This is my own personal remake of The Lord’s Prayer. It’s meant to be a hymn of meditation and praise. I wrote this song after it came to me just after processing an extremely difficult trauma.

I wrote and recorded to songs recently about life’s struggles. They are basically the same message. I just made one a different style, and then changed up the lyrics a bit, to be much more spiritual, and re-arranged the music accompaniment to be more classical. Here’s the second version:

My earlier release, I Didn't Know I Could Carry This Much Weight, was reflecting on all I have survived, and how I surpassed myself that I could keep going u...

I made two more songs. Here is the version that is Indie folk style:

This past year has been an incredibly difficult struggle. First, I was told early last year, that I might not live beyond 6 more months. I have struggled w...
