Stanton’s Discography

I began composing Scripture inspired piano to refresh your spirit® in May 2000. This has led to a passion for “creating God Encounters for all generations,” which listeners experience as moments of God’s peace, rest, hope and healing. I pray each melody sings a song of God’s beauty over your life and faith story. Blessings to you! — Stanton Lanier
