Thanks Dave. I never heard of her... in my bubble over here . But from a quick Google it seems like she struggled but came back to faith. Her book us now on my list...
Miker, you probably read that Moya was the main singer with the Irish music group Clannad. She had a beautiful voice. Towards the end of the funeral Mass the priest mentioned that she had sung for Pope John Paul II at World Youth Day in Rome in 2000. A song which she and her husband wrote called Perfect Time. I found a version on YouTube of Moya singing it in Armagh Cathedral.
Loved her music. She is Enya’s sister. I have her cd from years ago, such talent. She will be missed.
I love Moya's solo work as well, wonderfully spiritual English translation of this song (In the Presence of God): Verse 1: Show me the way Take care of me, Lord Every day and night Listen to my plea Verse 2: You gave me hope when I was feeling down You are true and full of compassion Forever fill me with Your Spirit I will sing of Your glory And the angels in God's presence Verse 3: In this world guide me Fill my heart with great love You are the King You made heaven and earth Verse 4: You put peace in my heart You brought happiness to my life I will play the harp To praise You as long as I live
