"I will sing praises to my God, all my life long." Psalm 146:2
Today we celebrate the annunciation of the Lord. It is truly through Mary‘s “yes“ that allowed Christ to enter this world, and save us. Today the song I am posting is “Only in God“ by John Michael Talbot. It is based on Psalm 62, and I imagine it was one that Mary knew well. May we trust in God’s will today, just as Mary did, that through our yeses, may we bring peace, joy, and hope in this difficult time.

Good morning all. Today I am sharing “On Eagle’s Wing” by Michael Joncas. Every time I hear this song I think of funerals. This song has been used at the majority of funeral services I have played at over the past 20 years of music ministry. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little tired of this song. But, to be completely honest, every time I play it, whether it’s at a funeral or mass or this video, it still touches my heart. I think this is a testament to the power of this song, but also to the beauty of psalm 91. May we all find comfort today in God’s divine providence and endless love for us.
And he will raise you up on eagle's wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of his hand.
As our governor prepares to make a stay at home announcement later today, I think of all the nurses and doctors who won’t have the option to stay home. We are all blessed by their sacrifice and “yes” to serve those in need. “Will you leave yourself behind, if I but call your name.” Thanks to my brother Nathaniel, and all other health care providers.
I will continue to post videos daily on my youtube channel, so please subscribe if you would like to stay connected.
As we journey through this time of unrest, isolation, and fear. I hope this lullaby brings you a moment of peace. I miss making music with my community and friends, and I am thankful for the opportunity to at least share my music with all of you here. Thankful for the gift of music and it’s healing power during this difficult time. Blessings and prayers to you all.
The Piano sheet music is available in the store section on our website.
I pray all of you are enjoying these cooler, shorter days. Summer has ended and my family and I are fully back into the swing of school and busy schedules. I was recently having a conversation with a friend about the videos I have posted on youtube and how much he enjoyed them. It reminded me how much I enjoy making them and sharing my creativity with those around me. I love every aspect of creating music, but so many times, I find myself doubting my abilities, thinking "Is any of this any good, will anyone listen to this?" I know that is not the case, but the doubt still creeps in. The evil one wants nothing more than for us to doubt the goodness God has given us. I need reminders like my friend sharing his love for my music/videos. We all need reminders that we have amazing things to share with those around us, for the Glory of God.
I have pulled out my (dusty) recording equipment and DSLR camera and started making videos again. I am trying to trust, let go, and let God do the good work in them. It is not up to me to touch people's hearts, but I know that God can work through my talents and change lives. May we all have the wisdom to see our gifts, offer them to God, and recklessly share them with our families, communities, and the world.
I have posted a few videos here. Happy listening to all of you, and may God bless you with a trust in his goodness.
In Christ, Nichlas
