Zacchaeus, The Wee Little Man or COME AND GET IT! arranged by Mary Kathe...

The Zacchaeus song was arranged using glockenspiel or high bells, flute, oboe, cello and piano. It was written to accompany the story version that I wrote. This is my most popular song on youtube. While the credits are running I added in the song that my mother sang to us every morning to wake us up for school--Good Morning to You. Of course, I am hoping that people are listening to hear the Zacchaeus arrangement!

Now Thank We All Our God Nun danket alles Gott by Johann Cruger

This arrangement of Now Thank We All Our God is titled The Salt of the Earth. It is dedicated to those who dedicate their lives to living a Godly life as taught in Matthew 5, acting as shepherds to God's children wherever he leads them. It is dedicated to Dr. Morris Vaagenes, who after a successful ministry in his 80th year of life is serving Lutheran Church of the Master as its Senior Pastor. Currently Pastor Morris is in his 55th year of ministry.

The Salt of the Earth is related to the following phrase that came to my mind.... He's the salt of the earth, a light to the world... What this means to me is that the person is solid through strength from God, is faithful, honest and truthful, and serves the Lord with every house of energy granted by God.

Somebody's Knocking At Your Door arr by Mary Katherine May

My Spirit Lives for Alto Flute and Piano by Mary Katherine May

My Spirit Lives is a song that is very dear to me. Six years we lost a family member in an accident. Kenneth was 24 years old. He was a gentle, kind young man. Not long after his death, it seemed to me that this song was to be written down. Kenneth was now free.

Don Nelson and Sue Opland sing HE BROKE THE MOLD and ANGELS AMONG US

On this video you will hear my dear friends Don Nelson and Sue Opland perform two of my pieces, the first is an arrangement and the second original. He Broke the Mold is described in the previous post. The second song, Angels Among Us is based upon a Matthew verse, along with my idea that there will be nothing better than to spend eternity at the feet of Jesus singing praise--until the angels will allow me to rise and sing with them in the sky!

He Broke the Mold by Mary May The Solid RockMPEG 4

He Broke the Mold was written when the thought came to me that God will take our previous ways and break them apart, and then reshape the clay into a new mold.
