In his mid-twenties, he attended a revival service in which he met the Lord Jesus. He fell in love with the study of the Bible, especially tracing the meaning of each word. He is also the author of over 6700 Gospel songs of which over 260 have been recorded. In late May 2019, his song “Beyond the Blood” was nationally released as a single to radio. Bud will say that he might not be worth telling you about, but the One he belongs to will be the subject of eternal ages. He shares his passion for his Lord and Savior in this book, and desires that God receive all the glory, praise and honor forevermore.view less
