Hopefully, over the next few days/weeks this blog will be getting a makeover. My thanks to all of you who visit this site. I pray that in spite of its author, it has been a blessing to you and has helped to make you a more biblical Minister of Music.
We’ve now made available DVD’s to the children’s drama that we did back in August! It is called “A Christian’s Journey” and may be purchased here.
This one looks more like a hyper-calvinist or fatalistic approach to witnessing to me…
Oh my goodness! I have loved George Winston’s music for many years on the now defunct label Windham Hill. I have also loved Michael Card’s music. His song “Song Of Gomer” will be one that Grace Life will hear as my pastor, Jeff Noblit, is preaching through Hosea. But could it be that they are one-and-the-same???? You take a look at the pics and decide.
Here’s my latest YouTube video. It’s a song I wrote called “Save Me From Myself”
Here are the lyrics:
Why do I behave like I don’t love You
Build idols above You
And enjoy lesser things
My amazement never ceases
As my world falls to pieces
In going my own way
Save me from myself
Save me from this earthly part of me
I am my own worst enemy
When I try to make it on my own
Save me from myself
Help me to embrace the cross You give
Help me to die so I might live
In fellowship with You
Why do I recoil when asked to suffer
Even search for a buffer
From the pain of this cross
Without Your grace Failure’s my companion
And begs me to abandon
This sinking ship I’ve made
To whom shall I go to whom shall I go
‘Cause Lord, You hold the words of life
To whom shall I go to whom shall I go
Lord Jesus, You are my Life

Well, my vacation is just about over….I’ll be back in the office tomorrow (Tuesday). I didn’t really go anywhere. Just worked around the house, barn, and pasture. Kind of reminds me of Andy Griffith’s idea of vacation: ”I think I’ll just sit around the house…do a little gardening…read the National Geographics…and just take it easy!” It was Bro. Jeff’s idea for me to take two weeks instead of one and I can really tell a difference.
I’m in the middle of a two-week vacation (in case you haven’t seen that on Twitter or Facebook). I’ll be back writing posts next week when I get back in the office. Keep checking back at this site to read more stuff about church music. Tell your friends about it, too! Thanks for checking in!
A few entries ago, I asked for your top five CDs/projects that you just can’t “live without”, so-to-speak. I also gave my word that I would share with you my top five.
Hopefully I won’t be prone to edit it so here it is:
1. Phil Keaggy—The Wind And The Wheat
2. Michael Card—The Word: Recapturing The Imagination
3. Steve Green—Hymns: A Portrait Of Christ
4. A Thankgiving Of American Folk Hymns
5. The Suntones: The Complete Collection
I just caught a mistake with this blog as to why your comments have not been posting. The email address that I’ve been using to moderate the comments has been deactivated by our IT guy at the church. I have just now corrected the problem so if you have tried to comment in the last couple of weeks and have not seen them, that’s why.
Hopefully, I’ve got the problem fixed so comment away!
