I was thinking about the saying its a small world and viewed from space it really is.
Nasa have a shot from voyager which shows planet earth as a spec......
Then I got to thinking about the God who made it all and keeps it going and realised from that perspective my everyday life and its problems fade into insignificance, yet the Big God who made it all watches over me ...
No matter what opposes you that devil is small in comparison to GOD's greatness.... keep trusting in Him...
... and hence this track which was written recently with a bluesy gospel feel.... and a driving rythmn .... its a small world but He's a BIG GOD

enjoy
:-)

lyrics
small world BIG GOD by Gerry O'Connell
--------------------------------------------------

Small world Big God
Little devil mighty Lord

I was tossed by storms
On a raging sea
But there was someone
Watching over me
He snapped the chains of slavery
Trusting my saviour rescued me

Small world Big God
Little devil mighty Lord
Woah oh Woah oh oh

Before time began
He made the plan
To come and rescue a fallen man
A rugged cross, an empty tomb
The risen Christ, in the upper room

Small world Big God
Little devil mighty Lord
Woah oh Woah oh oh

A shepherd boy took the giant down
There's no intimidation when Gods in town
Dat little bitty debil , he got to flee
Coz God and me are a majority

Small world Big God
Little devil mighty Lord
Woah oh Woah oh oh

It may seem confusing
But there ain't no doubt
He's a mighty God of power
And the truth is out
Feel his love like an ocean
Overwhelming you its true

Small world Big God
Little devil mighty Lord

You never never know what can happen
When you come into
The presence of
A King

lyrics
SUCH GREAT LOVE (Blood was shed)
by Gerry O’Connell

Blood was shed
But now I know
That cleansing, healing power
Still flows.
Jesus died, so I go free
No mistake
His blood was shed for me.

Words just fail me
Mere words could not express
The depth of gratitude, From this saved soul
In quiet moments
I raise my praise
Amazed by the scale
Of such great love.
Such great love.
How can I forget
Such great love.

Blood was shed
He stood in my stead
He was scourged
And left for dead
He hung in shame
Endured the pain,
Took the blame
He paid my debt.

I can’t forget
The blood He shed
Has paid my debt
I can’t forget….
How can I forget
Such great love.

I’ve been set free
So wonderfully
I’m glad that Jesus died for me
How can I forget
Such great love.

Based on words from the bible ... an atmospheric worshipful... thoughtful... song ... with drums!
lyrics
The spirit of the Lord
Is upon me
The spirit of the Lord
Is upon me
To bring good news
Good news
To the Poor the Poor

Sending me to comfort
The broken hearted

Compassion, releases, prisoners
Compassion, announces good news
The favour of the Lord
Has come

The spirit of the Lord
The spirit of the Lord
Is Bringing peace
He’s in this place
Healing all their pain
Bringing peace
Bringing release

laid down a great Jazz funky riff and was inspired to write a song quoting a poem by James Allan Francis (1864–1928) .. about the most amazing person in history ... ONE SOLITARY LIFE ... YEAH!

lyrics

.......all the armies that ever marched, and all the navies that ever were built, and all the parliaments that ever sat, all the kings that ever reigned, put together have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as has this... One Solitary Life.

A bit different ... a take on FTGF... a techno Hymn...
lyrics
Fight the good fight with all your might;
Christ is your Strength and Christ your Right.
Lay hold on life, and it shall be
Your joy and crown in eternity.

Run the straight race thro' God's good grace;
Lift up your eyes and seek His face.
Life with its way before us lies;
Christ is the Path and Christ the Prize.

Cast care aside; upon your Guide
Lean, and His mercy will provide;
Lean, and the trusting soul shall prove
Christ is its Life and Christ its Love.

Faint not nor fear, His arms are near;
He does not change, and you are dear.
Only believe, and you shall see
That Christ is All in all to thee.

"And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won’t follow immediately. Remember Christ has your life in his hands"

The future is full of hope .... One Day ... we'll see it happen !
lyrics
ONE DAY

One Day we'll see it happen
One Day it will be real
One Day the dream will cease to be
For All will be revealed

A house of love and harmony
A tower of joy and peace
A restaurant to the hungry
Where prisoners are released

We all look to right injustice
We all long to see men set free
For all God's people on this planet
We Cry Freedom, Let it Be!

One Day

New Year ... NEW Track :-) Just improved the mastering enjoy!
lyrics
Lost in darkness
Mind was so confused
Would not listen
Man I just refused
My world was shaking
Aching with regret
You set me free
I'm forever in your debt

Forever Forever, Forever in your debt
Forever we never, can forget

You are Creator
No matter what they said
World needs a Saviour
To pay up for our debt
Hell is the problem
We sinned lets not forget
No need to argue
Please don't get upset
You say you'll take your chances
But you can't win that bet.

Forever Forever, Forever in your debt
Forever we never, can forget

Resurrection Day written on Easter Day 2023 Meditation on Jesus gave His Life an atonement for sin and opened the door of salvation on Resurrection Day up from the grave
The mighty King of Kings and Lord of Lords Hallelujah 
The track imagines the Resurrection of Christ and the tremendous impact of which has brought the gospel to the world 

Resurrection Day

God is my defense
He's the Fighter
My wrong righter

I am trusting trusting
Trusting in the Lord
Oh yeah

the fighter my wrong righter

Martin Luther King Jr 
said I have a dream for freedom and justice and equality... hope for the future 
the music is hopeful and shoes the struggle for freedom is costly
Christ died to set all men free from sin

I have a dream that One Day...

Everywhere today we see the signs of the end times, and we know that Jesus Christ is coming soon Maranatha
He's Coming Back SOON
We should all be ready for His Return
I wish we could all be ready

He's Coming Back Soon
