Morning prayer
A local Music store was selling their inventory and then I saw it...a harmonica holder. Well, I had to buy and try it, naturally. So it is added, somewhat roughly, to this simple offering. I also tried a "speaker assist" to help my little Pixel 6 phone cope. The song is a devotional of sorts. Hope you like it. Turn on the CC (closed captions) for the lyrics, and more.
God Bless you

This is the second song having to do with a memorial stone in my home-town of Granite City, IL. The first was written in the 90's and I'll have a link below. Without question what we have (or at least the opportunity) we owe to those who have gone before. As I mature I appreciate them more.

It's gonna be alright

Yes, for the believer the ultimate stress reliever is giving it all to Jesus. After that, it'll be alright. A companion verse to the one given (1 Peter 5:7) is Philippians 4:6,7 "Be anxious for nothing (Don't worry about anything), but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made know to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall ...
Pardon me, while I bleed

This is an interesting song. Yes, it's centered around my limited experiences and issues (yes, I put my glasses on the window sill and stand before the same mirror I have for 27 years [10,000 times]) but there was such travail with this offering I think our compassionate Savior was reaching out to the so many who weep...and bleed; not just me. After all, in the Bible, Psalm 34:18 says, "The Lor...

Having been blessed with a wonderful Japanese addition to our family I am beginning, slowly, to learn a little of the language. This birthed the idea for a song. This "story" song is about a non-speaker who has a bilingual acquaintance in his life. He wants to express his feelings towards this one and elicits the aid of a teacher. His lessons are very basic and the "Sensei" guides him in expres...

For those paying attention, yes, this is a redo of a recently published duo; one with lyrics, one without. Well, although my standards are not stellar when it comes to recording, even these two were below the line of acceptability. So, the redo. I'm skipping the "vocal" version and will, instead, provide lyrics in the CC (closed caption). I must admit, I was enthralled with the melody (aided by...
Love is the Present

A couple things: 1. So, what is that instrument? Although it resembles my beloved autoharp it's actually called a "Q-Chord Digital Songcard Guitar" from Suzuki. I thought they were extinct, but NO, my local music store guy (a wise fellow) pulled it out of the shadows and gave me a deal I couldn't refuse. You can do some fun stuff with it and I hope other "originals" are produced in the future. ...
Where sorrow dwells (and hope begins)
มุมมอง 1078 หลายเดือนก่อน
Although we all experience "mourning" to some extent, there are some among us, whom we pass and interact with perhaps daily, who are in a desperate downward spiral of sorrow. This song is for them. Engage Closed Caption (CC) for lyrics and an encouraging Scripture.
I Mourn the Universities (a recitation)
มุมมอง 6911 หลายเดือนก่อน
It's been well over three decades since I last strolled the avenues of a University campus as a student (a humble State institution). It had a leftward tilt, of course, but, it appears the "tilt" has become a full-fledged capsizing, with the result that the once-managed madness of the campus has been mainstreamed into the places of power and influence in society. ("Socialism?" egad!). And, alth...
I'm alive, because of you (To the First Responder)
มุมมอง 136ปีที่แล้ว
Dying prematurely is a tragedy, no matter the reason. When a life is cut short not only the individual passes, but also ALL who would have been influenced by this precious someone are affected. This song is two-fold. The ultimate first responder is the one God the Father sent to rescue us...Jesus Christ. But, there is another aspect to this offering, and that is to recognize those who sometimes...
For Your Hand, thank you (special thanks to St Louis University Hospital)
มุมมอง 140ปีที่แล้ว
This is a thank-you song. The ultimate thanks goes to the Lord who watched over one of my sons who suffered a serious fall. AND, the Lord used the excellent care at St Louis University Hospital to assist in his journey. But more than just the medical staff (which were top notch), it seemed that every part of this vast organization gave a measure of "care." And I appreciate it. He's well on the ...

See Closed Caption (CC) ALSO, in hindsight I probably should have attempted another go. There's at least one glaring misstep (guitar-wise). Alas, it was one of those cases where after many attempts this version was somewhat passable, so I put it out there. I figured more polished performers could put out a cleaner version. I may try again later. In the meantime I'm working on technique a bit. T...

