Handmaiden Music: Handmaiden Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

Sometimes a testimony reveals the Lord more to others than what we may be given to share,
So along with this song and the Music Lesson (inspirational poem) below, I thought I'd share a little about this song/recording, that the Lord may be glorified. And also that you can know before or while you're listening, that the song is a GIFT to YOU from ABOVE.

This song was actually given IN the studio... by the Spirit of God....and I more than likely can never play it again in the same way. It wasn't in my thoughts, nor was it "written" to play. It was GIVEN me...for you.

First I received the piano portion, and played it out...without stopping. (Yes, I was aware that the anointing of the Spirit was upon me, and it was in one take, i.e. no editing.)

THEN, minutes later, in the same recording session, I grabbed my flute (kind of like a Mose's staff to me) and was given the flute part to lay on top of the piano. Again, yes, all in one take...

This is why I KNOW the music is from the Lord... FOR YOU.. to come into HIS peace...and into an awareness of his presence. It's a combination perhaps you are not used to hearing...the interlocking melodies...and it does actually calm you! (smile)


I KNOW in my own heart that this music brings calm to the mind and soul, so the Lord can speak to your spirit man, so feel free to copy this song down to CD.
Be blessed in the listening, my friends.

You can either close your eyes and "tune in" to the music... or you can READ ON while YOU LISTEN....and then really listen...later with eyes closed.

Music Teacher Lesson #18:

Our Prince of Peace
IS
God With Us


I wrote this inspirational poem/prose that you may find enjoyable reading and pondering while you listen to this music. Please listen to both the music and read these words as if the Lord himself is speaking to YOUR heart. He is a personal God...

Psalm 27 is recommended reading as you listen. Here are some exerpts:
“For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.” Vs 5
“Hear my voice when I call, O Lord, be merciful to me and answer me”. Vs 7
“I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” Vs 13
“Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” Vs 14


MAY HE BE YOUR PRINCE OF PEACE as YOU acknowledge HIS PRESENCE WITH YOU.
