SONG OF PRAISE

http://christianartsongs.blogspot.com/2009/04/songofpraise.html

Words by Jean Wood

Music by TQ Solis, Jr.

Arranged and performed by Fr. J. Roel Lungay

1
God of the lightning, storm and sea
How can you care for little me?
Ruler of the sun and wind and star
How can you hear me from so far?
God of the atom, mote and cell
I know you know me very well.

2
You made the spark that is my mind
Special, unique of humankind
I hear the intimate small voice
Waking my senses to rejoice.
Mold this brief seed to struggle free
Set me on fire to sing for Thee!

(Repeat 2)

Coda:
Set me on fire to sing for Thee!

TAKE TIME TO PRAY

http://christianartsongs.blogspot.com/2009/04/taketimetopray.html

Words by Marian Ford Park

Music by J. Roel Lungay

Arranged and performed by Fr. J. Roel Lungay

1
There are those times I stumble
Times I fear I've lost my way.
It is then I seek the Master;
It is then I stop to pray.

2
I know our Father guides us;
If we listen He'll convey
His comfort and compassion
If we take the time to pray.

3
Look around you, see the beauty
And the love that fills each day.
Then if trouble comes look upward,
Find a little time to pray.

Coda:
Then if trouble comes look upward,
Find a little time to pray.

The dazzling sunshine bright...

These are but few of endless Wonders of the Hand
Of God, our Lord and creator.

The twinkling stars at night...

THE LIGHT BEYOND

http://christianartsongs.blogspot.com/2009/04/thelightbeyond.html

Words by Vi B. Chevalier

Music and piano arrangement by TQ Solis, Jr.

Performed by Fr. J. Roel Lungay

1
When somber (oops!) clouds of steely grey
Cast shadows o'er your heart and way,
Look up beyond the darkened sky
Where tints of blue will soon drift by.

2
Look up and know that in God's plan
No sparrow falls nor, too, a man
Without His watch,
Without His love.
Have faith, believe, trust Him above.

Refrain:
For from the dark is born the light,
A ray of hope, a beacon bright
To warm your heart and help you through.
Rejoice and know God's there with you.

(Repeat 2)

THE LORD IS MY TRUE SHEPHERD

Based on Psalm 23 (76 76 D)

Words by Omer Westendorf

Music by J. Roel Lungay

Arranged and performed by Fr. J. Roel Lungay

1
The Lord is my true shepherd,
My needs and wants He knows;
He feeds me in green pastures
And there gives me repose.

2
He leads me to cool waters
Where He refreshes me;
Along safe paths He guides me,
True to His name is He.

(Interlude)

3
Though I should walk in darkness
No evil would I fear;
Your rod and staff give comfort
For you are ever near.

4
You spread a sumptuous banquet
In sight of all my foes;
With oil You do annoint me,
My cup now overflows.

(Interlude)

5
His goodness and His kindness
Shall ever follow me;
His house shall be my dwelling
For all eternity.

6
Give praise to God the Father,
To Christ His only Son
And to the Holy Spirit -
True God in essence One.

THE PERFECT GIFT

http://christianartsongs.blogspot.com/2009/04/theperfectgift.html

Music inspired by the song I learned in high school, SETTING PEOPLE FREE

Words by Laina Owen

Music by J. Roel Lungay

Arranged and performed by Fr. J. Roel Lungay

Refrain:
We live and learn in this old world
And as we older grow
Still more and more we realize
It's so little that we know.

(Repeat)

1
There's one thing that we wish we knew
It's where and when to speak
And how to say the things we feel,
To help the poor and weak.

(Repeat Refrain)

2
So many times we want to talk
But don't know what to say,
To give someone the strength he needs
to help him on his way.

(Repeat Refrain)

3
If God would grant one perfect gift
To one so small and weak,
The thing I'd ask is just to know
When and where and how to speak.

(Repeat Refrain)

Coda:
It's so little that we know!

Dear Lord, kind Lord, gracious Lord, I pray.
Thou wilt look on all I love tenderly today!
Weed their hearts of weariness, scatter every care
Down a wake of angel wings winnowing the air.

Bring unto the sorrowing all release from pain;
Let the lips of laughter overflow again
And with all the needy, O divide, I pray,
This vast treasure of content that is mine today.

