I love writing music for Psalms. It makes my job as a songwriter that much easier (kidding). But especially with Psalms, I have God as my lyricist! 

Here are the lyrics:

CHORUS
Fill us, fill us with Your love 
And we will sing for joy
We will sing for joy

(Descant)
Fill us with Your love forever
Fill us with Your joy o Father
Fill us with Your love forever
Fill us with Your joy o Father

VERSE 1
Teach us to count up the days
And we shall come to the heart of wisdom.   
Come back, how long must we wait?
Take pity on your servants.   

VERSE 2
Fill us with Your faithful love
And we will be happy all our days   
Let our joy be for all time
For the love You've given us   

VERSE 3
Show us all the things you do
Let our children see Your splendor!  
Give all Your sweetness to us
To confirm what we have done   Read Full Story >>>

Here is a new song sent to me by my friend in Brazil, Antonio Resende. 

Antonio wrote:

This song was inspired by "Ecclesiastes 3" and the theological virtues. As there is time for everything, we need to believe that a better time will come. It is the Hope in Christ, which is our true anchor in the face of the hardships and sufferings of this world. It is about living an active hope, with love and trust.
When I started production, the initial idea was to make a stylized Bolero. With almost everything set, I wondered if it would not be best to go for something orchestrated. It was then that I received a message from my wife (who did not know about the music) who said that Saint Teresa of Avila was dancing with God playing the castanets. It was the answer I needed. Then, Here is the invite, so that you can also dance with God to the sound of this serene Bolero.

Thanks and God Bless,
Antonio Resende

Daddy

It seems like yesterday that she came to me to say:
Sit down I've got some news I want to tell you.
We're going to have a son. Yes, I'll have your little one.
Someone soon is going to call you Daddy.

I told her that's a big surprise for a man on the rise.
With so much to do, I told her sadly:
Don't do this to me. Some other time, you'll see,
Someone else will call us Mom and Daddy.

She said there's other ways. There’s so many folks today
who’d give everything they own to have a baby.
I said just give it up, it wasn't meant to be.
No one has to know but you and me...  Read Full Story >>>
