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

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

The Ave Maris Stella is a popular liturgical hymn of unknown origin. It can be dated back to at least the 9th century for it is preserved in the Codex Sangallensis, a 9th century manuscript now in the Swiss Monastery of St. Gallen. Its appearance…

This is the Sequence for the Mass for the Feast of Corpus Christi set to music. This is the short version because the long version has a lot of verses. In my recording I sing the first verse as an introduction and then go to the short version…
This is the Guardian Angel prayer that many Catholic children learn. I put it to music thinking about my grandchildren, especially little Declan who was having trouble sleeping at night.

The line "There's nothing outside the shadow of the cross" came to me from Fr. Donald Calloway. It was something he said in an interview on EWTM with Marcus Grodi. I saw this in January of 2019 and made a note of it because i thought it would…

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…

Greg Connor, I know your comment is from a few years back. Just wanted to let you know that I would've loved to have heard your Irish whistle along with Paul's brilliant and beautiful guitar playing.

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.

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!

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…

Unbelievably beautiful! What a wonderful way to praise our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Thank you for this very moving song.
Absolutely lovely!
Very fine rhythm. Tom.
Very interesting version of The Apostles' Creed. Intro remind me R.E.M and chorus Morrissey. Great work ;)

Thank you, Sandra. Often when I read poems or prayers a melody comes right away, especially if it is an uncomplicated meter.
Thanks, Sandra!
I always love when you just compose your own melodies for songs you find and sing. 👏👏👏 🙏 Sandra.
If I could favorite this, I would! 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.

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!
