Song Sheet
If You Trust in God
The only
piece I've written based on the Book of Proverbs. A
commission from Gretna Christian Church (Disciples
of Christ), Gretna VA, on the occasion of their
100th anniversary in October 2011.
Winds of Change
I wrote
"Winds of Change" April 16, 2007, the morning after a
terrible spring storm, and the wind was still
wild. I was staying at a friend's lake house at
Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia. The electricity was
off, and public radio on my battery-powered radio was a little scratchy out there, but I could make out reports coming from Virginia
Tech, where 32 students and faculty died in a mass
shooting. I kept working on the song, and by the time I finished, it
had a whole new meaning for me.
Great Cloud of Witnesses
Based on
Hebrews 12:1, this was written in memory of Hannah
Herward, Covenant Member of the Church of the
Covenant, who died in August 2010. It was also
written for Sandy Fisher, Covenant Member and
director of Chrysalis Interfaith Retreat Center.
Sandy worked closely with Hannah in her final weeks
to plan a children's butterfly garden, Hannah's
parting gift to the community.
