Lyrics: O my soul, to heaven go My soul, to heaven go O rest in peace O rest in sweet release O my soul, to heaven go O my soul, to heaven go I saw my soul on a quiet lake Afloat on a quiet lake But O my soul My soul to heaven could not go And there it remained on a quiet lake My soul adrift on a quiet lake I prayed for the Lord my soul to take The Lord my soul to take He answered my prayer And took my soul into the air And now the Lord my soul does keep The Lord in Heaven my soul will keep O my soul, to heaven go My soul, to heaven go Now rest in peace Now rest in sweet release Allelu, Allelu, Alleluia Allelu, Alleluia

about

I hope these pieces will provide you with some measure of inspiration and transformation. They have for me: some since childhood Christmases, others stemming from my work as a hospice music therapist, still others from special life events. Many pieces have previously appeared on various collections produced by my dear friend and colleague, the muse herself, Carolyn Koebel. But those and others are now gathered onto one album here. I am very pleased to share them with you. Thank you for listening.
