Refrain:
On a cross You gave Your life
A ransom for my sin
A sacrifice amazing
New life for me to win
Jesus, let me comprehend
The gratitude I owe
For the great love You give me
And Graces galore

Sometimes I fail to listen
To Your voice in my heart
My selfish mind then reckons
And justifies my thoughts
Lord, I do regret my every sinful deed
Please, please forgive me
Humbly I plead

Refrain

Often I fail to spurn
the tempter’s call
Help me to see the burn
Of my nonsensical fall
Strengthen my resolve to live within Your love
Grant me Your blessings
From heaven above

Refrain

Published 3 April 2017 by Jeff Ostrowski at Corpus Christi Watershed:

This year's Symposium will be spectacular, and the response—from all over the world—has been overwhelming. The musical program, which is close to being finalized, almost seems a direct response to an article I wrote last January entitled True Vs. False Diversity. We have a bewildering variety of styles, and new works by famous composers will be revealed.

The Credo, arranged by Chaumonot, uses 14th-century polyphony by a Catholic priest named Guillaume de Machaut, who died in 1377AD:

Fr. Machaut’s harmonies begin at the 0:28 marker:

TWO YOUNG LADIES IN HIGH SCHOOL, Sarah and Jacqueline, generously helped record the rehearsal videos for these 14th-century harmonies. Sing through each individual line (cf. #5984) because the power is revealed “horizontally.” We created the rehearsal videos to help choirmasters, who have such a difficult vocation! Just the other day, I was pondering how...

I've Just Come from the Fountain, sung at St. Mary's Church  3/19/2017 by Richard, his daughter Anne, and Mary Joy. Song for Christian Initiation; Holy Name; Holy Spirit; Spirituals and Gospel Songs; Water Rites and Devotion. 

Refrain:
I've just come from the fountain,
I've just come from the fountain,
Lord, I've just come from the fountain,
His name's so sweet. 

1. O brothers, I love Jesus.
O brothers, I love Jesus.
O brothers, I love... 

Come, O Spirit, Come was composed by Paul F. Page (pictured at left). Visit Paul's awesome music site: www.paulpage.org.

Paul sent these comments to me with the piece:

"For our Easter Vigil this year we’re singing the attached Taize-like ostinato meditation during the confirmations (solo, choir/assembly). It’s easy, short, and prayerful."

Celebrating the legacy of David Haas, Marty Haugen, and Michael Joncas

David, Marty, and Michael have been writing, singing, and performing together for over 30 years. This compilation of some of their best music—and one new one from each of them—will be sure to brighten your day.

They have donated their royalties on the sale of this CD to Music Ministry Alive, The Southside Family Nurturing Center and the University of St. Thomas with gratitude for God’s rich blessings on their lives.

Here is a story showing my progress in learning "Taste and See" – from my initial slow, choppy guitar exploration (first YouTube video), to my basement studio recording and mixdown using Paul's excellent, flowing piano track (second YouTube video), to our presentation at Mass on 2nd Sunday of Lent (audio file attachment at end of story). You can also download a piano soundtrack MP3 file and sing along or make your own recording (which I encourage you to share with us). 

Taste and See, based on Psalm 33, was composed by Paul F. Page (pictured at left). Visit Paul's awesome music site: www.paulpage.org

The third attachment, Taste and See-Paul Page-St. Mary.mp3, is our live presentation at St. Mary's Church at 4:30 Mass on 3/11/2017.

Taste And See (based on Psalm 33)

REFRAIN
Taste and see that the Lord is sweet. 
Blessed is the one who comes to Him. 
The blessed Lord is our refuge. He is our shield...  

My Light. My Salvation. (based on Psalm 34) was composed by Paul F. Page (pictured at left). Visit Paul's awesome music site: www.paulpage.org.

Although written for SAB choir, it can be presented entirely with solo voice. Another possibility is to have the assembly sing the refrain with a soloist doing the verses. It’s decidedly not a guitar-accompaniment number.

TCS admin Richard Schletty received this emailing from Keith at InspireSong:

Hi!

Keith Mohr here to let you know now is the time to register for INSPIRESONG 2017, being held May 18-21, 2017 in beautiful Aspen, CO! Flights into Denver are at their lowest 1-2 months out.

If you are a Christian songwriter who loves to "create with the creator," this event is for you! INSPIRESONG is the premier Christian songwriting event in 2017!

Come meet and learn from mentors, Matthew West, CCM Producer of the Year, Seth Mosely, WORD Songwriters, Benji and Jenna Cowart, Tony Wood, Matt Armstrong, Daniel Doss, Jonathan Lee, Jonathan Mason (WORD Worship director), Paul Herman (CCLI), Derek Brown (Crossroads Church Aspen, CO) Sue Mohr (The Inner Vizion) and Keith Mohr (Indieheaven.com, and creator/director of InspireSong)

Here's a great testimony that happened for an InspireSong 2016 attendee! This was taken from a Facebook Post from Derek Hoiem:

So, I gotta tell a cool story. About 18 months ago, when I was teaching one of my music business classes at Northwest University, a young bright-eyed sophomore student came up to me after class and handed me her demo EP. She said, "Professor Hoiem, can you tell me what you think of this? I would really like to have your opinion." I took the CD home, popped it in, and jaw. was. on. floor. She sounded like a young Amy Grant meets Kelly Clarkson. I came back to class the next week, and I said, "Leanna, I don't tell everyone this, but you definitely have something very special. Make plans. Be humble. And take one step at a time." Well, lo and behold, about six months later she attended the InspireSong conference by Keith Mohr. There she was spotted by Matthew West. Matthew was also blown away and has now brought her under his wing for a publishing deal and soon, you will hear her everywhere on Christian radio. I just thought this was a cool story of the Christian music community working together to bring great artists to the forefront. Congrats Leanna Crawford - I'm glad the world will hear you soon.

Psalm verses: PS 95:1-2, 6-7, 8-9

Who Am I to You? by Abraham Gross, featuring Connor Flanagan and Dan Minogue

Words from Abraham:

"Hi! I love praising Jesus. I grew up playing guitar, writing music and singing. I met Jesus in 2008. In 2009 I lived with songwriter Ed Conlin, who pushed me to learn to lead worship. Since then I have served and led worship with Saint Paul's Outreach. I currently serve as their National Worship Coordinator. I would love to lead worship at your next event!"
