This was a song I wrote in 2005 at a Camps Farthest Out (CFO) camp. 

God's Peace

I recorded this in 2011 with my friend, Diego Cadogan, who artfully mixed it for me. The ending was created by my friend, Isabel Jones, and used it with her permission.

His Eye Is On The Sparrow

Performed by Mezzo-Soprano Elizabeth Cochrane, "O Thou Searcher of Hearts" is the alto solo from a setting of Psalm 51 with words paraphrased by Rev. Dr. Neil Weatherhogg and music composed by Dr. Gordon McQuere. The piece is set for mixed chorus, soloists, string quartet, and organ. It was premiered on April 9, 2017, at First Presbyterian Church in Topeka, KS. 

"O Thou Searcher of Hearts, your sovereign contemplation becomes our restless yearning to find the truth that sets us free. Bathe us, we pray, with divine wisdom; make us whiter than snow. Though sin and sorrow have crushed our bones, let joy and gladness rise in resplendent song. Look away, lest you see our shame. Wash away the evil that lies within, so joy and gladness may rise in resplendent song."
