Hello lovely ones! I’m so excited to share with you that I have new music available! If you’ll remember, I told you I was recording a new poetry album. I’m very ecstatic about this project as I so much enjoy setting poems to music. The new poetry album I’m working on features poems about women like Queen Esther, Rahab, Mary Magdalene, the Woman at the well, the two women of Revelation, a response to the Parable of the Ten Virgins, and more. I am making each of these poems available as singles for only 99c. The album will be released in early summer.

The focus for this new project is on women especially with the Maker of the women at the center of each poem. He has likened His followers to a beautiful, delicate woman. That’s not to say that women of other descriptions don’t count, it’s just an analogy. He has also likened us to a bride. The symbol of the woman is one that runs throughout the Bible all the way to the book of Revelation. Women have played such an important role in scriptures and I wanted to share their experience in poetry and music.

Another thing I am excited about is that I’ll be working on an official video in the summer for the poem titled “Conversation by the Well.” As we work on the video, I’ll be showing behind-the-scenes video clips and pictures with you on social media. I am beyond thrilled to be working with 16 Bars Multimedia on this new project.

Download Talk of the Town and Conversation at the Well from my store. More will be added as we advance in the project.

Read one of the poems, Talk of the Town below. Download it to listen to it with music.

There’s the woman the whole town has been taking about!
Act like you don’t see her
she’s coming this way
Let’s turn and walk away.
No, wait!
Some men are dragging her
What has she been up to now?
she’s nothing but trouble
trouble on the double
Where are they taking her?
Adulteress! I heard one say
Does she even have a name?
I’ve never heard anyone called her by her name.

They dragged her to the Wise Judge
This woman has been caught in the very act of immorality
Take a guess, look at her!
She was committing adultery
By herself? I wondered
It takes two to tango
does it not?

She stood there cowering, trembling
as one of them shouted,
What shall we do with her?
A woman like her deserves to die!
Our law demands we stone her
Stone her, should we not?

The Wise Judge stooped down
and wrote in the sand
then He stood up and addressed the men.
Who is without sin, cast the first stone
He stooped down again and continued writing in the sand
Then the men started leaving one by one
With faces filled with shame they quietly left
dogs with their tails between their legs
What did He write?
I wanted to know.
Oh! The secret’s out
He knows their hidden works
That what they accused her of
was part of a plot
they too were guilty of —
and many other things that they couldn’t stand to read
as He stooped there recording their evil deeds.

He stood up and saw they were all gone
Where are your accusers?
Has no man condemned you?
She said, no man Lord
Neither do I
Go and sin no more.

For the first time in a long while
She felt like a human being.
Isn’t this Mary Magdalene?

She glorified God’s name
as she walked away
Rejoicing

Free,

from shame.
