GLORIA

Music and Lyrics

by Peter Link                                                                                  

IT’S WHEN THE SOUND OF STRINGS

PLAYS THE SIMPLEST THINGS

GLORIA

IT’S WHEN THE BLACKBIRD FLIES

ACROSS THE RED NIGHT SKY

GLORIA

I FEEL THE TOUCH OF YOU

HALLELU

GOD’S GRACE GIVES ME PEACE

WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE ME DO

I WILL DO

TILL I FIND MY SWEET RELEASE

IT’S WHEN THE ROLLING SEA

SINGS ITS SONG TO ME

GLORIA

IT’S WHEN THE SUN GIVES BIRTH

TO THIS GLORIOUS EARTH

GLORIA

I WATCH CONCEPTION RISE

THROUGH YOUR EYES

AND I’M LOST IN THE WONDER OF YOU

AND THOUGH I LOSE MY WAY

COME WHAT MAY

YOU WILL ALWAYS SEE ME THROUGH

GLORIA

GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO

GLORIA

GLORY BE TO GOD ON HIGH

GLORIA

GLORIA

IT’S WHEN MY WALLS FALL DOWN

AND MY JOY IS FOUND

GLORIA

IT’S WHEN THE MOST PROFOUND

IS THE SIMPLEST SOUND

GLORIA

I FEEL YOU WATCHING ME

SILENTLY

IN YOUR STRANGE AND GENTLE WAY

YET WHEN YOUR FIRE BURNS

AND THE MOMENT TURNS

THEN THE FALSE JUST FALLS AWAY

GLORIA

Julia Wade,

for most of you, possibly needs no introduction. President and COO of WFM and Best-selling Artist over two decades, she is now in the studio recording her 15^th album. As President she has led this company creatively and oft times dramatically through two decades of the ups and downs of the music business. As a vocalist serving as Soloist of her international church headquarters in Boston for seven years, she has developed a world wide audience of dedicated fans, performed at Carnegie Hall, sung a leading role at the Rome Opera, and performed the title role in Watchfire Music’s hit Podcast Musical, Rosemary and Thyme to name only a few accomplishments

John James

epitomizes creativity. This enterprising singer, songwriter has performed with Music Industry royalty such as Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder plus a list of stars that would overwhelm this column. Peter Link says of John, “John is probably the greatest male vocalist I ever worked with. I never wanted to do a session and not include John. His ability to improvise often astonished us all in the studio and his instrument, his fabulous voice, could light up a song and bring the house down. For nearly ten years, whenever he was not on the road, he performed flawlessly with the Jenny Burton Experience. You may not know him, but you’ve heard him singing on countless hit songs over the past two decades.
