This was written after an incident in the early morning hours as I was waking. It wasn't really a dream but the whole thing came to me as the lyrics tell.

Hail Mary, full of grace
Hail Mary, Guardian of the…
Matt Talbot
On the corner Matt Talbot stood waiting, waiting
With his pockets empty and thirst raging, raging
Hoping for a friend to pass by
And invite him inside O’Meara’s for drink or two
It was Dublin, Ireland, 1884…
This is from the Book of Judges in the Old Testament and is about Samson.
Samson
The Angel of The Lord
Came down to the earth
To Manoah’s barren wife he spoke
You shall bear a son
Drink no wine nor strong drink
Eat nothing unclean…
This is one of three songs inspired by the book THE HEALING OF FAMILIES by Fr. Yosefu - B. Ssemakula.
Only One

One is love, the other, hate
One will bless, the other, curse
One reigns in…

This is the well known Catholic prayer, Come Holy Spirit. I have my whole family singing on this one and my brother Mike also playing bass. We switch off singing lead - myself first, Mark next and then Mike.
This about St. Joseph, the foster father of our Lord. Though St. Joseph was human and like an other man, he was still so far ahead of all of us in his relationship with God and in how he saw the world through God's eyes, not his own…
Brother Paul, you are awesome! Beautiful guitar, chords and picking - the Lord has given you a beautiful tenor voice - sweet. May he continue to bless your many compositions for his kingdom. Blessings! br.joseph
The first version of this is on Songs of The Heart. This version was written around 9/11 and is a plea for America to hold on to God, not move away from Him.

This is one of the saddest must beautiful songs I have ever heard. Listening to it over and over. A love song to a love that has forsaken you. Yet you cling.Yet you hope. Yet you believe.

This is about Mary, the Mother of God and mother of us all. For those who aren't Catholic, Catholics don't worship Mary, we honor her and pray for her intercession, just as people ask other people to pray for them. Mary brings us to Jesus.

Thanks Kendra for your comment from a year ago! There’s no way to respond on here other than to leave a comment in response and hope the person returns to hear the song and sees it.
I wrote this song a number of years ago - perhaps some time in the mid 90's and recorded it at the time on cassette tape. This is a new recording of it but produced like the original. It's about someone I knew who was mentally ill with some form…
Thanks Sandra - glad to hear you enjoy the songs. I will pray for your friends - Bradley was the man’s name. Sorry I couldn’t send this privately -as far as I know there is no way to respond other through another comment
I wrote this song after reading the book, Immanuel's Veins by Ted Dekker. At the end of the story the main character recalls the first verse of a hymn. I looked it up on the internet and learned that it is a hymn by an Englishman, William Cowper…
I recorded this to sound like something the early Beatles would have done. There are about ten Beatle songs referenced in it. My children (now all adults) were singing on this and I like the end where they can be heard laughing.
This is a poem by A. A. Milne from his children's book, WINNIE-THE_POOH. The musical setting and tune is my own. I just discovered that there is one more verse, so I'll probably record it again.
Hi Sandra - thanks for your comment. In answer to your question I had a forgotten I had found another verse to the poem, so, no I haven’t recorded more.it’s been a long time and I’ll have to re-learn how I played the song! I see that the third verse is about a chicken!
This a prayer given to St. Gertrude which I put to music a few years ago. If said devoutly it will free 1,000 souls from purgatory. Purgatory is where we go to get "cleaned up" if we aren't quite ready to be with God.
Eternal Father, I offer…

Thank you for your kind words. I will certainly pray for your son and mother. You can reach me by email at plisney1@aol.com if you'd like a Cd of the song
Well it's been awhile for me. Busy summer and a bit of creative block all around. I'm happy to share a song I wrote this weekend to reflect on how tough change can be when you're in the midst of it. So many in my life are in the midst of personal…

I will pray for all your intentions. Don't despair, Our Lord is kind and merciful and has already atoned for your sins and mine! Rejoice and be glad! He will see that your loved ones and all those your sins affected will have the grace to come to Him. Be at peace!
Paul

This is a demo of my latest song. I may keep it as the final or re-record it. I played the gutiar and sang it live and there is a mic pop/bump that is audible. i added the vocal harmony afterwards, of course. It's about growing up Catholic as…
Well, I'm almost on a roll now - this little love song was written, arranged, and recorded in just a week. I've been meaning to attempt something like this for years, just never got round to it.
I'd actually settled down to finally record a…
Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.
I had to go to a…

Jesus is my buddy
Jesus is my pal
I hold hands with Jesus
when I walk a troubled mile
He never will desert me
no matter what I do
So, won’t you come to Jesus
he’ll be your buddy too…

Paul, PLease tell me the words of this. There are some I can't understand. My email is: jamesmichaeltaylor@jamesmichaeltaylor.com
This is one of the saddest must beautiful songs I have ever heard. Listening to it over and over. A love song to a love that has forsaken you. Yet you cling.Yet you hope. Yet you believe.
...bespeaks such loss of innocence. A real tearjerker because the betrayal seems so unanswerable.
Gorgeous. Lovely.
...another beautiful vocal and melody.

Thank you, Sandra. Often when I read poems or prayers a melody comes right away, especially if it is an uncomplicated meter.
Thanks, Sandra!
Hi Sandra - that was my children! They helped sing and clap at the end of the song. They are all grown now ranging from late 20’s to early 30’s.

A nice melody and good lyrics. Your style and voice remind me of Judy Collins!

To Guest 172.58.145.129: I will pray for her . We can say the St. Michael the Archangel prayer and St. Anthony's Blessing .
Guest (172.58.139.174) i will pray for you. Paul
Thanks, Rick! Glad you like it. Paul
Heartfelt lyrics - you can tell it came from real feelings, not just something made up. Paul
Nice production on this - powerful guitar sound. You sound American, not English! I've lived in the USA for 40 years and still sound English! Paul
Nice feel and a good vocal. Thanks for commenting on my song, Closer. Paul
Clever! I think a lot of work went into this one. Thanks for your comment on my song. Paul
Very unique! Nice harmonies and unusual presentationv. Thanks for your comment on my song. Paul
Reminds of something George winston would do. Very nice!
