Enjoy the Voice of Comfort with John Bauer of Bethlehem, Pa. at www.johnbauer.com

My life in sharing Catholic Christian Music has been one of Simplicity and Sincerity.  Recently I compiled nearly 58 songs/hymns that I recorded over the last 20+ years which are now available exclusively thru my website. While still sharing the Gift of Music at select Independent, Assisted Living, and Alzheimer's Resident homes, here in our Lehigh Valley area and beyond, there remains in my heart a most fond memory of visiting the St. Joseph-in-the-Hills Retreat Home in Malvern, Pa., as their guest soloist for their Saturday evening programming...
 

Responsorial Psalm 26(27):1,7-9,13-14

The Lord is my light and my help.

The Lord is my light and my help;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
before whom shall I shrink?

The Lord is my light and my help.

O Lord, hear my voice when I call;
have mercy and answer.
Of you my heart has spoken:
‘Seek His face.’

The Lord is my light and my help.

It is Your face, O Lord, that I seek;
hide not Your face.
Dismiss not Your servant in anger;
You have been my help.

The Lord is my light and my help.

I am sure I shall see the Lord’s goodness
in the land of the living.
Hope in Him, hold firm and take heart.
Hope in the Lord!

The Lord is my light and my help.

ERETZ YISRAEL Sound and music of the Holy Land.

A song about the Holy Land, a bit of history, and a bit of His word.
And yes, conflict and struggle is a way of life in the region.
Peace, and going to the Promise Land, our journey's destination.

Pray for peace in our world!

*********************************
The Promised Land, Words and Music by Rene A
Oh… Eretz Yisrael
From Dan to Beersheba
A covenant to Abraham’s descendants
The Promised Land

Destiny, hope, and redemption
The struggle to escape slavery and darkness
For King to shout “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop”
Give glory to His coming

Holy land
Promise land
Conflict and peace, a journey of life.

No Jew nor Gentile
Neither slave nor free
Neither male nor female
For you are all one in Christ

I am releasing this song my lovely daughter beautifully sang, as an offering for peace and safety of Ukrainian people all around the world.  

I can still remember her singing this same song when she was a little girl, as she would hear me and my wife sing this tune together.
Hope we can turn back time and just enjoy the good times.

Responsorial Psalm 90(91):1-2,10-15

Be with me, O Lord, in my distress.

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
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.

Upon you no evil shall fall,
no plague approach where you dwell.
For you has He commanded His angels,
to keep you in all your ways.

Be with me, O Lord, in my distress.

They shall bear you upon their hands
lest you strike your foot against a stone.
On the lion and the viper you will tread
and trample the young lion and the dragon.

Be with me, O Lord, in my distress.

His love he set on Me, so I will rescue him;
protect him for he knows My name.
When he calls I shall answer: ‘I am with you,’
I will save him in distress and give him glory.

Be with me, O Lord, in my distress.

Inspired by our trip to the Holy Land, 13FEB to 24FEB2022, with Father Mel Strazizich of St Mary Anacortes WA and Father Thomas Tran of St. Michaels Olympia WA.

We are so blessed to have visited Israel and the Holy Land, and all of its beauty and grandeur and history, all to ourselves. We were the first Holy Land pilgrims after 2 years of close-down due to the pandemic.

This hymn is dedicated to the Ukrainian people and for peace in our world.

Holy Mary Mother of God, Pray for Us!!!

Responsorial Psalm 50(51):3-6,12-14,17

Have mercy on us, O Lord, for we have sinned.

Have mercy on me, God, in Your kindness.
In Your compassion blot out my offence.
O wash me more and more from my guilt
and cleanse me from my sin.

Have mercy on us, O Lord, for we have sinned.

My offences truly I know them;
my sin is always before me
Against You, You alone, have I sinned;
what is evil in Your sight I have done.

Have mercy on us, O Lord, for we have sinned.

A pure heart create for me, O God,
put a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from Your presence,
nor deprive me of Your holy spirit.

Have mercy on us, O Lord, for we have sinned.

Give me again the joy of Your help;
with a spirit of fervour sustain me,
O Lord, open my lips
and my mouth shall declare Your praise.

Have mercy on us, O Lord, for we have sinned.

All My Life is from the album Silent Letter, the eighth studio album by American folk rock duo America, released by Capitol Records in June 1979.

America is one of my favorite band, growing up with this wonderful duo.  I literally grew up with America songs, and would like to dedicate this song to all my co-pilgrims to the Holy Land in Israel.  A once in a lifetime visit to Jesus' land.  We are so fortunate to have visited this beautiful and historic place, and so blessed to have the Holy sites to ourselves as Israel just recently opened their borders to the pildgrims of the world.

Alleluia!!!

Responsorial Psalm 91(92):2-3,13-16

It is good to give You thanks, O Lord.

It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to make music to You name, O Most High,
to proclaim Your love in the morning
and Your truth in the watches of the night.

It is good to give You thanks, O Lord.

The just will flourish like the palm tree
and grow like a Lebanon cedar.

It is good to give You thanks, O Lord.

Planted in the house of the Lord
they will flourish in the courts of our God,
still bearing fruit when they are old,
still full of sap, still green,
to proclaim that the Lord is just.
In Him, my rock, there is no wrong.

It is good to give You thanks, O Lord.
