Hello, I haven't been here for quite sometime and I went through a stage where my faith was slipping. Everything was hollow and empty and bleak the more I became enstranged from it. I'm doing my best to strengthen it again. So here is a little verse I wrote about where I'm at now.

 

Responsorial Psalm 50(51):3-4,12-13,17,19 for the 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C - WORDS + CHORDS

 

                              G                Em7        Am7 D7       G     G7

Response: I will leave this place and go    to my father.

 

              C              G     D                  Em

Have mercy on me, God, in Your kindness.

                        C              D                    G     G7

 In Your compassion blot out my offence.

       C                G               D                      Em

            C                                 D  D7

Will You Choose is born as a Collaboration Project from Danny aka "Theforgotten toy box" aka "danthecoat" from "Songcrafters.org".
His idea came in as a chord progression, and some melody lines.
His graciousness and generosity allowed me free reins on any direction I need to go in terms of lyrics and melody.

The tune inspired me to write about our choices in life, and the possibilities we gain.

This song is dedicated to all suffering peoples of our world, especially the dying and the sick. Peace, hope, and consolation fill your hearts and mind.

Will you become, what you should be
Embrace His love, carry your cross
His Resurrection, our eternal salvation
Choose to follow, embrace His love

Questions unanswered, don’t be confused
He has the answers, just heed His words
Paths of life, told in the parables
Open your mind, hear His voice

You and I, we are blinded...
 

The Sea Song is a Collaboration Project.
This song is by ingolee and steban of Indie Recording Depot.
They asked me to collaborate with them, and see what I can come up with, on their musical composition. I told them that they might not be able to recognize their song after I am done with it, and they trusted me - Yeayyyy!!!  
I love the intimacy of this song, and peaceful vibe it brings.

Thank you steban and ingolee for asking me to sing your composition!!!
And thank you for your trust and confidence, and patience, most especially for your generosity and graciousness.
I am so honored and proud to be a part of this song journey
Loved it!!!

My heart skips a beat
The world has stopped for me
 

Wrapped In Your Everlasting Love, is a Collaboration Project initiated by Owen aka Rainy Day Man from The Songwriter's Forum. Owen asked me to complete a song idea which is all of Verse 1. 

When I heard his song, I said to myself "This is awesome", and I wanted to make this a special project for Rainy Day Man and myself.
I just inundated the Chorus with "wrapped in your everlasting love" as this is song is all about that!!!

Thank you Owen, for asking me to write this song with you!!!
You are a musical genius!!!
Love this song!!!

My name is Jermaine Lawrence. I am a recording artist based out of Montreal, Canada that goes by the name of Mayne Champagne. Recently I put a together a song named Vanity. It is in response to rapper Kendrick Lamar mocking Jesus Christ by wearing a diamond crown of thorns and insinuating Jesus Christ co-signs abortions in 2022 as he states:

"They judge you, they judge Christ. God's speed for women's rights."

Here is a link to my song: https://youtu.be/txEAVb250Y8



Below is a write-up on me from a Christian based Montreal pro-life organization Campagne Quebec Vie. (It's written in French.)

https://www.cqv.qc.ca/artiste_montrealais_mayne_champagne_compose_une_chanson_pro_vie...

If you could pass this song/message amongst your organization it would be greatly appreciated. I find as time goes on, mainstream media has pushed the boundaries of mockery of Jesus Christ and all that He stands for. He certainly does not cosign abortions in 2022, contrary by popular belief.

This song is Collab Work, with original Music and Lyrics by Aldo (aka Sedda), from "A Member of the Public", from Australia.
Sedda asked my if I can make my own version of his song, Blue Sky Day, and I followed his lead.
Beautiful song, with a joyful and hopeful message.

As the saying goes;
"Fair Winds and Following Seas"
I am dedicating this song to all peoples searching for peace and hope in our troubled world.

Blue Sky Day

Blue sky day, blue sky day,                
Is there anything better than this?
Everyone, come out to play,
This blue sky is just pure bliss

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.

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.  

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.

Majestic Is Your Name, a song created by Terry Tornblom, words adapted from Psalm 8.

I am honored and grateful to be asked by Terry, to sing and interpret his beautiful musical composition of this beautiful psalm.


This song is dedicated to all the suffering peoples of our world!!!

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.
