Playing to Kutless "Sea Of Faces"

Here are the lyrics.

Handcuffs and a narrow hallway
Piece together the past
Hope something there will bail you out
Mouth is dry, you feel like
Someone squeezed you like a sponge
With nothing to say you walk alone

As the hallway gets longer
And the walls feel their closing in

About to get what you had always coming
Consequence you try hard to avoid
Was it worth it all to have your fun?
Was it worth it all now your time has come?

Hear your name just like a hammer
Breaks the glass of your thoughts
No mercy's in the bailiff's voice
Other faces watching
Cannot see beyond your skin
With nothing to say you stand alone

As the ceiling grows higher
And defenses start wearing thin

I know it's easier in our youth
To feel we're invincible, invincible
It's not until these cold iron bars
That we start to see how frail we are

About to get what you had always coming
But what if someone took that place for you?
Would you honor him 'cause you are free?
Would you be the same?

These 5 preludes were written when I was in a particularly improvisatory mood and was really into Scriabin. So they have some things in common with each other and with Scriabin's music. This is actually the original version. I thought it would also sound good fast and with a somewhat different interpretation so the fast one is now the official 4th Prelude.

This is a short canon with an augmentation in one part. Though it fits the flute and soprano recorder ranges, it might sound best on alto recorders.

A melody i created on my piano.
Recorded at home on my recorder.

The Thirsting packs a punch unlike any heard before in the Catholic music world. They gave an incredible performance at Catholic Underground Chicago. https://thethirstingcatholic.com

Venue: Catholic Underground Chicago

Do you experience God's love for us? Or do you sometimes think you are all alone in the world? Or that God doesn't love you? If so, you are not alone. Multitudes of people today, Christians and non-Christians, have similar thoughts. This was also true when Paul was alive. Look at what he said when he prayed that the Ephesians would deeply know God's love.

Inspirational Hip Hop

Cover of the Third Day song, You Are Beautiful

Opening for Bebo Norman in Minneapolis MN. The song depicts a true story that took place on the streets in St. Paul. The concert was to benefit Breaking Free an organization that helps women and their children escpae the bondage of prostitution and human trafficking. Raised $15,000 net for this cause that night.

I love to say that God will be real with us when we are real with Him. This raw, real confession of need poured out after I had done some concerts in juvenile detention centers. I often share songs and my story in facilities like this, but this particular
week I had done 3 such concerts. I was overwhelmed by the need in the world; the vast pain that can be held in a young persons' heart. I have a toy soldier on my keychain to remind me that I'm a warrior in Christ, which means I am to fight the good fight
and work to bring love, peace, and goodness to my life and lives of those around me. I've been carrying my toy soldier on my key chain around with me for over a decade now, and there he was, sitting on my piano, starin' at me. Even Jesus wept; and was spent
at times. If you listen, you can hear the divine heartfelt reply in the precious vulnerability of the question itself. YES - I am here!
