Hello all,
                It's been a long time since I have been here, but I wanted to share a personal project I just finished about being an imperfect follower. Think of it as thoughts from the mind and heart that had to come out. I've attached a link for a free listen and/or download.

1 ) Oh most Holy Trinity   -  You created us to be
Holy and love like you    -  reflecting your glory
And after rejecting you, and  becoming slaves to sin

and abides in the shade of the Almighty

says to the Lord: ‘My refuge,

my stronghold, my God in whom I trust!’

 

Be with me, O Lord, in my distress.
