I haven't performed live in many, many years. Thanks for asking though.

If you want to hear a simulated "live" performance, check out my song "Footprints" - www.macjams.com/song/17341.


God bless,

Rick

This says it all. I wish everyone could experiance the sweet joy of praising our Creator. You did a real nice job with the loop editing here, and the words are, as usal, heartfelt.

Thanks so much. We'll have to do a retake on this when the scratchies go away. Then I can post a version with your beautiful voice added. That's what's been missing all along. :-))

God bless you,

Rick

with those who will know him and walk with him in these days... I hope to know him better... Rick you remind me of the man who took me in all those years ago... I was a broken x-druggy... he provided a time for me to re-enter this life... a second chance... he used to sit with his guitar and sing songs much like this... Russ Underwood... he passed a few years back... but as I sat and listened I closed my eyes and he was right here...you have a great voice... gentle and soothing..

I'll introduce you some day... what a day!

Thank you Scott. I too pray every day to know God better. And I look forward to meeting you and Russ in the new world. What a day that'll be, indeed! :-))

Russ did a wonderful thing for you, and I consider it high praise to be compared to him. I pass it on to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, because without Him all of us would be doomed.

God bless,

Rick

Ops i am really late here. Have a hard time keeping up.

You know I've been listening to the song many many times before you posted. And again I am so sorry I couldn't gather the concentration to lay a guitar track for you.

But at the same time I don't think there's much missing here. The strength here is the composition, your devotion and your personal compassionate voice. That is so enough for my soul. Though I know the world wants music with glimmering surface. But personally, that doesn't matter much to me. The power comes from the life from within. And this song has that!.

And .. count me in for the meeting in the new world. That will be a day, when I will meet you people!

PS. A 2.33 MHZ MacBook Pro .. that must be a wonder to work with..

Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Thank you very much for all the time you spent trying to lay a track to this piece in the midst of your personal problems. You have a true heart of the servant.

The MacBook Pro is just another tool; nothing more special than that. I bought it because my other computer was dying from old age, and I needed something more portable. :-)

God bless,
Rick

Thought I left a comment before; oops. This song has a great chorus and had me harmonizing at home (well, trying anyways). As usual, I just love your syle. Seems to me this would be good at worship ( a real pleasure to sing) and useful for Sunday school. I can imagine a tenor/alto harmony just knockin the heck out of this one.

Great to hear from you brother. Thank you for the kind words and your appreciation. This song, and others God has given me, might someday be sung in worship services, but that is up to Him. :-)


God bless,

Rick

Rick. ... This is a beautifully performed and simply unadorned composition that is so true to the folk tradition. By keeping your accompaniment contained and your vocals so natural (including the chorus harmony that is so very sweet), you have created a message song that speaks with sincerity, with honesty, and with your own firm beliefs. The result is a song that communicates and does so compellingly. I can't imagine anyone not being moved by your words, your performance, your heart.

I tell you the truth --the words, the music, the performance, all come from my Lord Jesus Christ, my savior and the creator of heaven and earth. I thank Him for using me to communicate His love to you and others at MacJams. Open your heart and life to Him and you will know what I mean.

God bless,

Rick

Thank you Feter for listening and commenting. Through this song, and others He has given to me, Jesus extends to you His love and a peace that passes all understanding.


God bless,

Rick

such a pure and true song. Excellent work on this and solid work on lyrics, vocals, production.

Thank you for the encouragement Brandon. I'm glad you stopped by for a listen.

God bless,

Rick, this track is powerful in its simplicity. Not overly flashy, but it doesn't need to be. Reminds me a bit of early Phil Keaggy or Honeytree.

And yes, amen, praise the Lord for giving us His Son.

[ Reply to This ]

Thank you John. I enjoyed Phil and Honeytree in their day also. Perhaps some of their style wore off on me?

Praise the Lord always!

BTW, I greatly enjoyed your latest jazz collab, mixing trumpet with piano.


God bless,

Rick
