Jesus is all the world to me, My life, my joy, my all; 
He is my strength from day to day, 
Without Him I would fall. 
When I am sad, to Him I go, 
No other one can cheer me so; 
When I am sad, He makes me glad, 
He's my friend.

Jesus is all the world to me, my friend in trials sore; 
I go to Him for blessings and 
He gives them ov'r and o'er. 
He sends the sunshine an...

Lord I surrender all
To Your strong and faithful hand
In everything I will give thanks to You
I'll just trust Your perfect plan

When I don't know what to do
I'll lift my hands
When I don't know what to say
I'll speak Your praise
When I don't know where to go
I'll run to Your throne
When I don't know what to think

Hi Folks,
Welcome to another episode of A Song a Day Keeps Coronavirus away!
Thanks so much for tuning in despite my absence. I had some voice issues and personal issues. Thank God they are both better now, however, I will be going back to work full-time as of Monday, May 12th so I will most likely only be able to manage 1 or 2 episodes a week.

But who knows? It takes me awhile now because I have to g...

Hi everyone,

Welcome to another episode of A Song a Day (Keeps Coronavirus away).Excuse the tinny sound of the background music. I decided to try something new this weekend. Singing with myself. By the time I recorded the top harmony, it was over!

I Trust in God written by William C. Martin (1864-1914) 

It's amazing how the wonderful gift of lyrics and the music that accompanies it can bless us.

1.
I trust in God wherever I may be,
Upon the land or on the rolling sea,
For, come what may, from day to day,
My heav'nly Father watches over me.

Chorus
I trust in God, I know He cares for me,
On mountain ble...

The lyrics were born way before any music was added. I don't know about anyone else but my creative juices begin flowing when I'm in angst and boy was that an ...

Day 31 of A Song a Day (Keeps Coronavirus away). I cannot believe that I have been doing this for thirty-one days already.

That being said, the title of this song and the sentiment are quite apropos. If anyone would have told me that an averred loner like myself is ready to assault someone just to get a hug, I would have said, nope, that's not me.

It's amazing what we can learn about oursel...

Day 26 of A Song a Day (Keeps Coronavirus away)

Sorry for the extended absence folks. The week after Easter is always full of exhaustion for me. It's that way every year and I keep forgetting...every year.

Due to the downtime by COVID, I have been able to let the creative juices flow a bit. To that end, this episode is a snippet of a song I wrote today.

Hello and welcome to another episode of An Uplifting Song a Day (Keeps Coronavirus Away)

Today's song encourages us to consider putting aside some time daily to spend with God. The outcome of time spent with God is that He is able to take away what troubles us because He invites us to share our desires with Him.

Welcome to Episode 19 of a Song a Day (Keeps Coronavirus Away) - Episode #3 Revisited.

In this take, we raise the following question:

How many times do we really listen to a song? Yes, I know, we hear the music/tune, but what about the lyrics?

Well, since most of us have more time on our hands than usual, why don't we practice listening a little closer? Say about 5 - 9 minutes a day?
