about

This week I'm joining Zion Lutheran in Cloquet, MN to sing my usual songs plus one I wrote just for them. They provided some great stories from the congregation and I picked one to build a song around. It's a simple story, and I was reminded by times I felt a devine intervention. The idea of angels sure appeals to me.

Number Thirty Six, September 6th, 2012

May Angels Lift You Up

When you're lost in the crush
Swept away by the rush
Not a friendly face in sight
May angels lift you up
May angels lift you up so high

When you're alone where your goin'
And the storm winds blown'
And you have no strength to try
May angels lift you up
May angels lift you up so high

Fear so deep
You feel it in your heart
Rise to see
Shining in the dark
Love is shining in the dark

When you're weary and worn
From the road that you're on
And it's left you wondering why
May angels lift you up
May angels lift you up so high

Fear so deep
You feel it in your heart
Rise to see
Shining in the dark
Love is shining in the dark

At the close of the day
In the quiet you pray
And the moon lights up the sky
May angels lift you up
May angels lift you up so high

James Hersch Minneapolis, Minnesota

I live on this piece of prairie. I'm passionate and dedicated to writing songs in hopes of singing them for people. I don't think I could continue without both ends of that process. Create then hope. It's here I write songs, and here I wait to sing them for others. ... more
