Life Connection music consists of 21 songs written and sung by Danny Stephens. Danny is a talented songwriter, singer, and musician with an extensive background in the music world. The songs includes nineteen songs about Bible characters, one about the creation story in Genesis, and one on the theme of the ministry.
The song about Adam, entitled "All Over the World," was the first one Danny wrote for Life Connection. One line says, "All over the world there's a family tree, made of people like you and people like me. There's a Father's love that He offers free to all people, all over the world."
The "You Song" about the Bible character Jacob is the first song in the series that includes Danny's son accompanying him. The Moses song, entitled "His Power, Not Mine," has some unusual lines mixed in. See if you can name where these lines are from. Danny's kids participate in this one. His oldest son now has his own band, so he's gaining experience as a young musician. The last part is pretty funny. So don't miss this one.
In the song "Day of Discovery" there is a Bible verse that doesn't follow the chronology of Scripture. It's about the life of David and it quotes, "I can do all things through Christ..." Did David of the Old Testament know Christ? Yes, he looked ahead to the New Testament Messiah by faith. In fact, David was in the ancestral line of the Christ child.