Words by Michael Dubina

Music by J. Roel Lungay

Arranged and performed by Fr. J. Roel Lungay

1
This is the day the Lord has made
To bless the earth with sun and shade
And grace the life of you and me
With joys of holy ecstacy.

So let us join in His embrace
And prove deserving of His grace;
By sharing Christian gifts of heart
That are the blessings He imparts.

3
Let this be day of joy and love
That honors Him and God above;
And bears no trace of human greed
That steals from me so you succeed.

4
Let's live it as it's meant to be
With heaven's gifts to you and me
And live and love in Christian ways
That praise the Lord and praise this day.

TO OUR LADY

This song-prayer was composed per request of Mrs. Stassi (may she rest in peace) who used to work at our Religious Bookstore when I was stationed at St. Ann Catholic Church & National Shrine in Metairie, LA from 1994-1998

http://christianartsongs.blogspot.com/2009/04/toourlady.html

Text: Anonymous

Music by J. Roel Lungay

Arranged and performed by Fr. J. Roel Lungay

1
Lovely Lady, dressed in blue,
Teach me how to pray!
God was just your little boy,
Tell me what to say!
Did you lift Him up sometimes
Gently on your knee?
Did you sing to Him the way
Mother does to me?
Did you hold His hand at night?
Did you ever try...

2
Telling stories of the world?
O! And did He cry?
Do you really think He cares
If I tell Him things,
Little things that happen?
And do the Angel's wings make a noise?
And can He hear me if I speak low?
Does He understand me now?
Tell me, for you know...

3
Lovely Lady, dressed in blue,
Teach us how to pray!
God was just your little boy
And you now the way!

Words by Loise Pinkerton Fritz

Music by J. Roel Lungay

Arranged and performed by Fr. J. Roel Lungay

1
We need the sun that shines by day,
The moon that shines by night.
And, too, we need each breath of air,
But mostly we need Christ!

2
We need the water that we drink,
The food to keep us live;
We need the clothes upon our backs
But mostly, we need Christ.

3
We need some friends to share life's path,
We need our family ties;
Although we need each one of these
Above all we need Christ!

Coda:
Above all we need Christ!
Above all we need Christ!

WHEN BIRDS BEGIN TO SING

http://christianartsongs.blogspot.com/2009/04/whenbirdsbegintosing.html

Words by Sancie-Earman King

Music by J. Roel Lungay

Arranged and performed by Fr. J. Roel Lungay

1
Each day should bring us promise
That we can start anew
When sun is on horizon
And grass is wet with dew.

2
For life with all its mishaps
Is like a lengthy day
With many smiles and teardrops
To help us pave the way.

3
If only we could realize
Why God wants us to start
Each day with prayer and praising
That we might touch His heart.

4
So let's begin our prayer time
As birds begin to sing
That we might find our haven
Beneath the Father's wing!

Coda:
Beneath the Father's wing!
Beneath the Father's wing!

Words by Richard E. Reybolt

Music by J. Roel Lungay

Arranged and performed by Fr. J. Roel Lungay

1
This day so full of promise
Has slowly slipped away
Like dying coals upon the fire
Where logs of oak once lay.

(Repeat)

Refrain:
Some victories, some losses
With work yet to be done,
People who will need me,
Struggles to be won.

2
So I kneel before my bed
To thank God for this day.
I ask for nothing but His grace
That love might light my way.

3
Gone forever is this day
Content I've done my best
I hand it over now to God
And seek His peaceful rest.

YOU'RE NOT ALONE

Words by Clay Harrison

Music by TQ Solis, Jr.

Arranged and performed by Fr. J. Roel Lungay

1
You're not alone when troubles come
And your heart is beating like a drum.
You're not alone through sorrow's night
When nothing seems to go just right.

Refrain 1:
The Savior waits to hear from you
And give you strength for all you do.
He knows the secrets of your heart
And He can make your fears depart.

2
You're not alone without a guide
He sees each tear you've ever cried.
God comforts those who seek His way
And knows our hearts before we pray.

Refrain 2:
His perfect peace and endless love
Fall like feathers from above.
There is no cross to large to bear
You're not alone for Christ is there!
