This song ROCKS. It especially rocks to play. It especially rocks a lot to play with a full band. We’ve used this song a few times in our services. Casting Crowns has proved to be a game changer in Christian music. There songs are well delivered and usually carry a challenging message. Well done, Casting Crowns! It’s always a challenge to ‘bring it’ in a song like this when trying to pull it off on an acoustic guita...

This song is one of hundreds that have come out of Hillsong Church’s worship universe. I first became familiar with Laura Story’s version of the song. Though the original is rock heavy, Laura Story’s version is in her typical melodic piano style. We use her version in our services with some elements of Hillsong’s heavier guitar driven version sprinkled in. For my acoustic arrangement, I tried to incorporate some of Lau...

This song is an oldie but a goodie. I was introduced to Audio Adrenaline in my early high school years with their “Don’t Censor Me” album, which, in my opinion, is one of the best Christian albums ever made. Audio A actually came to my high school and did a show with Newsboys! This was obviously before they were both superstar Christian bands. A few albums into their career, Hands and Feet hit the scene. We have used this i...

Good old Chris Tomlin. I originally avoided this song to introduce to our congregation because it was kind of in a hard key to sing. However, I’ve found that Chris Tomlin writes music that is actually quite singable for most. I happen to have a higher voice, but not quite to the extent of Chris. I can usually manage to get most of his vocals down. This is a song currently on rotation at our gatherings. Sing Sing Sing Chris Tomlin | D...

Wow. To me, this song stands out among many we hear in mainstream Christian music. I recall this song being on Christian radio for just a short span of time. I came across it again while searching for a song that matched the certain topic of our Sunday morning sermon. Every time I listen to it, I feel compelled to adopt it as my own personal life-theme song. I have not come across a song that better encapsulates the Christian life – bo...

I’m not positive, but I believe I was among the first to ever hear this upgraded version of It Is Well. I was at the Drive Conference at North Point Community Church in Alpharetta, Georgia. Todd Fields, who is on staff at North Point, shared a song he had just finished up. The song was great but after getting home there was no looking it up for a download. It wasn’t out yet! A few months later, I received an email with a free download...

This song is probably not one many people are familiar with.  It’s from Matt Redman and one we’ve used in our worship services for special occasions.  Matt Redman definitely brings a different creative and cultural angle to Christian music. Take It To The Streets Matt Redman I am not a stranger to mercy, for you found me, Wrapped your truth around me. I am not a stranger to grace I have seen it in Your face. I am not a stranger t...

Who Am I Casting Crowns Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth Would care to know my name Would care to feel my hurt Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star Would choose to light the way For my ever wandering heart Not because of who I am But because of what You’ve done Not because of what I’ve done But because of who You are I am a flower quickly fading Here today and gone tomorrow A wave tossed in the ocean Vapor in the wind ...

I’ve been a fan of Rebecca St. James since her 2nd album came out. She sort of had an Amy Grant kind of start as a young girl. She has proven to be a great asset to the Christian music scene – putting out edgy, yet original music. We have used this song on occasion to open up our services on Sundays. Song Of Love Jeremy Ash | Matt Bronleewe | Rebecca St. James Jesus King of my heart Father my peace and my light Spirit the joy of my ...

This is a song that is always very fun to play. Though it’s a bit older, our worship team has played it on occasion to open up our worship services. Live Out Loud Geoff Moore | Steven Curtis Chapman Imagine this I get a phone call from Regis He says do you want to be a millionaire They put me on the show And I win with two lifelines to spare Now picture this I act like nothing ever happened And bury all the money in a coffee can Well I...
