Dave Cook has written songs with scripture texts for over 30 years. In addition to his years as a professional musician, he has had compositions performed at local and national levels including choral works for children, high school and adult choirs, and projects such as the opening ceremonies of the Liberty Weekend, New York City. His "Heartseed" songs for children are used in churches across the country. Many of his pieces are featured at the Scripture Song Source website,
Dave spent 13 years in ministry on a number of U.S. college campuses. These years of intense outreach and discipleship were the catalyst for his love of the Scriptures and specifically, writing music to Bible texts. During that time he also met his wife, Becky. Putting the Topical Memory System to music is a long-held dream realized.
