Last Sunday, my friend David Jurgens and I recorded a video at my home. An old song called “Come thou fount of every blessing”.
Enjoy the video and stay tuned as we release a new video next week!

When I was a little girl I couldn’t stop drawing roses, the structure of a rose fascinated me and it seems to be a perfect illustration of beauty. The rose is so beautiful in their complexity and yet so simple. It feels like nature defines a word for us instead of the words trying to describe nature. I believe that one aspect of beauty is simplicity in complexity.
I’ve composed a piece of music where I try to illustrate beauty with – Simplicity.
Have a nice evening and try to relax:)

“Time is passing through the years, we’re searching answers to our prayers.”
Now we come is a song I wrote when I studied at the Music University . Actually I was practicing in a piano room and as usual I began my work with improvising. Then this song came in my mind and wrote it down. I thought about the last verses in the Bible.
He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
– Revelation 22: 20, 21

Now we come – lyrics
]]>When I’m standing face to face
Surrounded by His glorious grace
I give my song to honour Thee
One day o Lord I’ll see
The time is passing through the days
We’re searching answers to our prayers
Soon the Father and the Son
Are saying Now We come
Angels on the sky will sing
To my glorious King
Songs of joy we will always hear
In a land with no more fear
Angels on the sky will sing
To my glorious King
Songs of joy we will always hear
In a land with no no more fear
Time is passing through the days
We’re searching answers to our prayers
Soon the Father and the Son
Are saying Now We come
Angels on the sky will sing
To my glorious King
Songs of joy we will always hear
In a land with no more fear
Angels on the sky will sing
To my glorious King
Songs of joy we will always hear
In a land with no more fear
Soon the Father and the Son
Are saying Now We come
Enjoy!

The message of the song was well received, and to my surprise it was translated to Romanian. During the following years people asked me for permission to sing the song and also translate it to different languages all around Europe.
Here is a copy with the original English sheet and also one in Romanian.
You can also listen to this orchestra version.
Be blessed! Sharing is caring

Experience
The first thing I always did when I sat down to play, was to improvise. I just played what came out of my mind; current feelings, thoughts and experiences. As most musicians and story tellers I originate a lot of my work from my own thoughts and feelings. The piano has been my good old friend. When I am happy, I play. When I cry and tears are flowing down on the keys, I play. Even if I am angry, I play. Practical tip for you is to write down your experiences, sad or happy, and review occasionally to see what life has brought to you. Then, try to explain it through music.
Others
My brother brought a CD with Richard Clayderman when I was an early teenager. I can’t tell you how much I’ve listen to his melodies. And they’ve helped me a lot in my own composition. Around the years a lot of other artists and musicians have given me inspiration. Yanni, Yiruma, Michael W Smith, Fernando Ortega, Piano guys and so on. So continue to listen and learn from others, also don’t be afraid of learning from people who are very different from who you are.
Creation
The nature is wonderful. I get many ideas when I’m walking in nature and silently listens to what lessons there is to learn from a small flower or a large scenery. It’s amazing to know that your brain is getting 60% more creative from a walk : ) So, get out there, no matter the weather, and choose to observe your surrounding and ask the question: what can I learn from this and how can I tell it to others.
Faith
But the greatest inspiration of all is from the Bible. I’ve been very blessed and inspired through Gods Word where mankind has found counsel and guidens through out ages. This source of relevant information, often ignored by society today is my main motivation in my communication through music and voice. Read something every day. Meditate on the message.
Finally, I will share you one of my favorite Bible verses that I hope will spark your inspiration:
“I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.” Psalm 104:33
Be blessed.

The Lord your God, in your midst,
The mighty one will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness;
He will quiet you with His love.
He will rejoice over you with singing
Pastor Derrek Morris came to me one day at a conference and gave me one of his CDs. I listened to the Scripture songs that he wrote together with his wife on my way home.
During the summer 2014, we were invited to sing and speak at the Living Water Camp in Norway, surrounded by lovely mountains and lakes. Me and my good friend Daniela Pacheco were singing one of Morris songs.
Listen to the song below.

]]>All alone I hear a voice
Whispering words of hope
Come to Christ the Lord of all
He’ll never let you goLord You are near near near to my heart
Precious and holy let me be with You
Hear hear hear my prayer
And I will be safe in Your armsIf sadness and sorrow fill your life
Whisper a word of hope
Turn your eyes to the only One
He’ll never let you go
