My alma mater Maryhill College (elementary and high school) is celebrating its 73rd Foundation this February! I unearthed this crude synth/orchestration of mine (done only with Finale notation software) of our Alma Mater Song from some five years ago (I think) and put some "additional touches" with Logic. Pardon my mixing...am still exploring the program and I can't seem to get the right mastering...

I'm trying to remember who composed this, I believe it wan in our student handbook, anyone whgo remembers kindly inform me =)

Maryhill Alma Mater Song - synth/orchestration - Nilo Alcala

I had the privilege of singing this song by Travis Cottrell in church for Thanksgiving.
With me are members of the Morning Star Christian Church Worship Team.
It has such a moving melody and touching words.
I tried to keep myself from tearing up hence intonation got derailed at times.
I eventually gave in and wasn't able to sing the very last line...
Only to God be the glory.

THANKS BE TO OUR GOD (Travis Cotrell)
For the road that leads from darkness into Light
For the hope that rescues us from endless night
For the grace that covers sin
At the door where life begins
At the door where life begins
For salvation reaching in to guide us through
Thanks be to our God


For the healing that no mortal can explain
For deliverance that breaks the sinner's chains
For the strength to carry on
And forgiveness great and strong
And the promise of Your mercies ever new
Thanks be to our God


Hallelujah
Everlasting songs will rise for all You've done
Hallelujah hallelujah
Thanks be to our God


For the emptiness that cries out to be filled
For the promise that Your Word is deeper still
For the longing and the need
To have more of You in me
Because nothing satisfies the way You do
Thanks be to our God


For the mysteries beyond the veil of death
For the peace that opens with our closing breath
When our struggles pass away
And we finally see Your face
And a greater glory rises into view
Thanks be to our God



Thanks Be To Our God (T. Cottrell)

PEACE I GIVE YOU

Why so downcast oh my child  
Why within you are disturbed?   
Have I ever forsaken you?      
Have I ever turned my back on you?
Why do you try to bear more than what you could,    
Take on beyond what I say you should?   
It only takes a glance to know… 
my yoke is easy,  and my burden is light…   

Why so anxious my precious one?
Why do you go about in fear?
Have you forgotten I’m the One,
The One who has made you overcome?
Just count the ways that I have been there in the past
And you will know my love for   will always last
It only takes a steadfast heart
To know I’ve got you at the palm of my hand

Chorus 1
Peace, I give you my child,  
Peace that I alone can give   
You don’t have to fear anything   
Be still, and know I am here   
As a shepherd I will be to you
In green Pastures you shall lie
My rod and staff will comfort you
Just be still and know that I am true


Yes, my child I give you rest  
I only have for you the best  
I will keep in perfect peace you who trust in me      
You will soar up high with eagle’s wings
Blessed are you who trust and do delight in me
You’ll be as a tree that’s planted by a flowin’ stream
Drink from me when you’re weary
No more thirst for thee, just come only to me
