Responsorial Psalm 44(45):10-12,16 for the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

On your right stands the queen, in garments of gold.

The daughters of kings are among your loved ones.
On your right stands the queen in gold of Ophir.
Listen, O daughter, give ear to my words:
forget your own people and your father’s house.

On your right stands the queen, in garments of gold.

So will the king desire your beauty:
He is your lord, pay homage to him.
They are escorted amid gladness and joy;
they pass within the palace of the king.

On your right stands the queen, in garments of gold.

I wrote the melody and lyrics for this song.

For the first version, David Gomez Sanz recorded electric guitar and synths in 2005, set to my original simple lyrics that were written in 1973 while a student at St. John's University (Collegeville, MN).

For the second version, Paul F. Page created a beautiful piano and flute arrangement, set to expanded lyrics that I wrote in 2009.

Responsorial Psalm 39(40):2-4,18 for the 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C

Lord, come to my aid!

I waited, I waited for the Lord
and He stooped down to me;
He heard my cry.

Lord, come to my aid!

He drew me from the deadly pit,
from the miry clay.
He set my feet upon a rock
and made my footsteps firm.

Lord, come to my aid!

He put a new song into my mouth,
praise of our God.
Many shall see and fear
and shall trust in the Lord.

Lord, come to my aid!

As for me, wretched and poor,
the Lord thinks of me.
You are my rescuer, my help,
O God, do not delay.

Lord, come to my aid!

Responsorial Psalm 32(33):1,12,18-20,22 for the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C

Happy are the people the Lord has chosen as His own.

Ring out your joy to the Lord, O you just;
for praise is fitting for loyal hearts.
They are happy, whose God is the Lord,
the people He has chosen as His own.

Happy are the people the Lord has chosen as His own.

The Lord looks on those who revere Him,
on those who hope in His love,
to rescue their souls from death,
to keep them alive in famine.

Happy are the people the Lord has chosen as His own.

Our soul is waiting for the Lord.
The Lord is our help and our shield.
May Your love be upon us, O Lord,
as we place all our hope in You.

Happy are the people the Lord has chosen as His own.

Responsorial Psalm 94(95):1-2,6-9 for the 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C

O that today you would listen to His voice! ‘Harden not your hearts.’

Come, ring out our joy to the Lord;
hail the rock who saves us.
Let us come before Him, giving thanks,
with songs let us hail the Lord.

O that today you would listen to His voice! ‘Harden not your hearts.’

Come in; let us bow and bend low;
let us kneel before the God who made us:
for He is our God and we
the people who belong to His pasture,
the flock that is led by His hand.

O that today you would listen to His voice! ‘Harden not your hearts.’

O that today you would listen to His voice!
‘Harden not your hearts as at Meribah,
as on that day at Massah in the desert
when your fathers put me to the test;
when they tried Me, though they saw My work.’

O that today you would listen to His voice! ‘Harden not your hearts.’

When it comes to worldviews lived out, some outperform others.  That's not to say that suffering isn't part of our experience as Catholics as even Christ himself was here on Earth to suffer.  But a God-centric way of living life can go a long way to promoting a good society.  

Responsorial Psalm 137(138):1-3,6-8 for the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C

On the day I called, You answered me, O Lord.

I thank You, Lord, with all my heart:
You have heard the words of my mouth.
In the presence of the angels I will bless You.
I will adore before Your holy temple.

On the day I called, You answered me, O Lord.

I thank You for Your faithfulness and love,
which excel all we ever knew of You.
On the day I called, You answered;
You increased the strength of my soul.

On the day I called, You answered me, O Lord.

The Lord is high yet He looks on the lowly
and the haughty He knows from afar.
Though I walk in the midst of affliction
You give me life and frustrate my foes.

On the day I called, You answered me, O Lord.

You stretch out Your hand and save me,
Your hand will do all things for me.
Your love, O Lord, is eternal,
discard not the work of Your hands.

On the day I called, You answered me, O Lord.

I recently collaborated with Opus Joyous Studios (opusjoyous.com) in making an animation video for the lighthearted and fun bluegrass song "Serve the Lord" from my latest album. The chorus is based upon Psalm 99 (100) - serve the Lord in gladness.

Responsorial Psalm 14(15):2-5 for the 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C

The just will live in the presence of the Lord.

Lord, who shall dwell on Your holy mountain?
he who walks without fault;
he who acts with justice
and speaks the truth from his heart;
he who does not slander with his tongue.

The just will live in the presence of the Lord.

He who does no wrong to his brother,
who casts no slur on his neighbour,
who holds the godless in disdain,
but honours those who fear the Lord.

The just will live in the presence of the Lord.

He who keeps his pledge, come what may;
who takes no interest on a loan
and accepts no bribes against the innocent.
Such a man will stand firm for ever.

The just will live in the presence of the Lord.
