 “God’s love is overwhelming to me.  I cannot comprehend it. May my life be a testimony of Him alone!”  Christina

 Psalm 27:4  I'm asking God for one thing, only one thing:  To live with Him in His house my whole life long.  I'll contemplate His beauty; I'll study at His feet."

When I was eight years old I asked the Lord Jesus Christ into my heart and my life because I realized that I was a sinner and could not face a Holy God without Jesus as the mediator.  He took my sin so that I could be forgiven and daily talk with God.   I asked Jesus to forgive me of my sins and asked Him to help me live the rest of my life for Him.  I felt like a new person!  I was a new person!  I had Jesus! 

As each day God allows me to be here on this earth, He graciously teaches me to give all of me over to Him.  All my anxieties, all my fears, all my frustrations, all my hurts. He daily takes me, holds me, loves me, and teaches me.  My prayer is that people will long to know Jesus for He longs to know us.. God and His Word proves to be faithful as He reveals His unconditional Love to us over and over again!

My soul wants to praise our ALMIGHTY GOD who is full of Compassion and Love and Mercy.  That is why I just want to praise Him.

May we all strive to live lives fully committed to Jesus Christ,

Christina

He has also teamed up with concert pianist Scott Griffin on many occasions and continues to enjoy playing duo piano. It is at Moody's Founders Week where their unique duo comedy routines/arrangements began to receive attention.

In addition to performing live, Alan enjoys arranging and composing as well as the art of improvisation. He is experienced with classical, jazz, and sacred styles. 

His arrangements that you will hear on the CD “Quiet Time Blessings " is one of his more simplified works, however, this was intentional for the style of the CD. Even though the arrangements are presented in a simplified form, he believes the work as a whole is profound, and will be used to bless and touch many hearts and lives.

Alan has a passion to minister to the hearts of people in order to encourage his audiences spiritually through the music that he plays. While he enjoys playing the classics, his ability to implement many styles into sacred arrangements is a calling that he cannot deny.

"I want to share the joy I have that God has given me through the gift of music. I believe music can heal, encourage and inspire others and I count it a privilege to be able to combine my love for humor and several styles of music to do just that." - Alan Tripp www.alancurtistripp.com  .
