I came to know Jesus as my Savior when I was very young. I was blessed with Christian parents. I was also blessed with a pastor, Ken Peterson who loved Jesus and whose gift was raising up men and women for the ministry. His brother was the well known songwriter John W. Peterson – “Heaven Came Down and Glory Filled my Soul”, “I Believe in Miracles”, “Jesus is Coming Again” and over a thousand other songs including many Choir Cantatas. John encouraged me when I was young in my songwriting so I have continued to work on songs and related skills over the years.
Contempory Christian music and Worship Music became a part of my life in my teen years as I made a choice to stop listening to secular radio and instead find music that would encourage me in my Christian faith. I got involved helping a Christian music Festival which ran for a handful of years, went to college got a broadcasting degree and business degree, briefly DJd at a couple of Christian radio stations, then started managing a Christian bookstore/gift shop in a mall for a number of years. Within that context I had the privelege of helping promote Christian concerts and helped some at a Christian coffee house which featured weekly Christian concerts. Through all these experiences, I grew to enjoy many different styles of music others were using to express their love for Jesus.
Life took another turned as I went into ministry with The Salvation Army which in total lasted over 30 years both as an employee and a Salvation Army Officer. Through those years I had the privilege of ministering the Word, helping others with their daily needs, encouraging others in recovery, leading worship and praise, and doing the many aspects of administration, developement, ministry, etc. that is involved with Salvation Army ministry.
Needless to say all these experiences and many more influence who I am and from where my inspiration comes. When we are willing, God molds us and makes us into a person whom he can use for the plans and purposes He has for our life.
Daniel Scott has been leading worship for over twenty years and has recently been recording some of his own songs. Some songs such as “Stars and Stripes and Jesus Christ”, “Bold Faced Lie”, “Holy Cow, Not Gonna Bow”, “Puppet Masters” and “Got to Be Born Once” address the pressing issues of the day. Other songs such as “The Serenity Prayer”, “The End of the Road” and “Tangled Web” deal with the blessings of God’s help in recovering from the old ways of the past. There are songs to encourage such as “Hold On”, “I Wanna Be Ready” and “Such a Time as This”. Songs of Worship and Praise include: “In the Secret Place”, “Raging Fire”, “God’s Abundant Life” and “Every Curse Has Been Broken”. Newly rewritten Christmas songs include: “Come Lord Jesus, Come” and “With Joyful Hearts”. And more Worship and Praise songs are soon to be released. With over 120 origional songs waiting to be recorded, and many more being worked on Daniel is hoping to release songs for years to come.
Thank you for checking out my bibliography. My prayer is to see revival and an awakening. I would appreciate your prayers, support and encouragement as I share the Love of Jesus through music, songwriting and evangelism. Pray for doors of opportunity and as God’s Word says, we need to make the most of those opportunities that He sends our way. God Bless, In Jesus,
