For all the dreamers and the lovers of this wonderful world!
There is hope and love.
Life and love is a journey, and like a living organism, both has to be tended to and fed.

This song is especially dedicated to my lovely wife, Mimi!!!

Original composition by Rene A, JUN 2022.

Responsorial Psalm 33(34):2-9

From all my terrors the Lord set me free.

I will bless the Lord at all times,
His praise always on my lips;
in the Lord my soul shall make its boast.
The humble shall hear and be glad.

From all my terrors the Lord set me free.

Glorify the Lord with me.
Together let us praise His name.
I sought the Lord and He answered me;
from all my terrors He set me free.

Responsorial Psalm 15(16):1-2,5,7-11

O Lord, it is You who are my portion.

Preserve me, God, I take refuge in You.
I say to the Lord: ‘You are my God.
O Lord, it is You who are my portion and cup;
it is You yourself who are my prize.’

O Lord, it is You who are my portion.

I will bless the Lord who gives me counsel,
who even at night directs my heart.
I keep the Lord ever in my sight:

Make You Feel My Love.  Written by Bob Dylan in 1997.

This song is dedicated to all my family and friends.

And also to all peoples that do not have anybody to express their love and devotion to.

Responsorial Psalm 138(139):1-3,13-15

I thank You for the wonder of my being.

O Lord, You search me and You know me,
You know my resting and my rising,
You discern my purpose from afar.
You mark when I walk or lie down,
all my ways lie open to You.

I thank You for the wonder of my being.

For it was You who created my being,
knit me together in my mother’s womb.

Responsorial Psalm 109(110):1-4

You are a priest for ever, a priest like Melchizedek of old.

The Lord’s revelation to my Master:
‘Sit on my right:
your foes I will put beneath your feet.’

You are a priest for ever, a priest like Melchizedek of old.

The Lord will wield from Zion
your sceptre of power:
rule in the midst of all your foes.

We need peace and love.
Individually, we need 'em.

In this world, you have to go to war to gain peace, and fight to be able to love.
Very very strange world, we are in.
But, at any rate, we truly need peace and love in our troubled world!!!

This song, I composed, is dedicated to my Grandson, Misiri Kalayaan!!!
All my love to you, and my peace I give you!!!

Responsorial Psalm 103(104):1,24,29-31,34

Send forth Your spirit, O Lord, and renew the face of the earth.

Bless the Lord, my soul!
Lord God, how great You are,
How many are Your works, O Lord!
The earth is full of Your riches.

Send forth Your spirit, O Lord, and renew the face of the earth.

You take back Your spirit, they die,
returning to the dust from which they came.

Stellar review of the album "Forgive" by J-P Mauro of Aleteia.

 

The Light is a song composed by Derek Brown.

Derek requested for me to sing his song, and this is my offering to all peoples in the dark.  And His light is for all, and specifically for the marginalized, the lost, the outcast, and the sinners!!!

Thank you Derek for letting me be a part of your song journey.

Responsorial Psalm 46(47):2-3,6-9

God goes up with shouts of joy; the Lord goes up with trumpet blast.

All peoples, clap your hands,
cry to God with shouts of joy!
For the Lord, the Most High, we must fear,
great king over all the earth.

God goes up with shouts of joy; the Lord goes up with trumpet blast.

God goes up with shouts of joy;
the Lord goes up with trumpet blast.

Lee O'Day was gracious enough to interview me on 105.3 KSWZ-LP The Sword of St. George.  He has a Saturday night show that plays contemporary Catholic music.  You can listen from anywhere at kswzlp.com.  The spoken part of this segment begins at 1:53.  

I was talking to a Protestant friend the other day who wanted to hear some of the Catholic music I was doing.  After listening to this track, there were a few polite questions and then the comment, "I never understood that.  This song is quite educational."  

I previously posted the lyric video to this track but here's a link so you can listen on your favorite music service:

Bridges and Walls, Original Words and Music by Rene A

We need to make a serious choice, today!!!
Not tomorrow!

Do we build walls; or bridges that can allow communication, understanding and love to start creeping and can someday stand united.

Make love, not war!!!
Peace and hope be in our troubled world!!!

Responsorial Psalm 66(67):2-3,5-6,8

Let the peoples praise You, O God; let all the peoples praise You.

O God, be gracious and bless us
and let Your face shed its light upon us.
So will Your ways be known upon earth
and all nations learn Your saving help.

Let the peoples praise You, O God; let all the peoples praise You.

Let the nations be glad and exult
for You rule the world with justice.
