Jim Canter - Fill Thou My Life

Moses

I wanted to write something with a sort-of neo 1930's blues feel. It's a simple song with a simple but timely message, and a little nod to Worried Man Blues (public domain).  See the lyric video on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdBhoitLzbI

Spiritual.  Performed by Jim Canter. Adapted from "I Want Jesus to Walk With Me", recorded by Eric Bibb.

I Want Jesus to Walk With Me

Tableau No. 2 Follows Perelandra01:  Lewis is going to meet Ransom at his cottage.  On his walk there, unwanted thoughts enter his mind about Ransom's mysterious call to meet him.  When he arrives, he finds that Ransom has not arrived, and by the time he enters, he is fully panicked.  Then Ransom arrives and all is well.

Perelandra02-To Ransom's Cottage

Perelandra: Book by CS Lewis.  Ransom lands on venus in the "ice coffin".  As it melts away after landing, he feels like he's floating, and finally realizes the entire land mass is floating.
