Dear friends,

Hello again.  I pray that the Lord is blessing each of you.
There are 2 new items available at "Songs of Praise":

(1) I completed the music score for "Desperately".  Several people
    asked about this.

(2) Steve Israel, Larry Holder and I have a new song.  It is called
    "My Soul's Desire".  Steve started this with the music.  Larry and 
    I added the lyrics, and I finished off the midi.  I think you will 
    like this song.  It is fun to sing.  The lyrics for "My Soul's
    Desire" are listed below...

=================================
My Soul's Desire 

(Verse 1)
Merciful Lord, Father of love,
You heard my cry, and you came near to me.
In my despair, Lord, You were there,
Bringing me hope; by Your grace I am free!

(Chorus)
Lord, You are my soul's desire,
Yes, and Lord, You are all I require.
Lord, unto You I cry, "Abba, Father!"
O Lord, mighty Savior to me!

(Verse 2)
There was no hope, I was so lost.
Living in sin and sorely paying the cost.
You showed me how to walk in Your Way.
Now on the path I find new joy every day.

(Repeat Chorus)
Lord, You are my soul's desire,
Yes, and Lord, You are all I require.
Lord, unto You I cry, "Abba, Father!"
O Lord, mighty Savior to me!

(Verse 3)
You are my Strength, You are my Song;
Saved by Your grace, in Your love I am free.
In days of despair, Lord You are there,
Bringing Your peace and Your comfort to me!

(Repeat Chorus... Ending)
Lord, You are my soul's desire,
Yes, and Lord, You are all I require.
Lord, unto You I cry, "Abba, Father!"
O Lord, mighty Savior to me!
Lord, unto You I cry, "Abba, Father!"
O Lord, mighty Savior to me!
Mighty Savior to me!
