My heart's desire is to serve the Lord Jesus: so it has been a real blessing to bring together the songs I have composed over the years, most often based on verses from the Bible into an album.  I have been encouraged along the way by my husband, Tony, who arranged many of the words, my son Laurence, who wrote the words of one track and my daughter, Chloe, whose art work features on the CD sleeve and through the website. Thanks to the wonderful work of Andy Laurence who produced the tracks, provided the instrumentals and played the keyboard for many of the songs. It was such a joy to work with him, inspired by the Holy Spirit. Thanks too, to Joy Hindson who played the violin on four tracks, Cathryn Fernandez who played the flute; Andy Orchard on guitar; Adi Patrascu who played keyboard on two tracks; and Eliza Dimu who sang on two tracks of CD2. My prayer is these songs will draw you closer to Christ and that you will use and adapt them for church worship, youth and  children groups. The scores are available.
