Psalm 36, Love and Justice
Psalm 36, Love and Justice January 13, 2007
I hope 2007 is starting well for you. I am starting it with a new CD called When Love Is Real. You can order it from CD Baby.com. On it I sing my favorite songs, accompanied by my son, Kent, who also sings harmony. There are two songs on the CD that I wrote the words for, and Kent wrote the music. (He’s a PhD in music composition!!!) The title song, When Love Is Real, was written when my husband was in the hospital after a near fatal car accident. It is my reflection on old love, in contrast to romantic love. The other song I wrote is Your Love Reaches to Heaven, based on Psalm 36. I discuss both of these songs on my podcast. By the way, Kent has a songbook for sale, of all the psalms put to his beautiful music, translated into inclusive language, and singable for all kinds of services. Check it out at www.kentgustavson.com. My favorite song on the CD is Precious Lord, Take My Hand. I find the words and music calm my harried soul and give me respite. Peace in the New Year. Cynthia
