Details:
If you stop for a minute to talk with contemporary performing artist, SHARMANE, you will find very quickly that you are drawn to her abundant energy and infectious spirit. Her love for life, and her faith, is both contagious and welcoming.

SHARMANE (Adams) grew up as a child who traveled the globe. She was exposed to numerous cultures and openly admits that she was blessed with many of the material privileges that only some can imagine. But, as she grew into her adult life and was confronted with numerous challenges, she felt a yearning to grow deeper and more spiritual in her life journey. Although she was rooted in a Catholic upbringing, it wasnât until she attended a parish mission that she truly converted from being Catholic to being CATHOLIC-living her life on-fire for her faith! As SHARMANE embraced this new direction for her life she also quickly realized that music and ministry would be a significant aspect of this conversion experience. Although she had been singing her entire life, (from performing in pageants to serving as a cantor at her local parish), the renewal of her faith took her music and songwriting in a whole new direction.

In 2002, SHARMANE released her debut album titled, "PRAYERFUL HEARTS." This CD was not your typical âcontemporary Christianâ recording project that many artists create as their first-ever CD. The project was delightfully aimed at children with its musical retelling of the classic prayers of the Catholic faith. SHARMANE took her commitment to this project one step further, however, and made it so that proceeds from the project would be contributed to Our Lady of Clear Creek Monastery (a Benedictine Monastery in Oklahoma). This CD ultimately reached the Top 10 on numerous Catholic music sales charts which inspired others to ask SHARMANE for more of her music. But it wasnât until she made a long distance move with her family, battled a life threatening illness, and started a new business venture with her husband did she release her sophomore CD, self-titled "SHARMANE".

"SHARMANE" was inspired by the notion of simplifying life through prayer and song. As a wife and mother, SHARMANE understands how life can become so busy that we lose touch with our own inner peace. This CD captures that essence and gently brings the listener back to a place of solemnity and calm. The lyrics are uplifting and stylistically the music is diverse, but the constant theme throughout is about settling down and absorbing a sense of peace and grace.

The music of SHARMANE has inspired listeners worldwide with thanks to radio (especially EWTN Worldwide Radio Network and Sirius satellite radio). Sheâs been featured in several magazines and newspapers and has been interviewed for various websites and pod casts. Recently she was invited to perform as the featured artist on the EWTN television program, Backstage. She has also been nominated for several UNITY AWARDS presented by the UCMVA.

Today SHARMANE continues to travel as a music minister and as a spiritual champion for her faith and the Sacraments. She performs and speaks at numerous church events and conferences which she caters according to her audience whether it is a youth event, a womenâs retreat or a family-friendly parish event. SHARMANE is actively presenting her 3 day mission program titled âMake Me an Instrument of Your Peaceâ and is passionate about encouraging interaction of the family and delivering the message that Faith is alive in your household. Through these opportunities SHARMANE hopes to open your heart to God and to help YOU to embrace a conversion of heart.

SHARMANE currently resides in Florida with her husband and two children.

Album Lyrics:
Open My Eyes
Open My Eyes Lord â Help me to see your face
Open My Eyes Lord â Help me to see
Open My Ears Lord â Help me to hear your voice
Open My Ears Lord â Help me to hear
Open My Heart Lord â Help me to love like you
Open My Heart Lord â Help me to love
And the first shall be last
and our eyes are opened
and weâll hear like never before
and weâll speak in new ways
and see Godâs face in places weâve never known
I live within you deep in our heart Oh love
I live within you rest now in me
Open my Eyes Lord â Help me to see

Act of Contrition
Our Lord Jesus Christ, suffered and died for us,
In his name my God, have mercy on us, amen.
Oh my God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart
In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, Oh Lord
I have sinned against you, whom I love with all my heart
And I intend with the help of your grace, to confess my sins,
do your will and sin no more and follow you, for the rest of my life.
Our Lord Jesus Christ, suffered and died for us,
In his name my God, have mercy on us, amen.

Listen to Your Heart
I wasnât listening to Him⦠Knocking at my heart
Even while I fought Him⦠I knew He was right
All the trials and tribulations ⦠That Iâve had in my life
Vanished with the darkness into His light
When He said, Let me open up my arms for you

And listen to your heart.. Heâs telling you, itâs gonna be alright
Wonât you listen to your heart⦠heâs leading you out of the dark

Weâll Iâve put myself in danger. I walked into the fire
I didnât know my protection was here all along
Then he said, Le me wrap my arms around you

Listen to your heart.. Heâs telling you, itâs gonna be alright
Wonât you listen to your heart ⦠heâs leading you out of the dark


Angelâs Song/ Angel of God Prayer
I keep you safe. I hold you tight. I pray for peace throughout your life.
And if you listen carefully⦠Iâll be singing⦠next to theeâ¦

Angels of God my guardian dear to whom His love commits me here
Ever this day be at my side to light to guard to rule and guide.

Standing in the Shadows
Sleep my little precious one, angels watching over you
Night has fallen, a child is born
Eve before a glorious born
A baby born in Bethlehem
To save our world from satanâs hand
So sleep my little precious one, angels watching over you

Close your eyes, dream away.
The sun will rise on Christmas day
Angels singingâ new born king
And wisemen came with gifts to bring

Cause a baby born in Bethlehem
To save a world from satanâs hand
This child of power, this child of might
Sleeping softly through the night

Sleep my little precious one, angels watching over you
Angels watching over you
Angels watching over you
Angels watching over you

Morning Prayer
Loving God I offer you today
all that I think, I do and I say
I offer it all with all that was done
By Jesus, my brother, Jesus your Son

Standing in the Shadows
Iâm standing in the shadow of you
Watching for your presence to shine on through
Standing in the shadow of love, my eyes upon you

Iâm standing in the shadow of you
Just watching for your glory to shine on through
Standing in the shadow of love, my eyes upon you

My eyes upon you.

St. Michael
St. Michael the Archangel â Defend us in the Day of Battle
Be our safeguard against the wickedness
Our protection against the snares of the devil
And may God rebuke him we humbly pray

Oh prince of the heavenly host
By the power of God â cast into hell
Satan and all his evil â who prowl the world seeking ruin
Ruin of soul

And may God rebuke him we humbly pray
St. Michael the Archangel â Defend us in the Day of Battle
Amen Amen Amen

Close Your Eyes
Itâs alright, close your eyes
Let me sing you a lullaby
Let me hold you in my arms
I will sing you a love song
Angels come now sing with me

Oh, close your eyes
Oh, close your eyes
And I will sing you a lullaby

Itâs alright I am here
Child there is no need to fear
I will never go away
I will lead you to the endless day
Child can you here them singing

Oh, close your eyes
Oh, close your eyes
And I will sing you a lullaby
I will sing you a lullaby
