Witness Of His Glory

My name is Michael E. Coones and I am a guitarist / Songwriter / Singer  living in Orem. I've been writing original material and performing in  bands for over 40 years. About 3 years ago, I almost lost my family and  wife to my addiction to music and making the big time. I was selfish and  self centered and NOTHING else mattered to me. I’ve always believed in  God but my testimony was weak.  When the breaking point happened, I was determined to give up playing  and I didn't touch my guitar for over a year with the knowledge that I  would never play again. I began to rebuild my relationship with God and  my wife and I came to realize what was truly important in my life.

Up until that point in my life, I had always written secular music with no thought of putting religion and music together. I realized that the Lord blesses people with gifts of talent, wisdom, and a ton of other things in  order for them to use these talents to bring souls unto Him and to spread His gospel to those around us. It was a HUGE awakening for me. So now, Ive decided to use that God given talent I have to write songs, and use it for the purpose it was given. God has spoken to me and I’m now listening. Out of the chaos of my sins and confusion, “Witness Of His Glory” has arisen from the ashes of my broken life.
