Welcome! Into Your Hands is a showcase for the sacred and spiritual music I’ve composed in all my years as a church musician and a platform for sharing that music.
On this site you will find:
- settings for responsorial psalms,
- service music, including parts of the Mass, and
- songs of worship and praise.
Most of my music consists of settings for the responsorial psalms that are central to Catholic liturgy. For these, I rely on the translations provided by The Grail as found in The Catholic Book of Worship III, the official English hymnal for Canada. The Grail has kindly provided me permission to reprint the texts of those psalms for use with my settings. Please see the license page for details.
The name of this site comes from Psalm 31, as used in the Good Friday liturgy: “Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit”. The site is dedicated to my grandmother, Yvette LeHenaff, who left us for God on March 26, 2009.
There is no advertising on this site, nor am I asking for any donations. You are free to use the music found here for non-commercial worship purposes, but any other use requires permission from the appropriate copyright holders.
Feel free to leave comments or to contact me personally about anything you see here. I hope you enjoy the site!

Hi Brother,

Hello Eric,
I’m from Shillong, Meghalaya, North East India. I’m truly touched by your two compositions on the Lamb of God and O Shepherd. Being an amateur in Music, I try all means to learn whatever christian music stave I get a chance upon. Keep up the good work for the Glory of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
