about

The title says all it really, considering the fact that what God wants of us is often not what we do - take that any way at all. If we need peace in the world it begins with each of us, in the heart and the home, the nation and the world.

lyrics

Was I called to be a hermit,
I really couldn’t say,
Not a thing that someone chooses,
Solitude from day to day.
Yet the early Desert Fathers,
In the first age of our faith
Found a beauty in the simple way of life
Peace, be still.
Peace, be still (Ad lib) … It is God’s will

Even Jesus took to wandering,
So to find a place to pray
Where there were no more distractions
And He found the Father’s way
Peace surpassing understanding,
the heavenly dove descending
To impart the Father’s blessing on the Son
Peace, be still

Tempted by our own condition and our need find permission
We take no time to seek the presence of the Lord
Yet for those who lay their ear,
on Jesus breast,
God’s heart-beat hear
Evermore return the love of God they share
Peace, be still

Lord Jesus Christ Almighty,
Son of the Living God,
Have mercy on me a sinner
Peace be still, Peace be still, It is God’s will.

about

Paul Lucas Maryport, UK

I've been a music man since my mid teens and songs emerge when something prompts at the inner place and there's no telling when that will happen.

This collection of recorded material spans a good number of years - and hopefully there is more to come.

Music for me, is both a mood maker and a communicator, so I hope these offerings give you both food for thought and grounds for a good mood. ... more
