About this song:The character in "Water From the River" is wealthy and regal, but despite seeming to have everything, he recognizes that he yearns for something greater.

About this song:"Blessed Be" expresses the excitement and gratitude for all the blessings the Lord has promised those who follow Him, not just out of law but out of the heart.

About this song: Sandy Harless offers an original eclectic mix of music sharing a little faith and hope in a tough world. Writing poetry and lyrics since her teen years, her interest in music has become a journey of worship and self reflection. Rather than religious, the authentic spiritual nature of Sandy’s music points to a true faith and trust in Jesus Christ. "Goodbye Lullaby" began as a lullaby one evening as she sang and rocked her baby to sleep and would not be completed for over a year. The rest of this story can be found on her website at
