The Songs I Write
I write country songs about real life: love found and lost, the one you still think about years later, the search for someone to share life with, and the dignity of an honest day’s work.
My songs live in small towns and farm country, on back roads and in places where mills go quiet, jobs disappear, families grow older, and good people keep going. I write about faith, family, and the presence of God in a person’s life — about trusting Him even when the answers don’t come.
My aim is to write songs that feel familiar in the deepest sense — songs that remind people of someone, someplace, something they’ve lived through, or something they’ve felt.
If a lyric can comfort someone during hard times, make them feel understood because they recognize something of their own life in it, or point them toward something bigger than themselves, then it’s done its job. I hope to connect with listeners through songs that are honest about life and grounded in the faith my own hope rests upon.

MICHAEL GRACE is a songwriter with a storyteller's heart, shaped by over 35 years in media, design, and publishing. Through song and the books published at GreatChristianBooks.com, his goal is the same—to create something that inspires, encourages, and endures.
