Paper Houses - by Paul Berg

Paul wrote this song and recorded it (piano and main vocals) just a week before he passed away as he was losing his voicebox to cancer. His good friend Pete came to our home, recorded Paul, added guitar and drums and back up vocals. Greg, another friend of Pauls then turned it into a beautiful media presentation. This was played at Paul's funeral service - what an incredible gift!

Absolutely one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. I am so glad Paul was able to get it recorded with his own voice. At times, he sounds almost child-like...exactly as Christ asked us all to be. What a precious gift Paul has given to us! Thank you so much for sharing!!

Till we meet again, Paul...

This song is such a tribute to Paul in so many ways- his wonderful talent and creative, passion and soul, and dogged determination to finish the race strong. We love you Paul.
