Music Inspirations during the Fast

Meditations for the Fast cover

I am enjoying this period of prayer and fasting as it has been nourishing to be able to reflect, create and spiritually rejuvenate. I would like to share a most recent rough recording that I made with my daughter (my son played the guitar) a couple of nights ago of the prayer ‘Blessed is the Spot’.

We so enjoy singing together and performing together when we have the opportunity.

Below are a few more compositions I made during the Fast:

Be Thou a Summoner of Love – Reflection

Bend Me into Conformity – Reflection

Create in Me a Pure Heart – Reflection

    “Blessed is the spot” has me close to tears this morning, maybe partly from the family harmony coming through. A lovely version!

    Thank you for your generosity in every way Bret. I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed our rendition of ‘Blessed is the Spot’. I am always beyond elated when I have the opportunity to record with my children.

I hope you don’t mind but, I have a Tuesday evening devotional meeting and I used several of song, Blessed is the Spot, Be Thou a Summoner to Love, Fasting Prayer, No Refuge Save Thee, Make Thy Beauty to be my Food, & Hold Thou My dand. They were so beautiful I wanted to share them. They will make a great CD