Thank you so much! I can keep track of a comb better than I can a pick! ;)
Happy to help!
Very nice Bob. I felt tension leave my body while listening. The violin made your song extra nice.
I like the "strings." They tend to sweeten things. I attempted to add the harmonica. I struggled playing it using the holder. Thanks for listening! God bless you all!
@@RobertBander I wish I knew how to make those videos that allow you to split screen and record all the other parts then put them together. I'm too old to learn how to do all that complicated stuff. Lol
@@SilentNoMore64 Your wise and talented children are waiting to assist
Very nice Bander. Your piano playing is always so relaxing.😊
Very basic. Thank you for your kindness.
What a beautiful tribute. Thank you for taking the time to make such a lovely tribute for those who served their country and gave their lives. Very touching.😔
Awesome
Nah
Just when I finally start to get that song out of my head after a couple of days...here you are again!!! This isn't helping my personal song writing brain power. 👇 But it is sure is a great reminder!!! Keep going Bander!!!!😂😂😂👍🎵
love you my brother.
love you my brother.
I love this!!!! Your personality is shining in this. Now I know for sure,..🎶🎵It's gonna be alright!!🎶🎵. I am pretty sure I will be humming this to myself all day...and tomorrow..and we'll, maybe the next day, and so on.👍
God bless you sister! Time for you to post another video!
Excited about YOUR next video!
@@RobertBander Your a tough boss!😊
@@RobertBander I'm thinking about doing an old time hymn like How Great Thou Art or maybe a 70s Maranatha piece. Haven't decided yet.
Thank you. God bless you and yours
I have tears in my eyes as I am listening to this the second time. It's such a calming melody with so much emotion. Beautiful piano, beautiful everything.🎵🎶
God bless you sister. You are among the wounded, and the Lord will use your experiences to help so many.
Another beautiful song, thank you. ✝️
@@RobertBander What a day it will be when all of our worldly strain is relieved and God's glory is revealed throughout the universe. Beauty for ashes and the oil of joy for mourning!
This is wonderful song and you sang it beautifully. love hearing you sing and play. You have a powerful voice. Thank you. I hope you had a great Resurrection Sunday.
Finally a use for a comb!
My home State Sumter , South Carolina ❤
Such Talent🌹
I love watching your videos. You have such a calming voice. Every since you used a comb to strum the autoharp I’ve been a fan.
Thank you so much!
This was interesting. I had no idea you were into learning Japanese. I liked the melody a lot too. 🤩
Well, you inspired the finger picking. My Japanese daughter in law inspires my attempts at the language. The story is...a story.
@@RobertBander I'm so happy you are combining the two sources of inspiration. I hope she enjoys this as much as I.
😊
Thanks so much for another great video and some great music. Hugs and kisses from grandma, Sandy, and Debbie.
Thank you!!
THAT is an amazing instrument And you sing beautifully!
You are very kind. Much easier than the piano you play.
@@RobertBander thank you very much!
There is such a peaceful quality about this instrument. You chord progressions are very soothing. I could listen for hours. Oh wow! I just noticed those awesome dread beads...or should i say beard beads.❤❤❤😂
The beads were made by a talented saint.
@@RobertBander 🤔🤭
Inventive
Beautiful
🙏🙏🙏
Merry Christmas! ✝️ 🎄
That is soothing and simple 😌 I love it!!!! ❤️. And I like your new music contraption! 🥰 Good message! 🎄
God bless you, Pam! You're always so kind.
Beautiful, and Merry Christmas 🎄✝️
God richly bless you and yours!
🙏🙏🙏
Wow-weeee!!!! I love this. The lyrics, the music!!!! This is mind blowing. Praise God!!!!! Thank you Lord for this servant. Thank you for giving him this incredible gift. 🙏👏🙌🎉
Isn't Jesus wonderful! God bless you guys!
@@RobertBander Truly, God is great. He led you to that new instrument, I am sure of it. I can hardly wait to hear you play more beautiful music from it!🙆♀️
Hmm, the Lord could be speaking through you (again!). I was a bit fuzzy on which instrument to focus on next as far as a new song. I appreciate your encouragement and prayers. To God be all the glory! Love you guys!
@@RobertBander I wanted a 12 string for Christmas. Now I want one of these.😁
Just listened to this song again. I am grinning from ear to ear. 28 years, and i still have a crush on my sailor. 🤭
