Paul Lisney

I wrote this in honor of the Holy Name of Jesus.

The Holy Name Of Jesus
Name above all names
The Holy Name Of Jesus
By whom we are save
He who died upon the cross
gladly took the place
of each man woman and child
to redeem the human race

At the Holy Name Of Jesus
Every knee…read more

This the Ave Maria prayer - the Hail Mary in Latin. The guitar is in a full E tuning with the Capo on the 5th fret. I recorded the voice and guitar together. This is the first recording of it so I may do it again to get the best performance.

I just recently came across this poem by G.A. Studdert Kennedy, an Anglican priest from the early 20th Century. I heard it recited by Archbishop Fulton Sheen on a video on You Tube and thought that it would make a good song. The melody came really quickly. Its in the key of A but I use a capo…read more

This is my latest song which was inspired after seeing a video of Archbishop Fulton Sheen where he talks about the devil. At the close of the talk he tells hearing our Lord’s cries and how he responded.

    TAKE ME DOWN 

And I woke in the dead of night
To woeful cries of anguish…read more

Here’s a song for my wife.

This is one of three songs inspired by the book THE HEALING OF FAMILIES by Fr. Yosefu - B. Ssemakula.

      Only One

The Lord gives, the devil takes
One is love, the other, hate
One will bless, the other, curse
One reigns in heaven, one prowls the earth

The Lord is Truth…read more

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 changes.

I’d surely welcome any feedback…read more

The production of this song was influenced by Paul McCartney’s song “Sing the Changes”

 He Calls Me

I’ll climb rugged mountains
I’ll swim through the sea
I’ll walk hills and valleys
My Lord is calling me
Oh, He calls me,
Yes, He calls me

I’ll crawl through barren desert
I’ll push through…read more

This is the true story of a poor Teddy Bear who lies out on my lawn year round - winter, summer, spring and fall, in rain, snow or shine.

Dead-y Bear

Dead-y Bear
Why are you lying there?
Does no one love you,
Dead-y Bear?

Dead-y Bear
You’re a moldy and smelly bear
Out in the…read more

         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
He’d been drinking 15 years, maybe more
Spend his…read more

This song is also on The Call Of God CD. The mix is a little different, but the same performance.

This song started shortly before Christmas (2015) and I recorded it in January of 2016. This is a basic demo of it.

OUR KING IS COMING

Leaves are falling
Fall is leaving
Winter snow will soon be here
Christmas coming
People rushing
Who is thinking Christ is near?
Looking for a place…read more
