Music ministry at Pescadero Community Church is led by Minister of Music Mark Binion. Many local musicians and guest musicians have brought music to us and we have an open invitation for anyone to bring and share the joy of music. Our Flash Choir open to all comes together for holidays and special services.

Mark is a very accomplished musician and well-known on the Coastside. He has published several CDs. His extensive repertoire of music ranges from folk, blues, rock to classical and covers a variety of instruments, his favorites including piano, guitar and accordion. With perfect pitch, Mark can pick up almost any song in minutes and transpose to any key on the spot. His ministry at our church may add more to our enjoyment than any other human source.

The Lord Shines His Light
By Mark Binion

Lately I’ve been thinking ‘bout the days to come,

And the things I’ve done, Things still yet to be,
Then I stop to think about the man I am, things I’ll never understand,
But one thing’s sure clear to me,

The Lord shines his light upon us all
and it’s up to each and all of us to listen to his call
I wonder at the glory of it all,
The Lord shines his light upon us all.

Mother Earth, she sends a message every day
yet we go astray still we do her wrong
still she waits so very patiently
it amazes me how she’s held out for so long.

The Lord shines his light upon us all
and it’s up to each and all of us to listen to his call,
I wonder at the glory of it all,
The Lord shines his light upon us all.

Sometimes it angers me,
I think about man’s destiny.
It really makes no sense to me at all.
How much longer can we wait,
Filled with fear, controlled by hate?
I hope it’s not too late,
Pray it’s not too late.

Still I think about the days to come,
Time is on the run,One step ahead of me,
I know that somewhere there’s a master plan,
for the son of man, But we’re not ready yet to see.

The Lord shines his light upon us all
and it’s up to each and all of us, to listen to his call.
Sometimes they stumble and they fall,
But the Lord shines his light upon us all.

And the Lord shines his light upon us all,
and it’s up to each and all of us to listen to his call
I wonder at the glory of it all,
The Lord shines his light upon us all.

Peace From the Heart
By Mark Binion

Everybody’s searching for power
Everyone is looking for the answer, it seems,
It doesn’t always come in an hour
And everyone is searching for the key to their dreams

So come on in, you can all be my friends.
Don’t give up, you can try it again.
There’s really only one place to start:
Try a little peace from the heart

Everybody needs a connection.
Everyone has hope for a way to survive.
And everybody wants some protection
And everyone has hope that they’ll make it alive.

So come on in, you can all be my friends.
Don’t give up, you can try it again.
Although your world is falling apart:
Try a little peace from the heart

Try some peace, peace from the heart
Peace, peace from the heart. (3x)

Interlude

Everyone is searching for glory
And everybody needs a little someone to love
And everybody has got a different story
And everyone is searching for heaven above

So come on in, you can all be my friends.
Don’t give up, we can try it again.
And then you’ll see the light in the dark.
With a little peace from the heart

Try some peace, peace from the heart
Peace, peace from the heart (repeating…)