I can't believe I missed this. Bill and I watched this and we are amazed at you insightfullness and wording. Thank you Lord God inHeaven, that you see ALL things. Those who deem themselves wise will be dismayed and ashamed as they bow their knees and confess that You, Father God, are the great I AM, ruler of the universe who shines His great light on all of the injustices of this world. You see the unseen and You are coming soon. With you is your reward for those who have denied the false teachings of those who harbor evil in their hearts. Your judgement is perfect in every way. Come thou, oh Lord. Return with you radiant light.. Truly, how Lovely are the feet that bring good news.
Amen!
Beautiful! That's a great song ❤
Thank you! Written long ago.
Beautiful song and voice!
Thanks for listening! God bless
I just subscribed to your Channel, I love good music and gospel, I see you've been on here a long time I just started my TH-cam channel a year ago. Mine is a whole variety of different things including gospel music which my brother has played on there along with myself many times
Thanks for subscribing! I have also subscribed to your channel.
@@RobertBander Thank you and God Bless you!!!
This really touched my heart Bob. I felt a lot of peace while listening to this song. Peace that reminded me that God has our losses at hand because He understands our helplessness in some situations, and the pain we endure.😌
Another beautiful heart felt song. Wonderful sir. Thank you for sharing this. God bless you ✝️
Thanks for listening. God bless you also.
Great sound!
Thanks for listening!
So beautiful, God bless you
God bless you and yours
Sounds so beautiful like an antique music box
Yes, and not terribly difficult. However, calluses are necessary to play this way. Finger picks are available, though. Thanks for listening!
@@RobertBander your song is on my “learn” list. I will reference your video thank you so much I loved the style
Love the autoharp tones there. Very pretty tune. And God bless.
NO! NO! NO! LISTEN TO THIS PRAYER! LISTEN TO WHAT IT TRULY CLAIMS! This is NOT what Americans fought for in the War of Independence! And it's NOT what they've fought for in every conflict since. This is NOT a prayer for the US Republic. It's a prayer for ENDING the Republic and replacing it with a Christian Nationalist THEOCRACY. Will people who do NOT believe Jesus is their savior be protected? Will people who DON'T believe in the Christian God be protected? Will gay people continue to enjoy the same freedoms as Christians? Will women continue to enjoy an equal freedom with men? What about Jews, or Muslims, or Hindus or Buddhists? What about those Americans (currently around 10% of the population) who don't believe in ANY God? The answer, of course, is that ONLY those people the RULING Christian sect APPROVES OF will enjoy real protections. Will OTHER Christian sects be allowed? Will Catholics be as free as Evangelicals? What about Mormons? Or Quakers? Theocracies ALWAYS end up marginalizing and even criminalizing vast swathes of the population. And that will be justified because it's 'the will of God' (as interpreted by whoever is the dominant Christian sect in the new theocracy). This is EVERYTHING the founders of this great nation fought to prevent. Remember the words of Congress in 1776. The words that CREATED our great nation AS A REPUBLIC! "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." This a prayer to DISSOLVE ALL THAT and replace it with an authoritarian Christian Nationalist theocracy! A theocracy that will TELL you what to believe and how to behave! Whether you agree or not!
I'm so happy to hear the talent of ordinary music and freedom loving Americans come forth again. Folk music and Ballard's, down-home country music, and blues has always been at the heart of our nation. We need this classic way to carry messages from the heart and lift spirits again.
Agreed. God bless
I'm gunna make sure this song survives for future generations.
Thank you!
God bless you man, this is awesome.
Thanks for listening!
Thank god we live in a Republic. Imagine if this place was a democracy like all the foreigners and idiots think it is.

Im always so amazed by your music sir. Thank you for putting it our there. Im also happy that your son is ok as well. God bless him and all who helped him. I also love your flag. Thank you for that. ✝️🇺🇲
Thank you friend. To God be the glory, and thank you for your kind words. God bless you and yours.
This is such a beautiful song Bob. What a wonderful peek inside your heart, you have given to your viewers. I pray that God wilI let this piece be viewed by the one for which it was meant. I honestly didn't know you were a guitarist. You're full of surprises! 😊
Thanks sister! Not really a guitarist. Just learned a bit. God bless you all this Easter!
That looks uncomfortable, so close to the shelf :D love the voice, great song!
It was! Not much room. Thanks for listening.
