Jason Mitchener
Jason Mitchener has always had a
love for words,
from writing short stories and poems in high school to his current love of
lyric writing. Jason says: "It wasn't until I became a Christian that my
writing found purpose." Raised in an Eastern religion, Jason didn't
become a Christian until the age of nineteen, when the parachurch
organization Campus Crusade for Christ shared the Gospel with him. Jason started writing
Christian lyrics soon after he got saved. A few years later, he found himself
in a hospital bed hooked up to a ventilator because of a progressive
neuromuscular disease. "The next six months, I gave up on God. And
without God, my writing also stopped," he says. When Jason came back to
God, his lyric writing returned. He would often dictate lyrics to nurses or
other medical staff since he couldn't use his hands to write. Now Jason types
his lyrics on a computer by using a stick held between his teeth. For many years, Jason
was frustrated in his songwriting because he couldn't find composers to write
the much-needed melodies for his words. "God changed that by leading me
to a songwriting group on the Internet." That group is the Christian Songwriting
Organization, founded by songwriter Dave Byers. Here Jason found
songwriters such as Besides songwriting,
Jason also writes a semi-daily devotional called Just
Passing Through. Also, visit his personal website. Send email to Jason at jason at solidwalnut dot com. Help us spread the
