Bend my will to Thee, O Lord I can't remember where I was when I first had thought to ask where will we all go, when we finally have breathed our last? At such a tender age, I heard my mother say "Bend your will to Him, my boy." When I was quite young and almost blinded by a gun the doctor gently said, that more than luck had come this day so, bend your will to Him, in thanks. Bend my will to You Bend my will Bend my will to You, O Lord Now as I grow old Some things are more clear and others less so But what has never changed Is that we're all still just a mess, so when my children ask, "How should we spend the day?" There is just one reply I can make, I can make "Bend your will to Him, Bend your will Bend your will to Him, today and everyday" Bend our will to You Bend our will Bend our will to You, O Lord

World is Thy Ship It never comes undone the way I feared it would to live a life under your hands, how can it so misunderstood? In little more than a whisper You have called me from the danger like the breadcrumbs of Hansel You have led me to my Savior You have called us aside To suffer inside From time to time The world is thy ship, not thy home even though it doesn't seem so it's all that we know so only with help can we ever let go You have called us aside To suffer inside From time to time

Chaste Heart, Pagan Land I remember times beneath a foreign sky, but still there was such beauty to it all I remember days as vivid as the sun words could not begin to tell the love I've known Underneath it all I'm having so much fun to live the life I should is more than enough I have heard the song it beckons all day long the sound will never cease to ring in the age to come Underneath it all I'm having so much fun to live the life I should is more than enough And on the day we met O how my heart had leapt there was just one mission from that moment on Underneath it all I'm having so much fun to live the life I should is more than enough

about

'For where thy treasure is, there is thy heart also.'

The human heart is at the core of our essence on so many levels, but besides the yeoman's work of beating over 36 million times a year to sustain life, what treasure do we allow to occupy it fully? The human heart can grasp a glimpse of the heavens through humble service of neighbor or troll the depths of depravity through pride and vainglory. We spend most of our days somewhere in between, but we can look daily to the three hearts of the Holy Family as the ideal while in this fallen world.

about

Peter Johnston RVA Richmond, Virginia

To put it simply, Peter Johnston RVA is Catholic indie rock; you
wouldn't hear this at mass, but it does try to prove that traditional Catholic thought and indie rock are not mutually exclusive. It began easily enough as a few home recordings but has slowly turned into a full on project that explores matters of human dignity and common good in society.
Sincerely yours,
Peter Johnston RVA
