Don Hershman
Biography
Born and raised in south-central Pennsylvania, I have lived in Kentucky since 1984 with my wonderful wife, friend and ministry mate, Kathy. We have three wonderful children and seven beautiful grandchildren; all are great blessings in our lives.
I was deep into the “world”, serving self and full of hate until I was sovereignly touched by God’s grace in July of 1997. My heart of stone was literally pulverized, and a heart of flesh created, as I looked upon my sleeping two-month-old granddaughter, Emily. I have not been the same since, praise God. Then, in 1999 at a Promise Keeper’s meeting I dedicated my life to loving and serving Jesus Christ. At that time, that “real Don” began to manifest a life and calling that God had been preparing me for all along. That life is as a worshiper of the Living God. This, in turn, opened up a whole new world of service and blessing, which is leading worship at many different venues, often in programs with my wife, who is a teacher/preacher.
For most of my adult life, I tried to write songs and failed. I just could not seem to write anything that was worth singing more than once (if once). Then in January of 2003, God opened up the floodgate and songs began pouring out of me! Interestingly enough, this release happened immediately after I shared my desire, but inability, to write songs with a secular songwriter while flying from Denver to Nashville. God is so good. My recordings are done in my house studio using my Yamaha AW4416. I give my cds away as part of our ministry, so please freely download the songs off this site and use/copy them any way you like. Contact me through our ministry website if you would like a hard copy of any of the cds God has given me.
Many of my songs were written for alter call situations, and are based on specific scriptural themes. Others were written simply to reflect the goodness of God and His great love. Some of the songs could be used in corporate worship, but most are for "soaking" in His presence. A few songs are a personal testimony, and reflect different seasons in my Christian walk.
NOTE: Additional songs and chord sheets, not listed below, are available from our ministry website.
Be blessed and trust in the Lord. Worship Him!
