This is a newly recorded version of a song I originally wrote and recorded in 2005 which can be heard o nthe playlist/album Songs Of The Heart. I re-did this for my son, Aidan's wedding as it seems really appriate for a wedding song.
This is 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.
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…
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 song is also on The Call Of God CD. The mix is a little different, but the same performance.
JUDAS
He walked with the Lord as one of the twelve
And Jesus loved him as much as the rest
He ate and he drank and he talked…
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…
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.

Your song was incredible, you are such a gifted and blessed artist.
I have always loved The St. Gertrude Prayer and you have made it come alive. Thank you for making my day.
Please pray for my son who passed away 4/7/16 and my mother on 7/18/17. Thank you again, I am a new fan!

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!

please pray for my son who was born out of wedlock and suffered MUCH from being fatherless, like me. Please pray for his conversion/healing. Many addictions and pain from me being so selfish!!!

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.

Very nice! Sometimes it's hard to avoid cliches in gospel/spiritual, but you did a really good job giving this an innocent introspection and earnestness. Yeah.

Another new song. This is based around Jesus telling us not be afraid and to have faith. I plan to have my friend Mike add another guitar to it, hopefully soon.

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!

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…

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.

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.

Jesus is my pal
I hold hands with Jesus

He never will desert me
no matter what I do
So, won’t you come to Jesus
he’ll be your buddy too…

I am guilty of the terrible sin of pride. I have sewn to the wind and reaped a whirlwind. My God have mercy! Jesus, mercy!

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.

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!
