I LIKE TO SING WHEN I'M ALONE

Since I'm more of a "loner" than most of my friends, I'm thankful God gave me this "people-song" which children— and families with children— love to sing. May you enjoy its encouraging message!

When I wrote the song back in 2003, our society seemed to enjoy a safer and saner culture, so today the song's themes are increasingly vital.

HAD I TEN THOUSAND TONGUES TO PRAISE

On a 3x5 Post-It™ note, of all things, I wrote this tune and the first verse of its lyrics, back on Feb. 23rd of 2017— then finished the other three verses the following day.

During these past five decades I've hastily scribbled down songs on envelopes, in stores, in my car on the way to or from work— even on a Kleenex™ once, just as the music was ready to begin at a funeral service.

Sadly, for me personally, this song gives sober reflection on how many HOURS of precious TIME I have wasted in my fifty years as a Christian.

Tips... Insights... Song-writing How-to... Critiques... Time-saving Methods... to help make YOU a joyful bard for the Lord.

My best-known songs are probably "Lo, I Come"– composed before I was married– and "Teach Me, O Lord, to Number My Days" which you may have seen in various hymnals. I have many others trying to sneak out of their file folders, to join the march of music around the world.

Some will be introduced here first as just lyrics, to study the crafting of their messages, others will have music mp3 files or videos also.
