Harp - This page provides Mp3 samples from Glass Harp's Hourglass
CD . Below are the first few verses from one of the songs on this album:
" Standing small to the paintings of Your face
Feeling loved in the presence of Your grace
Knowing You are here with me
Overwhelms my mind
I want to fly higher than high
Just like a spire, to touch the sky
I feel Your love in this place
Feel the warmth of Your embrace
As the sun shines through
The colors flood the room"

"Missionaries
of the Poor (MOP) was founded by Father Richard Ho Lung, a Catholic
priest, in 1981, in Kingston, Jamaica. Father Ho Lung's involvement
in the lives and struggles of the poor and social rejects began
some years before he actually founded the MOP.
Many of his earliest musical compositions came out of these encounters,
expressing the cries of the people, both of joy and of pain. For
as Father Ho Lung always points out: “The poor possess a
joy that is pure and highly contagious, for it doesn’t come
from material comfort and prosperity but from the very gift of
being alive each day.” -- Missionary
of the Poor Web site
