What a Wonderful World is the most popular Louis Armstrong song that he ever recorded. But did you know it didn’t become popular during his lifetime? There has been several versions of this song recorded by both independent and mainstream artists throughout the years. For example: Barbara Streisand, Celine Dion and of course Israel Kamakawiwoʻole all did their own beautiful renditions of this classic. However, there has not been an artist to record this song that has come so close to sounding like the great Satchmo himself until now. John Redmon accompanied by the world-renowned Thomas J.

Pass It On (MP3 Instrumental)

The Kurt Kaiser inspirational ballad Pass it On reminds us that it only takes a spark to get a fire going. Like a smile, God’s love is infectious. You can’t keep it to yourself. You’ve got to Pass it On. If the Sound of Music starring Julie Andrews was a christian film we believe this beautiful hymn would be included on the soundtrack. Pass it On is performed by Katie Reeves and The Sunrise United Methodist Church Children and Adult Choirs of Colorado Springs, CO.

Love Yourself Lyrics

(Written by John Redmon)

(Verse 1)

I saw a man on the corner

With tears in his eyes

It seemed like he had given up

He gave his last ride

I went to him to reassure

Everything would be alright

He shook his head and fell down as dead

But these words he left behind

(Chorus)

How can you love somebody when you can’t even love yourself

How can you hold somebody when you’ve never been held

How can you forgive somebody when you never got a second chance

How can you love somebody when you can’t even love yourself

(Verse 2)

I saw her at the altar

With her hand in his hand

But instead of joy I saw fears

Instead of smiles unresolved tears

I wondered why she was getting up

During the holy prayer

She yelled “I can’t!”

Got up and went

Broke for the exit doors

A little later I called her up

To ask her the reason why

Then I heard her on the other end

In a monotone cry. She said…

(Repeat Chorus)

(TAG)

I’m ready to love me

I’m ready to hold me

I’m ready to trust me

I’m ready to believe in me

But I must forgive me

So I can love me

(Repeat Tag)

Lyrics: It’s only been a couple of months since you’ve left me but it seems like it’s been ten thousand years. You walked out on me without any notice. But now here you are again.

Can’t Breathe Lyrics

(Written by John Redmon/Performed by Ajani Asante)

(I)
You are my song to sing
You are my dream to dream
You are my wish upon a star (oh by far) You are my melody
With perfect harmony
You are my angel in disguise (my my my)

(Chorus)
I want you more and more each day
Need you forever plus a day
I cannot breathe unless you say you love me

(II)
My heart is aching for your love
My body quakes from just your touch
I can not help but fall in love (again and again and again) I am your gift to bring
I am your offering
Do to me whatever pleases you
(Repeat Chorus)

You Made the Difference (Remix) Lyrics

(Written by John Redmon)

I know that You can change a life
I know that You can change a life
Because You have come and changed my life

(We know that You can change a life
So glad You can change a life
Because You have already changed our lives)

I looked at my hands and they looked new
Then down at my feet and they did too
I searched in my heart for a new heart means I’ve got A brand new start

(We looked at our hands and they looked new
Then down at our feet and they did too
We searched in our hearts for a new heart means we’ve got A brand new start)

(Tag)
You (You made the difference) You (You made the difference) You (You made the difference) (Repeat)

(Vamp)

(Changed my walk Changed my talk
How I look and how I feel

Picked me up
Brushed me off
Once was lost but now I’m not)

(Mix Tag and Vamp BGVs together at the end)
