| Dear Sonia, "I am writing to tell you how much I enjoy your music. The words of your songs are pure & true & I love the music & your arrangements... 'William' [my grandson] will not go to sleep unless he hears it. He said (when 4 yrs old), he's going to marry you when he grows up. You have a real fan... Your song in the new hymnal is one of my favorites. You truly have a gift from God." // |
| "Your songs are very inspiring. I want to encourage you to continue with your creative efforts. In this world of material pursuits your inspiring work & example make a fine role model for anybody!" // "Your albums are indeed a MIRACLE ... sparkling like a light beam. A kind of force that energizes the spirit thus providing a good rhythm to the mind and body. It gives a 'horn of plenty' from our Father above." // "As you sat down to compose your lyrics, I am convinced that Christ wrote them through you... the words of CHRIST coming from your pen & sung through your lips!" // "Your songs are anointed by the Spirit!" // "Your music is so inspiring for my family and me. There have been times when I have felt spiritually down and sort of empty. On one such occasion I was listening to "Sunshine & Rain" & my heart soared. I was inspired to seek God even harder that day." // "It's an honour to lend some support, albeit small, to your noble work. May the Lord continue to bless your efforts!" // "You have a beautiful voice & have chosen such wonderful music to praise God. I thank God that He has lead me to your music. I really enjoy it. Thank you once again." // "Your CD arrived today & I have already enjoyed listening to it once. I hope you will continue to be inspired to write & record wonderful songs. Thanks so much. // "I had a wonderful surprise and gift in receiving a cd of your 'In The Light'. The music and words are truly beautiful and oh so uplifting to listen to.... I often say that a good deed multiplies from leaving the giver to the individual receiver. It further does so each time the music is played & listened to. I hope this note will uplift & encourage you realizing the pleasure & peace you have given through your music & words!" // "Your songs shine as LIGHTS to those who are deeply & truly inspired by them". // 2009: "I am so thankful for the songs that God inspired you to write. My husband Rolf is not a church member but he ordered the music .... He ... really enjoys your music as well. At this time we need more than ever to hear music like yours!!! May God guide you to write more.... May God guide you in all things" // 2009: "Just love your music and would be so happy to hear that you are creating more in the future... it's uplifting and I love to listen to the songs on Sabbath. Thank you for helping to make my life more beautiful." // 2009: "Just received... 'A New World' and have listened... already... thanks so much. I really enjoyed it. I hope you are in the planning stage for other works of yours. They are so enlightening and enjoyable to listen to. Thank you so much for rushing this CD to me...I love it." // |
| "Wow...I'm so excited! It's been literally 22+ years! But, I have loved your very first cassette tape of "SUNSHINE & RAIN" and had memorized so many of these songs on your cassette so MANY years ago. I mis-placed / lost my Sunshine & Rain cassette tape several years ago... TODAY however, I found my old cassette tape (Sunshine & Rain) that I bought off of a guy... way, way, way, back when in the Ambassador years. Wow! I am THRILLED & happy you are still singing those beautiful and amazing songs you wrote! Over the years, your songs have often crept into my head as i recalled the lyrics & would just sing them out loud or in my head because they're filled with giving God glory and so cheerful. They often brightened me up when I was down, or simply they've always just made me joyful to sing them! Anyhow, my cassette tape is in bad / rusty condition after all these years, and so...I would LOVE to purchase your CD now of....Sunshine & Rain. ... I would also sing "your" songs to [my 3 ... daughters] when they were babies and when they were young, and so wanted to buy a "new" copy of the tape as it has truly been "worn out" over the years...but I still have it! :) Your songs are a gift from the Lord and I pray you continue on in writing & singing songs of Hymns & thanksgiving & praise! :) Blessings & joy." // "I think the songs you have written are beautiful and there is no doubt in my mind that God has inspired you in a very special way." // Jan 2009: "I want to let you know that I appreciate your music and the CDs ... I was introduced to your music and songs by a friend... in 2007. He gave me the CD "In the Light" and when I listened to it, I just cried, as the most beloved prophecies of the coming Kingdom were presented to me through the words of your beautiful music. I can't begin to describe how it resonated with me ... the things that God has in store for us are coming soon and your songs are a beautiful illustration of that Kingdom and inspire us to hold on to the vision of the wonderful World Tomorrow; no matter what! ... I'm so blessed, and your music is an added blessing in my life as well. Thank you for allowing God to use you in providing your gift of prophetic song to the church. As we get closer to the prophecies coming true, the songs become more and more relevant and almost seem like they were written for our time now and the end time prophecies." // 2009: "The CDs arrived this week -- and we LOVE them!!! They are wonderful! I'm so glad that I ordered them. The music is so uplifting . . . we sing them around the house and listen to them whilst we do our work . . . The CDs are a great improvement over our old tapes too -- they are clear and not stretched out!!! ;-) I do hope and pray that God blesses you with inspiration for many more beautiful songs. Thanks again." // |
I think... [when] you [Sonia] made
the album [A New World].. you had
the vision of the final days of this
age, and I think you created the
album from the perspective of
being on the brink of the final day
of this age – the day immediately
preceding Christ’s return.
While it is true that “A New World”
doesn’t have the vibrant uplifting
qualities of “Sunshine and Rain”
and “A Time for Everything”,
SHOULD it? You are portraying a
different time. After hearing “In the
Light”, I wonder if “A New World”
should not be the album that
follows it? That’s where it seems
to fit on the ‘real time’ scale.
"Genesis", for instance, is a
BEAUTIFUL ‘creation’. It certainly
gives a dynamic picture of the
beginning of all things. Likewise,
“The Gathering of Israel” is a
beautiful and very inspiring song.
I used to think that the first track, “A
New World” wasn’t the best to
begin the album. On the other
hand, it seems more fitting today
as we approach the beginning of
the end of this age. I now see that
it is the ideal song to begin with.
“The Summer of My Life” is a
beautiful love song. It seems to be
sung from the point of view of one
whose romance is potentially
breaking up, but nevertheless
remains committed. The mood is
perfectly compatible with what the
song was written to portray – in my
opinion. Of course, in the spiritual
aspect, it is also a love song to
God.
“Father Have Mercy” isn’t exactly
uplifting, but is it SUPPOSED to
be? It seems to me that it is sung
from the point of view of a
repentant attitude. Shouldn’t that
also convey a certain sadness? I
think the song is entirely
appropriate and conveys exactly
the mood that one should have
when repenting and going to God
for forgiveness and mercy. When I
first listened to the tape, I was
looking to be entertained with
spiritual, inspiring and uplifting
music. What I got was a tape that
rather gave me what I needed,
which isn’t always what I want to
hear. While it is a relief to repent, it
is not exactly a joy to go through it.
“The Law of the Lord” really
conveys the joy that is in keeping
God’s law. "Together, My Friend"
is another beautiful song that lifts
us up out of the doldrums and
gives us the incentive to go on to
victory – to endure to the end. It
really points us to God and walking
together with Him, but it also
brings out the value of having
friends.
“Yerushalayim” is a lively and
joyous song and conveys the joy of
Jerusalem – perhaps the NEW
Jerusalem? It is a fitting, inspiring
& uplifting way to end the album." //
