It also includes an optional cello accent instrument that can be played or not and has piano accompaniment. You can sing all the parts for each verse, or like the mp3, I added parts each verse.  Lyrics Below. questions or requests email cdboss@cvalley.net

I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say (Lent)

I heard the voice of Jesus say,

For you I gave my life

It was a choice, I had to make.

My final sacrifice.

I came to all of you as a man

To teach you how to live

I came to wash away your sins

The price I had to give

 

I heard the voice of Jesus say

Behold I freely give

The living water thirsty one

Stoop down and drink and live

I came to all of you and I healed

Those of you who were in need

I cured you ills and saved your souls

It was my heavenly deed

 

I heard the voice of Jesus say,

I am this dark world’s light

Look unto me, thy morn shall rise

And all my days be bright

I came to all of you on that day

When darkness hid the sun

And in the darkest hour that day

My earthly days were done.

Composed by Kevin G. Pace (ASCAP), Mary Ann W. Snowball. Christian,Contemporary,Religious,Sacred,Spiritual. Score. 7 pages. Kevin G. Pace #917571. Published by Kevin G. Pace (A0.1329588).

A beautiful, sacred vocal solo with music by Kevin G. Pace and text by Mary Ann W. Snowball.

Text:
When I can’t be sure what the world speaks,
I will choose to follow what my conscience seeks.
When temptations come and endurance dims,
I will trust my Savior and the strength He gives.

When the day seems long and I feel alone,
I will turn to Jesus, trusting I am known.
I will kneel to pray in His holy Name;
I will seek for blessings I was born to claim.

Chorus:
Today I will trust in heavenly care,
rememb’ring my calling as God’s faithful heir.
I will remember to trust in His care,
For He is always . . . always He’s there.

When my life seems dark, I can’t see Christ’s face,
yet I’ll keep my vision on His promised grace.
I will choose to trust in God’s holy light
and remember always, I am in His sight.

Chorus:

John Cage and I share the same birthday: September 5th. He was born in 1912 and my birth year is 1945. There must be some cosmological link between us because he has always intrigued me - philosophically and musically. 

Recently I was in my colleague Prof. Jeremiah McGrann's office waiting for him to join me for a martini lunch after a day of teaching. I noticed on his desk a hardcover copy of John Cage I-VI. I asked what it was and he said it is John Cage's Charles Elliot Norton Lecture he gave at Harvard University in 1988-89. I looked inside and there were these mesostics. Very sparsely distributed on each page, and it looked fascinating, like some hieroglyphic art. I was immediately intrigued by it and thought right on the spot that I should buy a copy and maybe create a song cycle from the texts. 

Upon further research, I found out that John Cage compiled the content for his lecture using excerpts from works by Thoreau, Emerson, Wittgenstein, McLuhan, Buckminster Fuller, plus passages from The Wall Street Journal, The Christian Science Monitor and The New York Times. He then created the final text for his lecture by using chance operations with the assistance of a computer program that he created. 

And so I did the unthinkable, create a song cycle of words that has no meaning nor narrative in the traditional sense. Quoting John Cage: I have nothing to say, I am saying it, and that is poetry. 

John Cage I-VI (2023) is in six movements, scored for soprano and piano.

I WishYou Were Mine

From My CD Savor the Moment

     I Wish You Were Mine       
I wish you were mine, I wish you were mine, I wish you were mine to keep to myself,
 to myself if you were mine.
I wish you were mine, I’d love you always,

The stars would shine every night, From my heart to you.

Oh the glory, of loving you is within my reach, Oh the glory, of having you is all that I dream.

I wish you were mine, I’ll wait till the last drop of dew, Then if not of this earth, then in heaven, 

you’re my fountain of youth.

I wish you were mine, I’ll wait till the last sunset, A love that would follow the sun streams forever,

With us floating away. 

Oh the glory, of loving you is within my reach, Oh the glory, of having you is all that I dream.

I have ridden the wings of the dawn looking for a place to lie my heart to rest, flying over seas and hills I found your splendid home.
How could I explain what I felt when I saw your light, when I heard you calling my poor self. 
I feel your spirit looking after my lonely soul, I know your head is placed on my troubled head; I hear your voice: it's as sweet as a dream. 
Please don't let me lose my way hold me within your light. 
How could I close my heart to your blessed charity? 
Stars and skies tell me of your loving harmony. 
I see your love in the brightness of the moon; darkness will fade away the sun will shine over me.
