Beside Still Waters is minimal and subtle to emphasise a mood of quietness and stillness. Sparing use of synthesiser pads, guitar swells and ambient bells sounds over an ambience of running water recorded at John Forrest National Park create the serene mood that I wanted to capture. The title and theme recall the first few verses of Psalm 23 written by King David:

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want;
he makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters;
he restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake."

Beside Still Waters

This track "Waiting" features sparse piano chords, arpeggiated guitar, synthesiser pads and a peaceful melody, all against the ambience of a gently burning fireplace. I invite you to listen to the music as you pray and reflect, and be renewed in strength by His grace. 

The Virtue of Waiting
“…what then shall those things be which are prepared for such as wait for Him? The Creator and Father of all worlds, the Most Holy, alone knows their amount and their beauty. Let us therefore earnestly strive to be found in the number of those that wait for Him.” St Clement of Rome

Wait To Be Renewed

Believe And You Will See, as the name suggests, is an encouragement to step into the realm of faith and thereby be enlightened and awakened to what God is wanting to reveal to us.

Recorded in my home studio, this instrumental piece features ethereal pads, serene guitar swells and a gentle arpeggio for a tranquil relaxing mood. I invite you to listen to the music as you pray and reflect, and be lifted up in faith.


Is your faith low, or even non-existent? Do you have questions or doubts? Faith is a gift God has given us, and through our response in prayer we draw nearer to the Great Initiator, who wants us to know his love for us in an ever more profound and deep way. It is in prayer that God reveals himself as a personal and loving Father. It is in prayer that we grow in understanding, love and patience. By making that step of faith in prayer the truth becomes more real and we see more clearly.

The following passage is from The Glenstal Book of Prayer:

“Prayer is the movement of the Holy Spirit in the human heart through which God reaches out and embraces human beings. It is a duet of love in which the action of the Spirit inspires and sustains us in the darkness of faith.

It is an inward call from Christ who dwells within the depths of the human soul, and who longs to be known and loved there. It is the exciting adventure of the search for God’s presence and the endless joy of rejoicing in it when it is found.

It is the growing perception of the infinitely gracious, infinitely merciful Source, the Father who reveals the beauty of his face to the inner eye of the heart and the sweetness of his voice to the inner ear attuned to listen”.

Believe And You Will See

Layers of ambient guitar and synthesiser provide a rich tapestry of sound that is beautiful and dreamy that is perfect for prayer and reflection.

In Him We Live

Peace, Be Still is inspired by those words spoken by Christ with such powerful authority to the mighty forces of nature which were under his command. It speaks to us not only of his supernatural ability to bring calm and stillness to the raging seas, but also our own storms and adversities.

Peace, Be Still

What matters in life is not great deeds, but great love.” St Thérèse of Lisieux

The State Of Being calls to mind that we are firstly called to be and then do, not the other way around, remembering the immeasurable love that God has for us, and of our place in God as His image bearers and sharers in the divine life.

The State Of Being

Deep calls to deep
at the thunder of your cataracts;
all your waves and your billows
have gone over me.
By day the Lord commands his steadfast love,
and at night his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life.
Psalm 42:7-8

The beautiful poetic imagery of the psalm calls to mind the continual and universal longing of our souls for something greater and deeper beyond this world, which is ultimately a longing for God our Creator.

Our enchantment with, and creation of, entertainment, arts and other means demonstrate our attempts at fulfilling of this longing, but they are temporal, and the desire remains. Longing is a sense that we are on an incomplete journey and we are yearning for the completion – our eternal home, so we should not see longing as a negative thing, but an innate desire, placed in us by God and part of our very being, that will lead us closer to Him if we pursue this longing with an equal desire for truth. Longing may just be the strongest creative force known, and its aim should lead us heavenward.

Deep Calls To Deep

Moments of calm to provide a place of stillness before God.
