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…

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 wrote this for the Martin Guitar and Lifespan guitar strings contest and didn't get anywhere with it! it's a simple song with a simple message to love one another as Our Lord loves us. it easy to say but hard to do! i initially called the song…
More "love is mislabeled" music.
ROCKS
How many times have you heard someone say, "I thot it would go on forever"?
How many times have you scratched your head and thot, "How clever."?
There's a rock in Yosemite that will probably stand…
James, ThANKS for taking the time to comment on my songs. You are certainly a prolific writer and have so much uploaded. Isn't it a blessing to be gifted by God this way. There is tremendous satisfaction from making music!

Finally, finished this one. Its been a battle finding time and fending off a few bouts with allergies and colds etc...A very windy winter and early spring season in the desert was one of the worst in many years. Hoping to get to working on some…
Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.
First new one from me in a long time.
Kind of a love song, I guess.
Recorded in my new "studio" (3rd bedroom in the new house). Almost up and running now... shine and don't stop wondering!

New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.
When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…
This is a remix of this song.
It was recorded in 2010, and I was in a hurry to post it elsewhere because I'm so fond of the song itself. But I've always hated the old mix - I lost the essence of the guitars and choirs during mastering because…
While I was writing 'Afterall' I was also putting this song together. This is about a ghost who is haunted by his own past and what mistakes he had made in his former life.
Recorded using Reaper DAW & Jamstix virtual drummer software.
This is an ode for a good friend of mine that had took his own life at the end of last year. I was in the midst of writing some other songs and it stopped me in my tracks. I just wrote basically how I felt about this tragic ending to a very special…

Unbelievably beautiful! What a wonderful way to praise our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Thank you for this very moving song.

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.
