| I Thank You (My Father) |
Buy Sheet Music More Details View Lyrics Listen to Sample |
No need to feel that you are “down here” and God is “up there”. Your Creator has fought the battle for you, and won. You are loved through His grace and comfort. All that you have to do is say “thank you, Dear Father”.

| O’er Waiting Harpstrings |
Buy Sheet Music More Details View Lyrics Listen to Sample |
What musical riffs do we let sweep across our consciousness each day?
Are we willing to let the multitude of whispering angels in?
If so, we can be grounded “on the rock”, and willing to let God lead us in His
direction. | |
| Put Thou My Tears |
Buy Sheet Music More Details View Lyrics Listen to Sample |
A beseecher in “Put Thou My Tears” asks God not to be forgotten, and the
song then soars with the promise from God that He not only hears us, and
not only wipes away our tears, but proclaims that there will be some day no
need for tears, for there shall be no pain nor death. They shall all have
passed away.

| Apple of My Eye |
Buy Sheet Music More Details View Lyrics Listen to Sample |
| As I was spending yet another sleepless night, thinking about how best to
pray for a dear friend dealing with a severe challenge, I just couldn’t get my
thoughts calm. So, I asked for something that “I could know for sure”. What
came to me was this: “Why, she’s the apple of my eye! I just love her!” I
remained in prayer for quite some time. Once I was at peace, this song
came to me phrase by phrase, with the melody nicely married to it. My
deepest wish is that this song will continue to comfort everyone that hears it. | |
| Arms Around Me Presence |
Buy Sheet Music More Details View Lyrics Listen to Sample |
| This song envelopes its listener with the love that only His Presence can
provide. The poem that inspired the music was written by one who daily
ministers to the world. The music serves to uplift thought with the comforting
idea that His Arms are all around us. | |
| Seek and Ye Shall Find |
Buy Sheet Music More Details View Lyrics Listen to Sample |
| In digging into the scriptures, I found many passages that underscore that
God hears us before we even call, and opens the door for us, too. But we
need to “knock”, and we need to listen for the “still, small voice”. “Seek and
Ye Shall Find” brings reassurance that our prayers and questions will
always be answered, “for all I have is thine.” | |
| Shepherds And Kings |

Shepherds and Kings is a holiday hymn celebrating the universality of the holy nativity. | |

Ah....I remember the long discussion through the wee hours of the
morning..... and then came the sunrise! | |
| Baby Dog Bounce |
Buy Sheet Music More Details View Lyrics Listen to Sample |
Piano Score. When we were teens, my girlfriend Annie had a 'beau' while we were at a two-week music camp for 'strings'. His real name has long been forgotten, but his nickname never left my memory: 'Baby Dog.' Such a fun monicker serves this 'rag' well. | |
| Billy Boy |
Buy Sheet Music More Details View Lyrics Listen to Sample |
| Piano Score. Dedicated to all those seeking healing and restoration. May
you never falter in your journey.
Fun Fact! Billy Boy was used in an episode of
ABC's Desperate Housewives! | |
| Butterflies |
Buy Sheet Music More Details View Lyrics Listen to Sample |
Piano Score. This piece came to me in a happy moment, and the best description I could think of to capture its mood was “Butterflies.' Sample mp3 and full mp3 are from Deborah Offenhauser's album 'Butterflies.' | |
| Carmel |
Buy Sheet Music More Details View Lyrics Listen to Sample |
| Piano Score. This piece helps bring to life the stories from the Bible centered on the area of Carmel (featuring David or the prophet Elijah). Sample mp3 and full mp3 are from Deborah Offenhauser's album 'The Sweetest Sounds.' | |

Piano Score. After filling oneself with inspiration, “Final Thoughts”
offers a wonderful musical ‘benediction’. | |
| In Excelsis Deo |

