Heroic Prayer Chants for Men: Now on Heroic Men
Listen free to the Album for Men Who Want to Pray Like Warriors
I grew up loving certain kinds of movies and music. Gladiator. The 13th Warrior. If you’re here, that’s probably you too.
A great deal of Christian music is made for families, parish life, mixed crowds. There is real goodness in that.
But where’s the album for men who are out walking before dawn, lifting heavy things, climbing hills, running roads, going to work with tired shoulders, trying again to become solid men before God? So I gave it a shot.
This album “Heroic Prayer Chants for Men” is my attempt to give men a prayer soundtrack with deep voices, memorable lines, and a sense of heroism.
These are our everyday prayers. The kind we repeat in cars and churches and hard seasons. Now here, they are set to themes that men can hum after a workout, on a hike, during a drive, in the middle of an ordinary hard day.
Masculinity comes from God. Before masculinity becomes visible in fathers, builders, soldiers, workers, protectors, saints, and brothers, it comes from Him. Strength, focus, endurance, courage, sacrificial love, rightful force, protective tenderness, clean authority, the power that builds rather than devours. These things begin in God.
Good and honorable men do because God is.
This album is like a prayer retreat into masculinity. A way of remembering that male strength, rightly ordered, is good. The body of a man is good. His capacity for endurance is good. His desire to strive, guard, build, and overcome is good.
There is something healing in hearing prayer carried by deep male voices. Something in the chest answers. Some part of the soul sits up straight again. Songs include:
Christ with me
I Arise Today
Our Father
Ave Maria
Glory Be
Oh My Jesus
Come, Holy Spirit
St. Michael Prayer
Prayer to the Guardian Angel
Jesus, I Trust In You
St. Joseph’s Walking Song
Prayer rumbles through the body as well as runs through the mind. Heroic music can help awaken heroic habits.
wow!! thanks!
