because of jesus
Who gets the credit?

Recently I've been involved in an exciting project called Compassion Art. In January 2008, 12 writers gathered together for a week of song writing in Scotland. The song writers included Martin Smith, Matt Redman, Michael W. Smith, Steven Curtis Chapman, Darlene Zschech, Graham Kendrick, Paul Baloche, Andy Park, Israel Houghton, Stu G, Chris Tomlin and myself.
It was an amazing week writing together - a hub of creativity. It was a fascinating process to see how different writers operated. Personally I learnt so much. It rammed home the importance of team and community. We can achieve so much more when we work together. The cool thing about the week was that it was decided at the start that everyone would share the credit for the songs. It meant that on each song, all 12 writers names would be included. It meant that straight away there was no agenda. No one minded who got the credit and we all felt passionately about each song. It definitely made for an amazing sense of team and an amazing dedication to excellence with the writing of each song. It reminded me of a quote that Ronald Regan had on his desk when he was in office as the US President,
“There is no limit to how far a person can go as long as he doesn’t care who gets the credit.”
