"Take My Hand, Precious Lord" (a.k.a. "Precious Lord, Take My Hand") is a gospel song. The lyrics were written by Thomas A. Dorsey, who also adapted the melody.
I dedicate this song to all suffering peoples of our world, from war, hunger, abuse, loss of loved ones, loneliness, poverty, ignorance, and all forms of pain.

"The Christmas Song" sometimes titled "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" or, as it was originally subtitled, "Merry Christmas to You" is a classic Christmas song written in 1945 by Robert Wells and Mel Torme.
According to Torme, the song was written in July during a blistering hot summer. In an effort to "stay cool by thinking cool", the most-performed Christmas song was born. "I saw a spiral pad on his (Wells's) piano with four lines written in pencil", Torme recalled. "They started, 'Chestnuts roasting..., Jack Frost nipping..., Yuletide carols..., Folks dressed up like Eskimos.' Bob didn't think he was writing a song lyric. He said he thought if he could immerse himself in winter he could cool off. Forty minutes later that song was written. I wrote all the music and some of the lyrics."
The Nat King Cole Trio first recorded the song in June 1946.
Dedicated to all beautiful peoples of our world!
Peace and Joy is my wish for all!!!

Will You Choose is born as a Collaboration Project from Danny aka "Theforgotten toy box" aka "danthecoat" from "Songcrafters.org".
His idea came in as a chord progression, and some melody lines.
His graciousness and generosity allowed me free reins on any direction I need to go in terms of lyrics and melody.
The tune inspired me to write about our choices in life, and the possibilities we gain.
This song is dedicated to all suffering peoples of our world, especially the dying and the sick. Peace, hope, and consolation fill your hearts and mind.
The Sea Song is a Collaboration Project.
This song is by ingolee and steban of Indie Recording Depot.
They asked me to collaborate with them, and see what I can come up with, on their musical composition. I told them that they might not be able to recognize their song after I am done with it, and they trusted me - Yeayyyy!!!
I love the intimacy of this song, and peaceful vibe it brings.
Thank you steban and ingolee for asking me to sing your composition!!!
And thank you for your trust and confidence, and patience, most especially for your generosity and graciousness.
I am so honored and proud to be a part of this song journey
Loved it!!!

Wrapped In Your Everlasting Love, is a Collaboration Project initiated by Owen aka Rainy Day Man from The Songwriter's Forum. Owen asked me to complete a song idea which is all of Verse 1.

I just inundated the Chorus with "wrapped in your everlasting love" as this is song is all about that!!!
Thank you Owen, for asking me to write this song with you!!!
You are a musical genius!!!
Love this song!!!

Beautiful song, with a joyful and hopeful message.

"Fair Winds and Following Seas"
I am dedicating this song to all peoples searching for peace and hope in our troubled world.
Blue sky day, blue sky day,
Is there anything better than this?
Everyone, come out to play,
This blue sky is just pure bliss
Blue sky dreams I can't resist
Oh I want you so much,
How I long to feel your touch
But even when you're miles away,
We're as one on this beautiful day
Oh hold me close,
Don't you ever let me go
Oh hold me close,
Let me bask in your afterglow
Blue sky dreaming on these blue sky days,
Not a cloud to be seen
The sun is out you can feel its rays,
This blue sky is so serene
I'm just lost in my blue sky dream

I want my prayers, my songs to be heard. I grew up Catholic and I have been composing songs since I was 16. I compose in different languages. I sing my own songs and play most of the instruments. My goal is to share my gift with the Catholic world, the gift God gave me. As they say, singing is praying twice. I want also people to know how Catholicism is universal. The only difference is the language but everything is the same. I want to share my ways of praising the Lord's name, and...
I'm a harpist who arranges and records Gregorian chant for Irish wire-strung harp. In 2014 I released my first commercial CD, Vox Celeste, an album of eight layered tracks reminiscent of Enya's work, that featured my harp, pipe organ and synthesizer. Currently I'm working on my second studio album, Harpe Grégorienne, due out early next year. Vox Celeste is currently available on most major streaming platforms (with the exception of Spotify).
I have produced some CD albums of Catholic Christian music which were used very successfully as a fundraiser for our building project at the Basilica of St Paul in Daytona Beach Florida. Some of the songs have become "hits" with the congregation and in other parishes in surrounding areas. I'm certain that others throughout the Catholic Christian community would enjoy hearing, learning and using them in worship and fellowship settings I would like to know more about the path to distribution....
I have been looking for a song forever and wanted to post a comment to see if anyone knows a cd that it is on or even all of the lyrics. It is a Mary song for kids.
I'm an aspiring Catholic artist here in Brooklyn, NY. I would like to use my music to evangelize and spread the message of Gods mercy, love, light and joy to all who may come to hear it. I would also love to collaborate with other musicians and grow in faith and fellowship through praise and song.

I am a Catholic artist who has recorded three albums over the last 15 years. My latest release "Bountiful" was written primarily during the pandemic and highlights how these events call us to an even greater union with God. I began with a small band, and now am primarily a solo artist, writing, and performing all music.
