When you did that one thing
You said you’d never do again
When ya know you’ve blown it
And all you feel is condemned

Ya a little weird and strange
But next time you fall
Speak out loud and say

Cause your under his grace now so just believe

But you missed the mark my friend
When you see you're far from perfect
And you can't hit the nail on the head

Backstory
Our new pastor at church shared his story how his faith radically changed. When he was young and struggling with dark challenges, he questioned how God could help him because he seemed invisible and far off. Reading his bible one night about the disciples being swamped in their boat by a terrible storm the story hit him. Jesus appeared to them and said here, "I Am". The words suddenly came alive and he saw for the first time, God was right there with him in the flesh for all his needs and struggles. His experience boosted my faith and inspired this song that the God of the bible became flesh to be with us and save us from drowning in life's problems.
Lyrics
Do you feel trapped
Just like Moses and your backs
Up against the Red Sea
With nowhere to flee

Are you losing hope
Just like Peter and your boat's
Sinking fast on Galilee
Nowhere to go but on your knees

Pre-Chorus:
Well don't forget the word of God was born of flesh to be a man
Who walked on water and spoke those words to frantic fishermen

Chorus:
Here I am, don't be afraid
Here I am in God's mighty name
You can trust my hand
When fear knocks on your door, yeah I'm working out my plans
Yeah, here I am through the dark clouds
Here I am, no need to doubt
You can trust my hand
When fear knocks on your door, yeah I'll get you back
Get you back to dry land

Verse 2:
And if you feel alone
Just like Noah building God a boat
And no one helps you or believes
The end is hard to see

Or if you're feeling stuck
Just like Jonah in a whale's gut
Waiting to be rescued from the sea
Life's passing by with all your dreams

Pre / Chorus

Bridge:
Child take my hand
Ya here I Am
I'll get ya back
To dry land
Here I Am

Songs of Summer
Writers: Trevor Clements / Chris Bates (Gary Clute AI production)

Verse 1:
Well, it’s good to be done with colder weather
And it feels good to be back in a t-shirt
I love to be on my porch swing
Hear the buzz of a bee in a flower
And doing all those fun things
I can only do out here in summer

Pre-Chorus 1:
Like sipping fresh lemonade on ice
And watching the cars driving by
Or just having a lazy afternoon
And playing some country tunes!

Chorus 1:
With my feet up
In the shade having fun
Ya, that’s the good stuff
Here on my front porch, with some loved ones
And the tunes on!
Playing the songs of summer
Hanging out in our small-town n' fresh air
Got no plans and got no cares
Just loving life together
Nothings better,,, and
Playing the songs of summer!

Verse 2:
And on those dog days when I feel a little mixed up
I need a space to get away from life's problems
Where I can feel the night breeze
Hear the hum of the bugs and the chiggers
And doing all those porch things
That soothe my soul all through the summer

Pre-chorus 2:
Like watching kids chase the fireflies
And counting the stars with my wife
Or slow dancing beneath the full moon
While playing some country tunes!

Chorus 2:
With no light on
In the night having fun
Ya that’s the good stuff
Here on the front porch, the two of us
Falling more in love!
Playing the songs of summer
Hanging out in our small town and fresh air
Got no plans and got no cares
Just loving life together
Nothings better,,, and
Playing the songs of summer!

[Bridge]
I always love these long days of the summer
I’m gonna soak it all up before they're over
Right here on my swing with the sunset and Gods amazing weather!

Chorus:
With my feet up
in the shade having fun
Ya that’s the good stuff
Here on the front porch, with my loved ones
And the tunes on!
Playing the songs of summer
Hanging out in our small-town n' fresh air
Got no plans and got no cares
Just loving life together
Nothings better, and
Playing the songs of summer!

Outro:
The songs of summer
Loving life together
Nothings better,,, and

Fear Not
Writers: Trevor Clements/ Chris Bates

Verse 1
Fear can never cross the ocean
And see what's on the other side
It can only stay and hide
And fear can never climb a mountain
Never soar and reach great heights
It can only ground your life

Pre chorus
So don't give in to fear's emotions
Live like there is just one shot
God made those stars to reach for
You're closer than you thought

Chorus
When you got shaky knees trust God
He'll meet all your needs so fear not
When you're walking through the shadows
No, you won't ever be alone
And when it's hard to see, trust God
You'll get to your dreams so fear not
When you're crossing over dark and dangerous seas
Or when you're hanging ten feet from the peak

Verse 2
And fear can never win a medal
Can never cross the finish line
It can only steal your prize
And fear has never found its calling
Can never chase a dream or dare to try
It can only waste your life

Pre Chorus
So don't give in to fear's emotions
Live like there is just one shot
God made those stars to reach for
You're closer than you thought

Chorus
When you got shaky knees trust God
He'll meet all your needs so fear not
When you're walking through the shadows
No, you won't ever be alone
And when it's hard to see, trust God
You'll get to your dreams so fear not
When you're crossing over dark and dangerous seas
Or when you're hanging ten feet from the peak

Bridge
David stood and slew Goliath
Peter walked out on the seas
Jesus conquered sin and Satan
What will be your legacy?
Don't let fear steal your destiny

Chorus
When you got shaky knees trust God
He'll meet all your needs so fear not
When you're walking through the shadows
No, you won't ever be alone
And when it's hard to see, trust God
You'll get to your dreams so fear not
When you're crossing over dark and dangerous seas
Or when you're hanging ten feet from the peak
