1.	Psalm 139 06:38	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 O God, you’ve searched me and known me You know when I sit and rise You know my thoughts and all my ways You know the words that I’ll say Verse 2 Where shall I go from Your Spirit Where shall I flee from you You’re there if I ascend to heav’n You’re there if I’m in the depths Pre-Chorus If darkness should cover me And light becomes my night Darkness isn’t dark to You Darkness is as light Chorus You knit me in my mother’s womb My frame was not hidden from you All of my days you have ordained Hallelujah I am fearfully made You knit me in my mother’s womb My frame was not hidden from you All of my days you have ordained Hallelujah I am fearfully and wonderfully made Bridge Your works are wonderful My soul knows my soul knows Verse 3 Search me O God and know me Test me, know my anxious thoughts See if there be any wicked way in me And lead me forevermore
2.	Lift Our Heads 04:51	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 The depths of our losses lie deeper than the floor of the sea Our tears have no meaning to the profit-making machine The ones placed above us look away in apathy God will you free us? Misery is now our routine Chorus 1 Will You come and overthrow our enemies How long will this suffering repeat and repeat Will You come and lift our heads in victory Bring down our oppressors Making them a footstool under our feet Verse 2 We’re sickened and tired that lives are treated with no regard The weak at the hands of the powerful to use and discard Shatter the idols of affluence and selfish gain Pour out your justice, and put an end to all of this pain Bridge At your right hand we will reign with you All the earth will be restored, renewed Chorus 2 You will come and overthrow our enemies No more will this suffering repeat and repeat You will come and lift our heads in victory Tag Bring down our oppressors (x3) Making them a footstool under our feet
3.	I've Got a New Song 03:55	lyrics	buy track
Chorus I’ve got a new song A new song of praise in me (x2) For my God is a God of deliverance Seen me through trouble and trial I’ve got a new song A new song of praise in me Verse 1 I patiently waited Your mercy my plea You showed Yourself faithful And loyal to me Prechorus 1 Though evil has surrounded me My sins have taken hold You are my help and advocate My enemies will fold Verse 2 You have preserved me With kindness and love Many and wondrous Are Your thoughts of us Prechorus 2 You pulled me from the deadly pit You silenced mouths that mock You turned toward me and heard my cry Then set my feet on rock
4.	You Are My Shepherd 02:44	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 You are my Shepherd You are my Shepherd I shall not want, shall not want You lead me forward Providing for me I have no reason to fear Chorus Though I journey through the valley Of the shadow of death You are with me Offering comfort In the presence of my enemies Your blessing unfolds You anoint me You restore me Verse 2 Your lovingkindness Your lovingkindness Shall follow me all my days My cup runs over My cup runs over And I shall dwell in your house Forever, amen.

about

This album is a collection of original worship songs based on the Psalms and written from 2016-2022. These psalms have carried me (Gloria) through hard times and allowed me to freely express sorrow and even anger, as well as defiant joy, praise and peaceful trust. With so much trouble in the world, I hope this album is a balm and outlet for you, and encourages you to be honest with God with all your emotions, just as the psalmists were.

**BANDCAMP FRIDAY FUNDRAISER 2.3.23**

All proceeds on release day 2.3.23 will benefit the Monterey Park recovery efforts, specifically Family Keepers, a Christian nonprofit based in Walnut, CA that serves senior Chinese speaking immigrants (majority of Monterey Park victims), helping to provide & destigmatize mental health services. More about Family Keepers: www.familykeeperss.org/copy-of-29
Bandcamp will also waive its cut of sales on 2.3.23 for Bandcamp Friday.

From Gloria: I live near Monterey Park and am the child of Taiwanese American immigrants, so this fundraiser is very personal for me. I also have a close friend who is a longtime resident of the surrounding Monterey Park area, and whose 1st generation parents used Family Keepers' services years ago. He is also helping with the org in community recovery efforts. I'm hopeful this organization can do a lot of good work for the community and am so grateful for your support.
