sound to quiet the noise
As we move into the season of Lent this coming week and ponder the mysteries of our longings and fallibility, of Jesus’ willingness to be falsely accused and unjustly executed, of his final victory over darkness and death and what that means to us…I offer this piano setting of a poem I wrote based on John Donne’s Holy Sonnet 10, known for it’s opening line “Death be not proud”.
Grace and peace to you…

I missed my normal Sunday post – apologies, life is a little out of kilter right now. I think I’ll need to go back to posting just once a week here for the time being. Thanks for following; grace and peace to you…

Music today! A setting I did quite some time back of Psalm 131:
O Lord, my heart is not lifted up,
my eyes are not raised too high;
I do not occupy myself with things
too great and too marvelous for me.
But I have calmed and quieted my soul,
like a child quieted at its mother’s breast;
like a child that is quieted is my soul.O Israel, hope in the Lord
from this time forth and for evermore.
Grace and peace to you…

This is a musical prayer especially for the ‘little ones’ of the earth, those who are weak, vulnerable, overlooked, and often oppressed. I posted it in April, 2016 where I say a bit more about the title.
I share Lize’s wishlist…
