"Sounds Like Rain" is an instrumental Classical Guitar piece that I wrote and thought that it sounded like rain. It was the first song I wrote after beginning classical guitar lessons. The song is based on Matthew 5:43-48: “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matthew 5:43-48) Sounds Like Rain Composed & Arranged by Paul Brooks Horn III Copyright © 2014 Paul Brooks Horn III. All rights reserved. Disclaimer: This piece is my original composition.

He blesses us with many things like food, water, & shelter. He also has given us ears to hear good music & sight to watch YouTube videos, read music, etc. However, we don't glorify Him. Most people see themselves as "good," but the Bible says that "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory God." (Romans 3:23) Why? What is sin? Sin is the breaking of God's Laws (1 John 3:4): the Ten Commandments. Let's look at just a few of the Commandments to see how you are doing: How many lies have you told? Have you ever stolen anything (regardless of the value)? Have you ever looked at someone with lust? Have you ever used God's name in vain (as a cuss word, or an exclamation)? This is blasphemy and it is very serious in His sight. Think about it. Who else's name has been used as a cuss word? God, the righteous Judge of the entire universe, will judge those who break His law, and the penalty is an eternity in hell, His prison. However, the Good News (i.e. the Gospel) is that God wants to show mercy to us lawbreakers. God came to earth, wrapped Himself in flesh in the person of Jesus Christ, was tempted in all ways yet was without sin, and died on the cross to pay our penalty. You and I broke God's law, Jesus paid our fine, and He rose on the third day to show that He is God. Now God commands everyone, everywhere to repent, turn from our sins and turn to Him and trust Jesus as Lord and Savior. He will give you a new heart and place His Spirit within you and when you died, He will bring you into Heaven to be with Him for eternity. #soundslikerain #classicalmusic #classicalguitar #fingestyle #guitar #classical #solo #instrumental ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUcoUeSSVhQ

One of the first compositions for solo guitar. Cascades is based on John 4:13,14: "Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
