Written for my academy semester finals. Inspiration comes from weekly exercise with YWAM school "ONE", where we kept creating on one concept for ~3 months. This one was a conversation with the Holy Spirit about my time management inner battles.

Holy Spirit. | Time
Yours is the day, Yours is the night. Yours are the times, Yours is the flow. But i can't swim in it with such a lack of wisdom and understanding. I fear to give it away to You completely, and keep myself in never ending prisons of mind, stress, and longings. I how i want to be saved from them. Oh how i long to be held by the Clockmaker.

Lyrics
Days, nights, Yours
Times, flow, Yours
But i can't swim,
I belong with the drowning...

Paddle. Faster. Faster. Faster.
My time...Give it away to You? No no nonono.

Never ending prisons
Stress, desires, striving.

Save me, save me, save me.
My dearest Clockmaker, hold me, hold me, hold me...
Count me, count me, count me...

A Prayer To The Timeholder / 1st semester final 1

There is one Lithuanian folk song that i really love. I've had drafts of arrangements, and i decided to expand it for my final project.

The folk song is about how a wind was blowing a young oak tree,- the "author voice" is asking the wind to not blow the tree, as it cannot blow back. Then the story is put in parallel with how a father was scolding his son - and again, the "author" is asking to not scold him, as he cannot say anything back. 

This song is extremely touching and sad because it's addressing the harsh love of the father, which was never meant to be harsh, when God created people for love and care for one another. The world as it is now, was never meant to be this way, and we are to grieve it. The fact that we can choose freely to love, also allows that we may choose the opposite of love as well, and suffer the consequence. The good news is, we can have a relationship our Heavenly Father, through Jesus, whose love to us is incomparable.

-----------------

Kūrinys pagal 139 Psalmę. 

Joje kalba, kad Dievas, sukūręs kiekvieną iš mūsų, mus giliai pažįsta. Žino kiekvieno mūsų mintis, kelius, mūsų širdį. Audė mus motinos įsčiose, matė mus dar negimusius, ir yra šalia, net einant per šešėlio slėnį. Jis veda mus per tamsiausią naktį, nes net ir ten Jam viskas atidengta - Jam bet kokios sutemos šviesios. "Jei pasakyčiau 'tamsa apdengė mane', naktis aplink mane, šviesa pavirstų". 
Jis - Visur Esantis.

A composition for choir performed in Vox Juventutis'23 concert by "Jauna Muzika" choir. The piece is based on Psalm 139.

It says that God, who created each of us, knows us deeply. He knows each of our thoughts, our ways, our heart. Woven us in our mother's womb, saw us unborn, and is there even when we walk through the valley of shadow. He leads us through the darkest night, because even there everything is clear to Him - all darkness is as light to Him. "If I say 'darkness has covered me', the night around me will turn into light." 
He is the Omnipresent ("Visur Esantis").

Lord And Father Of Mankind - hymn remake

Two guitars and a mandolin. Done by three friends for a short project. Danielle, Ella and Karolina.

The Aph Project - Ateikit. Cover of Angele Joknyte

A song written by James Metelak - a mindblowing singer/songwriter, poet, teacher, photographer, and million other talents.. This is one of my all time favorite songs of his, capturing a very special side of relationship with God, helping the heart to speak out the words that can't find their way on their own... It's like a love song, and a longing song, flowing like a stream of river from the top of the mountain, not downwards, but into the air....the stream, finding its way back to the Perfect Keeper. Listen to the lyrics:) 

p.s. this song is a part of his Lithuanian worship album, sung by different artists. Check out other deep songs on https://jmpoet.bandcamp.com/album/dieve-tylos

James Metelak with Karolina Kieraitė - Dieve Tylos

From the series of raw home recordings. A very special song, always reminding that it's God's kindness that breaks our resistance... His soft, persistent voice. He doesn't break us into accepting Him. He loves us into His heart. That's His invitation. Even if the circumstances make it seem that our world is crumbling down, in the midst of all you will find Him, wanting to hold you, and embrace you, because this life's struggles will pass, but His love will remain... A moment in His presence is a moment of home.

Kindness.home edits (Isla Vista Worship cover)

This improvisation was birthed by a desire to have a more jazzy, soft version of this famous worship song. The lyrics are deep and juicy, and just so tasty to meditate on... Our hope is that the pace of our performance will help you to delight in the Lord as you listen to this. Thank you for stopping by!

Where the jacaranda trees grow wild
There you'll see my love for you, my child
There we'll gaze upon each other, oh
In the beauty of the deepest splendor

Oh, find me when i cannot break through walls
In my silent screaming heart i'm torn
Find me
Find me...

__________________________
Nors laisvė, tai viskas, ko siekiu, bet gėda man tikėtis jos...
Žinau, kad pasakiški lobiai slypi Tavyje...
Žinau, kad Tu - geriausias mano draugas, bet neturiu jėgų
Neturiu jėgų išmesti blizgučius... Jų pilnas mano kambarys...

Apsiaustas, kuris dengia mano sielą
Išaustas iš mirties ir dulkių
Aš jo nekenčiu, bet nuolatos dėviu su meile...

Kaltybės mano didelės.. Ir mano neskėmės neišmatuojamos...
Mano gėda sunki ir paslėpta...
Tačiau kai ateinu Tavęs prašyti gelbėt... Drebu iš baimės, kad kartais Tu neišklausytum mano prašymo...

_______________________________
OBSTINATE ARE THE trammels, but my heart aches when I try to break them.

Freedom is all I want, but to hope for it I feel ashamed.

I am certain that priceless wealth is in thee, and that thou art my best friend, but I have not the heart to sweep away the tinsel that fills my room.

The shroud that covers me is a shroud of dust and death; I hate it, yet hug it in love.

My debts are large, my failures great, my shame secret and heavy; yet when I come to ask for my good, I quake in fear lest my prayer be granted.

Tagorės giesmė 28 (demo)/Tagore. Gintajali 28

A cover of a wonderful Lithuanian original worship song by Džiuljeta Mankauskaitė. I usually don't cover other songs, but wanted to improvise with the harmonies, as the words and melody are so beautiful. 

Jesus, You have washed my guilt, my sins...
And you have gifted me with Your love, from Your grace

You have lavished Your love, healed my wounds, 
You have filled me with Your Spirit
I will sing to You, my King, from my heart,
I will love You, my Lord
