"There is
great healing in music. I have always believed this. From my
early childhood, music has always been an important
influence in my life. And some of my earliest exposure to
music was that which I played and sang in church and Sunday
School."

Hear My
Prayer, Volume Three
Has there been a time in recent history when the need for peace was greater
than it is right now? Not only peace in our world, but peace in our daily lives.
When I feel at odds with the world, I turn to music. As I previously mentioned, my
earliest exposure to music was from our hymnal. I find that this beautiful music
continues to soothe the soul and instantly gives me hope and peace in a very noisy world.
I hope this music brings you the same pleasure as a
listener, as it does for
me as the artist.

Hear My
Prayer, Volume Two
When I released Hear My Prayer, Volume One, I had no idea
that I would receive
so many responses from “new” friends. People from all over the
country have
written to share their personal experience and reaction to
this beautiful
music from our hymnal. Many have said that they now begin and
end their day by
listening to it.
I hope this music brings you the same pleasure as a
listener, as it does for
me as the artist.

“Hear My Prayer - Volume One”
“Hear My Prayer, Volume One” is a collection of
instrumental arrangements of some of the most popular hymns,
including “Abide With Me,” “I Need Thee Every Hour,” and “Nearer
My God To Thee.” Plus thirteen other arrangements of hymns specifically
chosen for mediation, reflection, and healing.
Advances in recording technology
have made it possible for me to recreate every instrumental sound
heard on the album, which was recorded in my studio, in Studio
City, Ca.
Now, more than ever, I believe we
need to find time in our daily lives to meditate and pray. I hope
this collection of beautiful music will occasionally accompany and
enhance your meditation and "quiet time," and perhaps even bring
back some of your own Sunday School memories. Secure Online Purchasing With PayPal

What your friends are
saying about
"Hear
My Prayer" .......................
“It has quickly become one of our very
favorites...what a blessing 'Hear My Prayer' is...”
Catherine V
Chico, CA
“I have shed a tear each time I hear Mrs.
Eddy’s hymns with an orchestra accompaniment.”
Dianne S
Richardson, TX
“I played it twice, meditating on the healing
music of the hymns, and I walked away joyous and free.”
Helen K
Sanibel, FL
“Hear My Prayer” is absolutely beautiful... It
brought tears to my eyes. I look forward to my parents hearing it,
as I know they too will love hearing these beautiful hymns. “Nearer
My God To Thee” is especially gorgeous and I find myself singing
along with it.
D. Zimmerman
Marshfield, WI.
One afternoon while I was “surfing” the
Internet, I let my mind wander to recent, disappointing events in
the world, and in my life, and I became very sad. The more I thought
about these things, the sadder and more depressed I became. All of a
sudden, almost as though I was looking for something, my eyes
wandered to a stack of papers on my computer desk. In that stack of
papers, I spied a new CD which I had been given for Christmas,
called, “Hear My Prayer” by Cliff Bemis. I put it in my player right
away. As I listened, I could feel myself looking forward to the next
selection, and the next, feeling more calm with each beautifully
arranged song. After listening to the entire CD, I felt myself ready
to go about the rest of my day without feeling so sad and depressed.
Now, I start my day by listening to “Hear My Prayer.”

Music of the season
My singing career
actually had its roots in the music of Christmas. As in so many
other families, Christmas Eve in the Bemis home has always been a
very special night. As long as I can remember, my brothers and
sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, friends, and
of course my mom, have gathered to celebrate and observe this most
holy and magical eve. After
enjoying an array of traditional Christmas delicacies, sharing
stories, and in general "catching up" on what we have
been doing for the past year, I sit at the piano and play, while
young and old sing the beautiful carols that we all know and love.
"O Come, All Ye Faithful" leads off the songfest, which
concludes with "Silent Night." Usually a tear or two
accompanies the beautiful harmonies, as we remember those who are
no longer with us.
I hope this album becomes a part of your holiday celebrations for
years to come.
Merry Christmas !
Cliff

The Badge of The CHP
For several years now, I have been
trying to find a way to honor the men and women of the California
Highway Patrol. While I have the highest regard for all who enter
the field of law enforcement and the fire service, I have grown
particularly close with the CHP. The death of my friend, CHP
Officer Bruce T. Hinman in 1995, was devastating to his family and
friends. And so to remember Bruce, and to honor the officers of
the CHP who work everyday protecting citizens across our state, I
wrote and performed "The Badge of the CHP" and have
officially donated it to the California Highway Patrol.
If you aren't an officer, but
appreciate the job these men and women do for us on a daily basis,
you may want to add this CD single to your collection.

What others are
saying about "The Badge of the CHP".................
"Cliff...today I received my copy of your
song. As a retired Lieutenant, I sat and listened while drinking
my morning coffee and tears came to my eyes. After pinning on that
badge for over 22 years, I never realized how much I loved doing
that. Your tribute to Bruce Hinman and to the men and women of the
CHP is nothing less than fantastic. Thank you very much." Lt. H.
Thomas G.
"I retired from the CHP in 1994, and I thought I never would be
emotional about anything concerning the CHP, but your song
"The Badge of the CHP" actually brought tears to my
eyes. It is a great song and I and everyone that is currently on
the CHP and those that are retired from the CHP can't thank you
enough for your recording of this song. Thank you very much:"
Off. Tom M.
"I recently received a copy of your song, "The Badge of the
CHP". I was and am, every time I play it moved by it. I am
retired from the CHP, since 1980 with a on duty injury. I want to
thank you for this song. It brought back a lot of pride I use to
have for the job. Thanks"
"I wish to thank you for your new CD 'The Badge of the CHP.' I
have played it several times and find it very touching!! It makes
me Proud to be a CHP Officer. Officer Bill W.
"I want to thank you for your wonderful new
CD 'The Badge of the CHP.' I play it over and over. Even though I
am kind of a "stiff upper lip" kind of guy, I get a lump
in my throat, and tears in my eyes listening to it." Officer
Brad O.
"I am sending you my most deepest thanks,
even though my gratitude pales by what joy your song has given me.
My son came home for Christmas, presented me with the gift of your
beautiful song. As it played, I took my son in my arms and we
danced while listening to your moving words. It was difficult for
me to hold all the tears back."
"I, as a mother of a CHP officer, wanted
you to know the words you wrote are true and touched the very
essence of who these men are. We raise these sons to respect their
elders, have a sense of strength and pride in themselves and who
they are. When they grow up, they seek that which seems to honor
their teaching and I cannot tell you how filled with pride I am of
this boy who became a man who wears that badge. I am not sure he
knows it, but he has honored me his professional choice and my
pride goes beyond words.
"I do not have many opportunities to hold my son in my arms
anymore so I thank you for "the moment" I was able to
share with my son this Christmas. I also thanked God for you and
your song" Judy M., mother of CHP Officer
