In a hustle & bustle, cluttered-filled, reality TV driven world, I felt led to sit down at the keyboard tonight and write something simple, pure and "empty". Just a simple melody to God to say: "I like being in Your presence".  - Mark Peay 

A Hymn for Him

Just a random Gregorian Chant I made with Logic Pro and MIDI.  This is take one using a MIDI keyboard and Logic Pro :)

The second hymn, Be On Guard, for my hymn challenge.

October 31 // Reformation

refrain *

Be on guard. Watch that no one deceives you, claiming that, “I’m the One.” 
Such things must happen. Be my witnesses. The end is still to come.

verse one

You will hear of rumored wars. Children, nations - keep your head. 
Earthquakes, famines, will be near. These are just the beginning.*

verse two

It will go from bad to worse. On account of Me you will stand. 
As my witnesses to truth My gospel goes to all lands.*

verse three

You will be persecuted. Remember all they did to Me. 
Do not worry what you’ll say, words will come from the Spirit.*

verse four

Therefore we will never fear, though the earth and mountains give way. 
God is with us, we won’t fall. Our fortress LORD Almighty.*

Mark 13:5-11, Signs of the End of Age 
Jesus said to them: “Watch out that no one deceives you. Many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and will deceive many. When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines.

These are the beginning of birth pains. You must be on your guard.

You will be handed over to the local councils and flogged in the synagogues.

On account of me you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them.

And the gospel must first be preached to all nations.

Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.”

Be On Guard // Reformation Hymn

This is a "live" recording of Truro Cathedral's Sung Eucharist at 5.30 pm on Ash Wednesday 13th February 2013. The President is Canon Philip Lambert and the sermon is by Canon Perran Gay. 

The Father Willis organ is played by Luke Bond and Truro Cathedral Choir is directed by Christopher Gray. 

Allegri's setting of Psalm 51, Miserere mei, Deus, is sung as the congregation walks up to receive the Imposition of Ashes. Here, as in the Agnus Dei sung during the Communion, our microphones pick up the sound of the people as they walk through the middle of the choir stalls to the altar rail.

Soloists in the quartet are Ben Reed (treble 1), James Rogers (treble 2), Ed Stebbing-Allen (alto) and Ian Brown (bass). 

20 Hymn Be thou my guardian and my guide

Hymn Arrangement I created for my Sister's Funeral.  She loved this hymn.  This one's played in straight time so I could later add the voice (see other version).  Adding the voice covers many of the keyboard performance flaws.