Piano Score. Another Christmas treat for the fingers and ears! | |
| In The Corner of My Heart |

| This intermediate piano solo evokes a gentle response in listeners, with
enough chromatics to give it a distinctly contemporary flavor. | |
| My Heart Is Yours |
Buy Sheet Music More Details View Lyrics Listen to Sample |
Piano Score. When one is ready to receive a blessing, the heart must
be totally receptive. That means being “at one”. Sample mp3 and full mp3
are from Deborah Offenhauser's album 'The Sweetest Sounds.' | |
| Shimmer Waltz |
Buy Sheet Music More Details View Lyrics Listen to Sample |
| Piano Score. Wanting some direction on composing a new song, I asked my friends Tim and Lisa for some ideas. They suggested the time signature and opened the spigot of inspiration. Strange part is this: I couldn’t even play what I was hearing inside my head. I had to really practice it. That’s enough to convince me that it wasn’t ME composing this piece at all. All glory to on High! | |
| Willard’s Waltz |
Buy Sheet Music More Details View Lyrics Listen to Sample |
| After backing a ventriloquist act, I composed this short piece for the “dummy” named Willard. It’s a fun way to introduce an interesting time signature. See you if you spot “Mary Had A Little Lamb” hiding inside the piece! Best for later beginner/early intermediate.

| Zenith Rag |

Piano Score. My first love was named Zennie, but his official name was Zenith. He always did like this fun and sparkly piece! | |

| Children's Hymnal Primer and Coloring Book |
Buy Sheet Music More Details View Lyrics Listen to Sample |
| The Children's Hymnal Primer and Coloring Book (CHP) represents a dream Deborah has long held for assisting budding musicians in playing for Sunday School or church. No need now to fear big hand stretches or scary key signatures, because these arrangements are made specifically for small hands and beginning piano students. And, to make things even more fun, illustrations have been added, so the young student gets a sense of what the hymn is all about. The text has been left out only because various denominations may have different words they love best. But each hymn included here will give you a sense of God’s love and care for you! We know you’ll enjoy this hymnal and coloring book.
These hymns may be purchased as a complete collection or as individual hymns. | |

A fun piece for fingers to play, going back and forth between minor and major chords. It's easy to envision just what Mr. Major Minor is up to! | |

Little kitties, or even grown-up cats that still think they are kitties is what this piece is all about. Children love to sing the words as they play. A real winner for kids! | |
| Toby |

| Named after my orange tabby, this beginner’s piece delights little one’s with its lyrics and melody. It’s easy to imagine a child wanting to pet the cat, but all he wants to do is “have lunch with the birdies”! | |

of accompaniments that really add in the zest and sparkle to 1st-year solo
pieces in the Student Edition. Parents and teachers alike will
enjoy these Mexican-flavored arrangements as they accompany their
students. Also, the audio files can be used while the student plays along.

Heres a Bright Idea! You may
wish to put your collection of 10 pieces into a 3-ring binder. If you are
combining the “teacher” and the “student” collection, you’ll easily be able to
match the page numbers! For instance, “Page X” for the
accompaniment/teacher part should be on your left, with the “Page X” for
the student part on your right. Everything is formatted to match up exactly.
Enjoy!

individual downloads. | |

BIOGRAPHY
If you’ve been to a national touring Broadway Show, you might have heard
Deborah playing the keys for shows such as “Mama Mia”, “The Producers”,
“Hairspray” or “The Full Monty”. Or, if you saw The Irish Tenors or The
Moody Blues in concert, you might have seen Deborah performing with them
in front of crowds of 12,000 people. Or, perhaps you caught her on stage
with other well-known artists such as Michael “The Phantom” Crawford, and
Michael Feinstein (along with the Phoenix Symphony).
For fun, Deborah has tickled the ivories with groups and artists such as
The Platters, The Diamonds, Miss Patti Page and The Mills Brothers. Also,
Deborah has enjoyed teaching at the high school and college levels, as
well as inspiring the little ones to begin their own musical journey.
Her notable audience guests have included past Presidents,
Vice-Presidents, Senators, Governors and even Dame Margaret Thatcher.
Composing for children, as well as for adult pianists, gives a distinctly
positive tint to all of Deborah’s life. Whether the pieces are for
inspirational settings, or just personal enjoyment, the continual
unfoldment of new and wonderful ideas lends credence to that ancient
truism of "What blesses one, blesses all."
