One work of the Holy Spirit is to give us discernment of the signs of the time we live in . While we know we always live in the Love and power of the good Lord, we are GIVEN signs to help us live in our particular times.  This song lists some of those signs of our times. Where sin aboundeth all the more grace. When a particular is is unusually dark the  Good Lord pours out his grace to help us through it I was a fallen away Catholic who went the way of the 60's sex, drugs, and rock'n roll, but by the GRACE of God and through the prayers of so many of His people,my wife and were led back to the Lord and His Church.

Responsorial Psalm 23(24):1-6 for All Saints

Such are the men who seek Your face, O Lord.

The Lord’s is the earth and its fullness,
the world and all its peoples.
It is he who set it on the seas;
on the waters he made it firm.

Such are the men who seek your face, O Lord.

Who shall climb the mountain of the Lord?
Who shall stand in his holy place?

Wrote this song 20 years ago and rewrote it and recorded it last year. Here is the link to Youtube

Here are the lyrics:
Gau
MARANATHA
Maranatha Maranatha Maranatha
 From every land and tongue Songs are sung
For you to come O come in glory
All creation groans and longs to be Free from its cycle of futility
In joyful hope and expectation All generations
Have prayed for you to bring us home
Maranatha Maranatha Maranatha
We trust in your mercy
We hope in you
In your passion, death, and resurrection You promised to be close to us Through all our years
As we pilgrim through this vale of tears Your Father prunes us back Everyday

Hello, everyone. I am pleased to share a song from my recent album of music with you. 

It’s my fourth album, the title is #7. I invite you to listen to it and I hope you will enjoy it. All of the songs on this album and on my previous albums are available to hear at no cost on my youtube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwylItG94zq5f8v6ham2J9g/

There are eleven songs on this album, which I released in late August (I released the videos more recently - a few weeks ago). The album is based on original field recordings that I made, and on some spoken word collage pieces, and a small core of percussion pieces.

Responsorial Psalm Luke 1:46-55 for the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary (Memorial) 

The Almighty works marvels for me. Holy is His name!

My soul glorifies the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God, my Saviour.

The Almighty works marvels for me. Holy is His name!

He looks on His servant in her nothingness;
henceforth all ages will call me blessed.

Today we celebrated the launch of our latest song, Have Faith. 

Have Faith, crosses into a new musical genre for Color, and departs from our usual acoustic guitar sound. Instead of recording live instruments, our vocals are accompanied by an original track created for the song, in GarageBand, using a variety of loops. 

Have Faith advocates a positive, faith-based outlook in times of trouble, and features the Lord’s Prayer.  The song itself is in the form of a conversation taking place among different groups of people. To help bring the story to life, we have created a visual story available for free download from our website, in a visual, comic-book style format.

it's our wish that this song will convey hope in times of distress, and remind us not to give up under heavy burdens.

Responsorial Psalm 44(45):10-12,16 for the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

On your right stands the queen, in garments of gold.

The daughters of kings are among your loved ones.
On your right stands the queen in gold of Ophir.
Listen, O daughter, give ear to my words:
forget your own people and your father’s house.

On your right stands the queen, in garments of gold.

So will the king desire your beauty:

SONG LYRIC:  In my heart and mind
By:  Dan Vi Nu Nguyen
07/25/2023

Chorus:
In my heart and mind, I still have a desire
A desire to love God, Jesus Christ, and brothers and sisters
The will to share my gifts and talent with God
To our brothers and sisters
In the name of Jesus Christ.

Verse:
A desire to serve God, Jesus Christ
The ultimate dream and hope from the heart
To serve our brothers and sisters
To offer my gifts and talents from God to you
My brothers and sisters.

Verse:
A desire to serve God, Jesus Christ
By offering me to God, Jesus Christ, from the heart
My talents and gifts that God gives to me
Of who I am in the image of God, Jesus Christ
To my brothers and sisters.

Verse:
Take me in your heart, Jesus Christ
And house me in the house of God
Care for me and accept me as a Child of God
Call my name to heaven with you, oh Lord Jesus Christ
On the day I deserve you, Jesus Christ.

Responsorial Psalm 33(34):2-9 for the solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles

From all my terrors the Lord set me free.

I will bless the Lord at all times,
His praise always on my lips;
in the Lord my soul shall make its boast.
The humble shall hear and be glad.

From all my terrors the Lord set me free.

Glorify the Lord with me.
Together let us praise His name.

The past couple of years, I've been working on a concept album where I have "redeemed" Communist Party propaganda songs as Catholic anthems.  This site, Richard the Webmaster, and many of you whom I've met here have been extremely supportive! I'd like to announce the album, "Communist Songs Reimagined as Catholic Anthems".  These songs are unusual and often a fresh take on ideas and may be useful for catechesis and other areas.   Here's a link to this on several major music services: Communist Songs Reimagined as Catholic Anthems I'm also linking to a favorite from the album:
