The Intended Listening order for the Tracks on SharePoint. MTR

January 13, 2017 - 8:02pm — MTR

There are now 13 Tracks on my SharePoint site.  11 from A Cup of Cold Water, and two Bonus Tracks from my derivitive work Ambient  Seashore.  They are designed to take you on a Spiritual Journey if you listen to them in the right order.  That order is:

1. Baptism Song

2. Ambient Seashore

3. Trinity

4. Meditation II

5. Communion Song

6. Song for Thomas

7. All my Trials

8. Prayer of St. John Paul the Great

9. River of Life

10. Morning of the Last Day

11. Take Five

The other two Tracks, with my acccompanying partner, Bill Hughes - Tenor, are Freebies taken from my Derivative work Ambient Seashore, which is intended to be of the Genre Christian Contemporary (it has all of the strictly Catholic Tracks removed so as not to scare away the Christians) are Roll Down the Ages & I Am the Vine. Those two Tracks are special because I lost them for a time, and my curious oldest son found them among the hard drives of our outdated Gateway computers with P5 166 MHz Pentium processors in them that refuse to die.  In any event consider them as Dessert.  I am including with this Post a PDF of the Info & Lyrics from A Cup of Cold Water to remind you of why you're willing to spend an hour or more (depending on the Download Rate of your Internet Connection.  I truly hope you enjoy listening to these Tracks the way they sounded on my SONY PROs when I recorded them.  MTR

Top Holy Spirit Songs

May 9, 2008 - 1:57pm — Nick Alexander
Nick Alexander here... The votes have been tallied and counted, and according to the community of Top Catholic Songs, this is the list for the Top Holy Spirit Songs... just in time for Pentecost Sunday . Each of these songs express a particular devotion to the Holy Spirit, or a deeper yearning for His presence in our lives. We pray that you make these songs your own, as you realize that the Holy Spirit is our inheritance upon baptism and confirmation, and it is also the theme for this year's World Youth Day in Australia.
  1. Come Holy Spirit by Mark Mallett
    This song speaks of the intimate love and trust we should have in the Holy Spirit. Many speak of a personal relationship with Jesus... but how many of us seek to have a personal relationship with the third person of the Trinity?
  2. SpiritSong by Lynn Geyer
    You're fire in my heart center of my soul Light through the darkness Holy Spirit come, Holy Spirit come Guide me to your light, o Lord, Holy Spirit come
  3. The Dream by Stinging Rain
    I remember the first rehearsal of this song. I was on the phone in the room adjacent to the practice area when it was introduced and guys start playing it. Jon was laying out a sparse beat with his snares off and Nate was playing slide on his acoustic. I knew what kind of bass line I would play, a very simple one to complement the understated beat. Nate began singing dreamily, "Spirit, exalt yourself...." I knew at that moment that this song would become a favorite.
  4. Come Holy Spirit by Susan Bailey
    “Come Holy Spirit” uses the familiar prayer of the Church to invoke the fire of the Spirit for our hearts. It is based on reading #521 of To the Priests, Our Lady’s Beloved Sons, compiled by Don Stefano Gobbi.
  5. Come Holy Spirit by Celeste Zepponi
    Come Holy Spirit Fill the Hearts of your faithful And enkindle in us the fire of your love Send forth your spirit And we shall be recreated And You shall renew the face of the earth Yes You shall renew the face of the Earth
  6. Shine Out by George Lower
    I firmly believe that the Holy Spirit has worked in my own life through this particular song. It is my prayer that the Holy Spirit continues to use this song to encourage and strenghten the faithful of his church.
  7. Glory Be by ServantSong
    I sort of have songs in my head each time I say spoken prayers like the "Hail Mary" and "Our Father" but never had one for the "Glory Be" -- so I wrote one. I wrote about the Father in the first verse, Son in the second, and Holy Spirit in the bridge. The bridge a big part of the song, as it leads to the climactic vocals & drums only chorus before the final chorus. It's usually a fan favorite when we play live -- fun to sing along to.
  8. Sanctify by Annie Karto
    Sanctify, come Holy Spirit, come Sanctify... the work of Your Hands. All that I am... all I long to be...pour your Holy Spirit upon me. It is Your will, it is Your desire, to burn within me as a consuming fire.... Come Sanctify, the work of Your Hands.
  9. Gift of God by Nancy Krebs
    This song was inspired by the many titles given to the Holy Spirit. This has always been a song I've loved to share with others.
  10. Renew the Face of the Earth by Mel Kennedy
    This wonderful bi-lingual song is based on Psalm 104 (the Psalm for Pentecost). It's latin flavor gets you feelin the spirit!
