Christian Messenger Releases 'I Give Thanks' In Time For Thanksgiving
Christian Messenger (John Chaffee) has released his new single 'I Give Thanks' in time for Thanksgiving. "As families gather for Thanksgiving, and Christmas, too, I think people are thankful for all the good things in their lives, and thankful to be living in the greatest country on earth", he says.
"As the chorus states, 'I give thanks to the power of a dream. I give thanks to powers never seen. I give thanks to you for loving me. For every breath I am given, I give thanks.'"
After a career in broadcasting, with Malrite Communications Group in Cleveland, (copywriting, programming, management in both radio and television) John began pursuing his lifelong dream, songwriting. In 2004, he released a song he wrote, 'Someone is Missing at Christmas', performed by Anne Cochran, which in the following year, reached the #11 position on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart. The song continues to be played each season on All-Christmas-Music stations, and a portion of the proceeds are directed to breast cancer and ovarian cancer organizations.
In 2009 John began work on 'Play By The Rules'. The audio track was recorded in Nashville at Trax Studios and in the summer, at various Cleveland, Ohio locations, the video was shot and then produced at Commercial Recording Studios. The song has been featured in Country Weekly and UpCountry (UK) magazines, several newspapers.
