pacifichordia are planning to release their first CD after Easter, 2008. It is hoped that the project will raise money for a pacific missionary organisation.

The choir will be resuming practices in February and plan to present a variety of Easter songs at churches around Ipswich, Qld.

Whilst many of our lyrics are drawn from traditional hymn-writers (see hymn-writer page) this section focuses on original words used in our songs. Often these are related to photos, some of which have been taken in Samoa and some having been taken in Queensland, Australia.

Reflections on the Water

Reflections on the Water of the light of God, crowning creation with gold and blue,
Drawn by God in peace and silence, drawn by God in Holy silence,
Drawn by God in peace and silence, drawn by God in Holy silence.

Mafaufauga I le sami o le malamalama o le Atua,
I le fa’apaleina o  mea uma I le auro, mumu ma le lanumoana,
Tosina e le Atua I le filemu ma le fa’alologo,
Tosina e le Atua I le fa’alologo pa’ia.

Cathedral

Sparkling water on a flower, in a cathedral of trees,
Reveals in gentleness the power of the Son who died and rose again for all humanity.

Water flowing on the mountain, cascading like a symphony,
Reveals God loves, like a fountain, like the Son who died and rose again and lives eternally.
