Does your spirit need refreshing?
If your answer is “yes,” I can relate. When I first began writing piano instrumentals, the creative process was (and still is) therapy for my soul. The music was refreshing my spirit without me describing it this way. Over time it began to touch other lives in a similar way.
About one year ago I was prompted to search “Scripture inspired piano” on Google. To my surprise, I learned that my music and Music to Light the World held the #1 position, with several other links also on the first page of Google. This is what I had been calling my piano compositions from the first melody in May 2000.
This revelation inspired me to create the new tag line “Scripture inspired piano to refresh your spirit” to support Music to Light the World’s vision and mission. To learn more, click here. If you have been blessed, I invite you to join our 2015 Vision as well.
Even though this is the heart behind all ninety-nine tracks I have recorded so far, This Very Moment is one of the best choices as a 4-minute tool to refresh your spirit. Whether listening to the track or watching the sunrise music video filmed beside a pond with birds singing, I hope you are refreshed, and would love to hear from you.
If your spirit was refreshed, how would you describe your experience?
This Very Moment was inspired by the idea of cherishing life’s moments, and this verse from John 5:24 — “The Son gives life . . . Anyone here who believes what I am saying right now and aligns himself with the Father, who has in fact put me in charge, has at this very moment the real and lasting life.

Stanton,
Beautiful. Absolutely refreshing to my soul as well. Love what you are doing here. Ironically, I hosted my first-ever “live broadcast” on YouTube this AM to do the same thing .. .just offering about 10 minutes of stillness and soft music for prayer, reflection, meditation, listening … as a man who wears so many hats, and a husband and father of four young children … are days are so hectic. Taking care of the soul is critical. So peaceful — thank you!

Hello Fred, thanks so much for your encouraging words. I am grateful this was refreshing for you, and am excited about how you are refreshing others too! Stanton
