Honored to have played the Requiem Funeral Mass for my cousin Margaret Samuelian.  I wanted this to be a beautiful prayer before God's throne at her funeral mass. I felt that during her mass -  Margaret and all the Angels were smiling from above!  I am sure Margaret had a part in getting this song reworked and recorded! I prayed for/and to her constantly leading up to the Requiem Mass  - and this song inspired from the direct words of Psalm 16 came out of that prayer. It gave me tremendous comfort, hope and faith that in Heaven, God has prepared for us something that we cannot even begin to imagine!  And the assurance that there will indeed be "Fullness of Joy in His Presence - Forever and Ever and Ever!  It made me realize that my limited human mind cannot fathom Infinity and the limitless depths of God's Love and Mercy!

Note:    Recorded with a Zoom H4n mic,  Yairi Alvarez guitar and M-Audio Keyboard Controller ("Lighter Shade Organ" sound)  with Garage Band App on an i-mac mini

Psalm 16 -  Margaret Samuelian Funeral Apr. 5th, 2023 "Margaret's Psalm"

I wrote this song  on guitar in an open tuning. I was  inspired after reading Hannah Hurnard's "Mountain of Spices" - a Christian Classic Allegorical Story  comparing the Spices in the Song of Solomon in the Bible to the "Fruits" of the Holy Spirit manifested in our lives.  "Peace" is the "Atonement of Love" in ch. 6.
Recorded back in 2014 on Pro Tools with  Yairi Alvarez guitar and M-Audio keyboard controller, (Bass, ethereal voices). Hope it gives you as much Peace as it always has given to me.
