All the Saints Cry Holy Holy

This song impressed me because the lyrics are incredible but I'm also impressed by the voice from this small lady. She has quite the range. Meredith Andrews reminds me a little of Kari Jobe, so if you are a fan of KJ, check this out. I found this explanation behind the song and the acoustic/live performance of it. She did a great job. Check it out:)

How Sweet the Gospel Sounds to Ears Like Mine

I stumbled across this band recently and am so incredibly impressed by their depth and talent. Meet Beautiful Eulogy. Honestly, they remind me a little of a Mackelmore-ish sound. Their lyrics are awesome and I highly recommend them. Check out this sample. I posted the lyrics below the song. I added their page to the list on the left. They are with Humble Beast Records, which is a cool project. Check out their about me page. Here is a glimpse into what they do... Humble Beast is a family of creatives, pastors, writers, theologians, and musicians, who leverage their talents to see the Gospel go out into the community and transform lives. We do this as individuals and as a family. Individually, we live our lives as missionaries, disciple-makers, and culture-creators. As a family, we combine our efforts to create a hub of Gospel-saturated resources, communicated in compelling ways for everyday people for free. There used to be a time when we were fine living life with no particular religious bend. Pretending to be our own Gods inventing our own system of belief so as to not depend on anything other than our own self governing consent. Defending an impending doom with no perceived need to concede or repent. Presuming our innocence in a sense dissent. The sting of death was only the inevitable end of everything we could never rightly understand or comprehend. We used to fear the unknown until God made himself known and atoned mending the relationship between God and men. Giving his life as a ransom for many when he died and ascended and in that one event the certainty of eternal death was circumvented. Making a way for the day when history stops and time suspends. Spending eternity in fellowship that never ends. We see the greatest expression of God’s love extended in the moment when those who were once enemies instead became God’s friends. How sweet the Gospel sounds to ears like mine. Well acquainted with pain and strained relationships. Friendships that suffer from long distances, or even worse they get severed from something more severe. And He still hasn’t wiped away all my tears yet. My cheeks get wet every now and then. Even when I give my best, I know I fall short. I get scared when the balls in my court. Focused on, my performance, wretched and poor. It makes the message more real when I preach it. I’m not there yet so I’m reaching, reaching for a goal, to stand before my King and be speechless. Then, never again, will I question if his grace is sufficient to cover my sin. Cause death is gone, and all the effects of, evil and wrong will be conquered when His kingdom comes. So this is my hope and my prayer. The air that I’ll breath in eternity with lungs that never fail me. If it pleases my Lord, and only by Your grace, use my life till it’s poured out for Your sake. Until then I’ll remain where You have me, with joy when I feel unhappy. And a peace that surpasses all my understanding, my life is in the hands of Your love everlasting.

I Need You To Save Me Now

An incredible song for this post. I've had this one on repeat. Words won't do it justice, so just check it out. Clarenau's link is on the let side of the page if you want to look into the band. Also some of their music on Noisetrade.

Where My Trust Is Without Borders

This is by far the song of the week, if not month for me. So good and definitely worth putting on repeat. Check out the bridge.... "Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders Let me walk upon the waters Wherever You would call me Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander And my faith will be made stronger In the presence of my Savior"

I Don't Need Your Grace, I Can Do This On My Own

I have added a new band to the list on the left. I have loved this band for a while and did not realize it wasn't on there. I got to see them live last night and loved it. They are a young band with one EP out and coming out with their first full length album under the Come & Live record label. I'm so stoked to see two awesome groups come together and produce such great music. This is by far my favorite song by them and speaks to the heart of their music and what they stand for. I loved getting to hear it live as well. Check out their song, Filthy Man below.

Dance With My Father

This may be the video of the year. Holy cow. This is the best vocals I've seen in a kid this age. Hands down. I hope this kid goes big. Enjoy this cover of Dance With My Father by Aldrich Lloyd Talonding accompanied by James Walter.

Plumb- I Need You Now

So, I chose this video because, first of all, I love the song and always have. Secondly, her voice is incredible and is so good live. Check it out and share it.
