Delightful. What a wonderful performance by all the children involved.

This 1872 poem by Christina Rossetti (titled 'A Christmas Carol')was set to music in 1906 by Gustav Holst to become the well known Christmas carol we know today. Here is my version.

Mighty To Save

This song is about all of us prodigals out there.. Luke 15:11-32
Verse 1
Prodigal, how could we know running out on our own
Famine would come leaving undone, losing it all we’d fall?
Fighting the wind wondering if hunger fades with the night
Just can't say, may be too late for setting things right
Tag
Could it be destiny pulling this way
Used to be hard to see the path that leads to grace
I’m going home!
Chorus
My Fathers love cries out. Hear His voice, know the sound
My Fathers love shines down! Mercy pleads for our release
I'm running, running, running home, running running running home!
Verse2
Has He given you a heart to believe? 
Drawn you from the darkness of the deep?
Opened up your eyes awaken to the sight of how it's meant to be?
Tag
Used to be hard to see the path that leads to grace
Could it be destiny pulling this way?
Repeat chorus
Bridge
Destitute determined to do it all alone, 
Now I'm going home!
Maybe my Father will let me work as a servant?
Before the words ever left my mouth….
He said give him a robe, put a ring on his finger, sandals on his feet
Take the fatted calf and slaughter it. Let's celebrate!
The son that I thought was dead has come to life!!!
*the pix is a shot of the road that leads me home. With a beautiful sunrise.

Prodigal

A great Christmas carol written by Michael Perry (1942-1996). Written to the tune of the Calypso Carol, it's a song I enjoy singing at this time of year.

Following In The Footsteps (Graham Williams)

Thanks to Will Sanders for asking me to do this collaboration with him. You kinda get to know people on here because they comment on your music or visa versa and Sanders has been around SoundCloud for a bit and I was hononerd when he asked me to sing on Through the Fire. I lost my beautiful Mother 2 months ago and with that comes hard nights, no sleep with long prayers. Will wrote this song and at the end let me have some ad-libbing freedom and its very reminicent of those nights of prayer straight from the heart. I almost didnt do it just because Im still in my grief, but I decided it'd be good to get back to it, and Im very thankful that I did.  It's been very threapeutic and since then I've been sleeping like a baby, so praise the Lord for that.. Anyway he did a great job and I wanted to share it with you all. Remember Christ is walking with you throught the fire. Blessings, Molly

THROUGH THE FIRE 2 By Sanders (FT Molly Barnett)

Graham Williams - Vocals, guitars & bass.
Katie Gill - Piano.
Israel Pereira - Cajón.

I found a demo of this song from 2018 - just a run through for The Peace Band really - recorded on my Tascam DR-05. It was just me on acoustic guitar and vocals with help from Peace Band members Katie Gill on piano and Izzy Pereira on Cajón. I loaded up the recording into Cubase and recorded a new double tracked lead vocal over the top. I then added some backing vocals, electric guitar, bass and strings. There's an ocarina track in there as well. Katie's piano has got a bit lost in the mix unfortunately. I was originally going to record this song from scratch until I came across the demo.

If you're looking for a heaven on Earth, you can make it so,
Like planting seeds in a garden with love, flowers bloom and grow,
To make this world into a better place, all you need is just a little faith,
If you're looking for a heaven on Earth, you can make it so,

Heaven on Earth, heaven on Earth, we’re looking for a heaven on Earth.
Heaven on Earth, heaven on Earth, we’re looking for a heaven on Earth.

When you’re looking for a heaven on Earth, things of things you know
Rain falls upon the mountains above, makes the rivers flow,
To give this world the magic stroke, all you need is just a little hope,
When you’re looking for a heaven on Earth, things of things you know

Peace and love, peace and love, peace and love come from heaven above,
Peace and love, peace and love, peace and love come from heaven above,

If you're looking for a heaven on Earth, you can make it so,
Like planting seeds in a garden with love, flowers bloom and grow,
To make this world a better place, all you need is just a little faith,
If you're looking for a heaven on Earth, you can make it so,
If you're looking for a heaven on Earth, you can make it so

Heaven On Earth

Heaven On Earth (Graham Williams)

Let's try and do more to look after the planet we live on.

High and mighty, Lord on high, You are the master who lives in the sky,
Lord of the forests and mountain ranges, all of the wonders that daily amaze us,

From the mountains to the valleys below, the warming light from the sun as it glows,
The desert sands and a new fall of snow, a world of wonder wherever ... wherever we go,

You are the one Lord, creator of all, we've only got one world you gave to us all,
You are the one Lord, creator of all, we've only got one world to save for us all,

High and mighty, Lord on high, You are the master who lives in the sky,
Lord of the forests and mountain ranges, all of the wonders that daily amaze us,

From the glaciers to the fields of grain, a windy day or a sprinkling of rain,
Lakes with water and streams that flow, a world of wonder wherever ... wherever we go,

You are the one Lord, creator of all, we've only got one world you gave to us all,
You are the one Lord, creator of all, we've only got one world to save for us all,

High and mighty, Lord on high, You are the master who lives in the sky,
Lord of the forests and mountain ranges, all of the wonders that daily amaze us,
Daily amaze us ..... they daily amaze us

World Of Wonder

When asked to write a children's song for an all-age church service, I recalled the song, 'All Things Bright And Beautiful', which I remember singing many times as a child. This was my attempt to write something similar which hopefully will appeal to listeners of all ages.
