There lived a little whippersnapper who was three years old. For this particularly young, musical cadet, fun was had, by whacking away on his mom’s pots and pans with spoons. In fact, legend says that most of her big metal bowls still have dents in them to this day. For Luke, his love of the musical arts started in the kitchen.

The first (non-kitchen utensil) instrument Luke started playing was the violin when he was 4 years old. Luke resides in Bath, Michigan, which is also referred to as “Home of the International Bathtub Race” (they have bathtub races at their city festival each year).

For a day job, you will find Luke playing music at retirement, assisted living and nursing homes all across Michigan (about 70 different facilities to be exact).

Yeah…So let’s change things up a bit…ah, that’s better. I’m going to stop writing this little bio thingy in the “3rd person”.
Just because.
Anyways, where was I….Oh yeah…My bio thingy.
I love God!
I love my family.
I love people.
I write songs (and sometim­es I do this while I’m mowing the lawn).
Creation inspires me in general. Especially huge expanses of water, earth and space.
I like recording and mixing music...but before this takes place…I have to find a quiet place (quiet places include, but are not limited to: my room, mom’s office, friends cottage, my mini-van etc.) so I can concentrate (I get distracted easily), and then dream up a melody.
I play: Violin/Fiddle (Thank you Mom and Dad for putting up with all that nasty squeaking at first), Guitar, Tennis, Mandolin, Keyboard, Harmonica, Golf, Bass Guitar and the radio sometimes.
My family has a Golden Retriever named Maddie.
I was Homeschooled, and yes, I do have friends :)
I like beaches in remote, tropical areas.
OK, back to the music aspect of things.
Well, I’ll keep on making as many tunes as I can and then posting them.
So, my friends, like hawks utilizing their intuitive keenness and sharpness of eyes, pay close attention to mind future posts on this site, because if the Lord tarries, more melodies shall come.


Once again, thank you for checking this site out.


All Glory to God,

Luke

**Here is a lyrical sneak peak of a new song that will come soon**

But first…I’d like to share with you the most important part of my story.

Let’s start with the bad news first-

Me
I, Luke Cyrus, am a sinner. The bible says:
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:23

God
God is Holy, Perfect, Pure and Just. He cannot let sin into heaven.

I’m Guilty
I have broken God’s Law, the Ten Commandments (You shall not steal. You shall not lie, Etc).
And check this out! James 2:10 says, “For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.”

But I’ve been Pardoned
I have been pardoned from what I deserve... God’s Holy Righteous wrath is what I am truly and justly deserving of because of my many sins.
But God is also a loving God…in fact He loved me so much that he sent his son to die in my place. By “sin debt” has been paid by Jesus, because I asked him to. “For ‘everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’” Romans 10:13
“He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16
God Loves You!

Hope and freedom
When I die, and ten out of ten people do, and stand before God someday…He is not going to see all the sins that I’ve committed…He’s going to see His Son’s perfect, sinless record…not mine, because I have personally asked him to forgive me for all that I have done.
It’s humbling-I can’t do enough good things or help enough old ladies across the street to earn a ticket to heaven. I can’t work for my salvation. It was a gift, offered graciously and mercifully to me. All that was left for me to do was repent and receive this salvation as a gift. I’m so thankful for this!
“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit” Titus 3:5
“If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9
“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.” John 1:12


Oh yes--This is truly the greatest story ever told: The Gospel Story.


Luke

The Greatest Story Told

In the garden, Disciples asleep, The Savior Alone as he cried,
Three times He asked “May this cup be spared”, But an answer the Father denied,
Oh perfect submission, He laid down his life for the world,
What love behold, Yes-this is how love’s greatest story is told,
The greatest story told,

Lost was I, and hope deprived, The weight of my sin was grand,
I’d broken the law, The judge was God and I was on the stand,
The countless things that I had done, I asked “Oh God forgive”,
I owed a debt I could not pay, Jesus died that I might live,
Oh gaze with me upon the cross, And pause your every care,
This is the Son of God himself, And our sin has nailed him there,
All Glory to you Hallelujah, Oh what love displayed,
Tell me the greatest story, Over and over again,

Bruised and bleeding Lamb of God, Oh love beyond degree,
You drank the cup of wrath that I should have at Calvary,
Then the earth it quaked, In the wake of “it’s finished” the Son of God slain.
But on the 3rd day, He conquered the grave, He’s alive, He’s alive,
Did you hear He’s alive again,
The tomb is empty, Death where is your sting,
Perfect love hath broken thy hold, Tell me-over-and-over again,
The greatest story told
