The lyrics of Reflections convey the message that true change comes from within. It shows that the world we see is a reflection of our own thoughts, feelings and actions. Love, peace and fulfillment do not begin outside, but within ourselves - what we put into the world returns to us. The song invites you to reflect on yourself and take responsibility for your own life.

Reflections

Grace Unbound, composed by Gerda Blok-Wilson, is a choral work for SATB choir and organ/piano, beautifully recorded by the Rocky Mountain Chamber Choir - 2025. 

This piece explores themes of hope, renewal, and boundless love through flowing melodies and rich harmonies. With an open and expressive character, it is well-suited for concert programs, reflective performances, and special occasions.

Its lyrical lines and warm harmonic textures create a sense of serenity and connection, inviting both performers and listeners into an uplifting musical experience.

In church services and worship gatherings, Grace Unbound would be ideal for moments of reflection, renewal, and praise, particularly during Lent, Holy Week, Easter, and Communion services. 

Its message of grace, redemption, and boundless love makes it a fitting anthem for baptisms, confirmations, and memorial services, as well as general worship. With its flowing melodies and rich harmonies, the piece creates a space for contemplation and spiritual connection, inviting both choirs and congregations to reflect on the depth of divine love and the promise of hope.

I am a 46-year-old single father living in Switzerland. Because I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease last year and had several hospital stays, I started writing down my experiences. What started as a diary quickly developed into poems. During this time, I looked at newly written poems and noticed that they had a melody. That's how I got into songwriting. Now I want to find out what the now 130 songs appeal to people. They are not just profound texts but also about everyday life. I would be very happy for your feedback.
