Lord without you nothing can we do 
But with you  we can do what you will us to
Lord with you nothing is impossible
So you make us capable to do
All you will  all.  us do  

Where there is hatred

1 )As you slowly form us - in your life and love
we become ever more like you dear Lord
With burning deep desire to share with everyone
The joy  of living in our Father’s will
2 )
We who've  been forgiven and we who've been redeemed

(For St. Joan of Arc, 1412?-1431)

No one girl
Nowhere town
Were you on your way to forgotten
Or was there something different even from the start

Violence
All around
When heaven called down to a daughter
To stand before an army and lead them in war

Betrayal
Lost success
Caught in the ugliness of politics
And the course of corruption ended in fire

I never
Saw twenty
But looking back from eternity
I now understand the price, the point of it all
 

Grace filled lady you know each our name
All of your children in spirit and truth
Virgin most humble blessed and pure
Overflowing with grace from all holy God

REFRAIN
Dear mama  you teach us the way    
Dear dear dear mama how to love and pray

Originally composed in G major, this cover is recorded in D - a lower key for easier access by the congregation during mass. 

A great hymn with the theme of vocation, it accentuates God's call by the person's name. In fact, it explores the notion of vocation as a community's call to dedicate our lives to God: 'no need to fear for He is near'. However, that concept of dedication is mostly attributed to one's commitment for love between one person and God, that, by such answer to the call, they have become one in heart, and that is nourished by the gift of faithful love.

Instead of 6 verses, I only used the first 3 verses.

Lord your love is eternal   Do not forsake the work of your hands

Verse

1) As  we ponder all you’ve done to adopt us as your daughters and sons
Many haven’t heard or know and enmity among them grows
HOW  indifferent so many are  how many worship their own star 
How much sorrow and pain - how many lost in fog and  so  vain        
living off the wealth of the past in a world culture that cannot last
Refrain

YOU SAY  WE ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH
And its light through  our Baptismal birth
And send us to all who are lukewarm
To all who've  been un or misinformed . 

1 )
 You are our peace
Calling us to rest in you
Here you renew us and fulfill our deepest desire
Giving us a foretaste  of knowing you in heaven
And know our dear Father  in  divine glory

1) Lord, you hold the oceans in your hand     
You numbered every grain of sand                        
Let us be still  and listen to you voice
And live in you and rejoice

2) Behold our God you are love and truth
Now let us adore you
Behold our King, who died for all our sins

I saw a woman wand’ring in the desert
Just outside the city line
I called out to her from a distance
To where she walked with a torch as dusk fell

When I got close I saw her skin was blistered
I asked if she needed help
She said she was happy to be there
As she left bloody footprints in the sand

She said the city had been too cruel to her
Time there made her run away
She felt better out in the wild
But her cracked lips were bleeding when she spoke

New Catholic EP with a vintage yacht rock vibe

1 
When we ponder all your works O Lord
We're  overjoyed with awe 
When we ponder your works to come
 A New heaven and  new earth
Our whole being a new birth

2
O to know you as we're known to you
O to see you face to face
And to hear your voice divine
And drink with you your new  wine

REFRAIN     
Now we live and persevere
In your love and  life O Lord

Jesus Makes Our World So Beautiful is a Christmas song co-written by Dan vi Nguyen, Richard Schletty and André van Haren. Dan posted her lyrics here and asked if anyone could make a song out of her words. Richard Schletty rewrote the lyrics to give them a consistent rhyme, line length, metrical pattern and overall poetic structure. Then Richard came up with a melody. Next, André van Haren wrote a beautiful piano arrangement based on an a cappella recording of the melody by Richard. Using Sibelius, André engraved the sheet music not only for piano and voice, but developed the song fully by adding guitar chords and two additional instruments: flute and cello. He also engraved a version of the song with optional SATB harmonies in the refrain.

VERSE 1
A child is born to Mary through the Spirit,
Surrounded by the warmth of sheep and oxen.
In this humble manger, on this joyful night,
Is the promised one for all generations!

CHORUS
Jesus is the way to peace and joy.
He shows us how to be merciful.
He's the bright star we all need in our lives.
Jesus makes our world so...

This traditional Marian song was believed to have originated with Coptic Christians in 250AD. This rendition of the song was composed by Louis Lambillotte SJ. I sang it in the low key of E. Hope you like it and my guitar accompaniment.

Holy Mother hear our prayer. As your poor children we come to you
We need your help in this fight. For the poor souls lost in this night
Holy Mother intercede in this time of our greatest need 
You love each one of us that your son died for out of pure love!

REFRAIN
HOLY MOTHER YOU SHOWED US HOW
TO LIVE IN HUMBLE SIMPLICITY
Queen of Martyrs with the King of Martyrs 

Let all things now living a song of thanksgiving
To God our Father triumphantly raise
Who fashioned and made us, protected and saved us,
Who guideth us on to the end of our days.
His banners are o’er us, his light goes before us
A pillar of fire shining forth in the night:

2) The Lord is exalted over all the nations,
    his glory above the heavens.
