Laura Story - Remember

From Laura's amazing album "Blessings" this is a beautiful communion song called "Remember". "Remembering" is one of the reasons that we regularly celebrate communion. As if we need to be reminded to the great sacrifice that Jesus made for us. But it's binding for the church to remember that sacrifice corporately. Laura composed this song.

Christy Nockels - Choose

A song of devotion and submission and praise to our Lord. The important word, of course, is "choose". We have to make a choice to follow God, it doesn't just happen automatically. We have to step out and confess that we are nothing without Him, and then all of the things He has promised will follow.

Keith & Kristyn Getty - By Faith

A song of faith written by Keith & Kristyn Getty originally from Ireland, with a little help from their good buddy Stuart Townend. Take a look at Hebrews 11 (the faith chapter) before you watch this, just to get you in the right spirit (if you aren't already). From the wonderful album "Awaken The Dawn"; one of those few albums where every song is a winner.

Christy Nockels - Breath Of God

An unabashed song of praise and worship to our Lord and Savior. Sung by Christy Nockels, written by Jeff & Gayla Borders and Paul Field.

Third Day - Born Again

Sometimes people reach a phase of their life where they feel like they are "broken beyond repair". By nature we want to hold on to our past, but once we finally submit to God and are "born again" we never regret it.

Written by Third Day.

Sanctus Real - The Redeemer

No matter what we've been through, we have to continue to dream and continue to believe. We have our reward waiting for us in heaven. As Philippians 3:20 says, "But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ." Yes, Jesus Christ, our Savior, and our Redeemer. That's what this wonderful song is all about.

Meredith Andrews - What It Means To Love

After studying and learning about Jesus and His ways we quickly understand how much He loved all of us. The sick, the lame, the outcast, the philanthropist, the disciple, the worshiper, etc. Everyone. He is the perfect example of love. And his greatest demonstration of love was at the cross. So "how could I go back to life as usual?" And after realizing the magnitude of His love, "I just want to take Your story to the world." What a wonderful song by Meredith.

Susan Ashton - Love Will Be Our Home

I love songs about home and family. This song was written by Steven Curtis Chapman, who has written a *lot* of songs about home and family. This version is performed by Susan Ashton.

Revive - Blink

Life goes by so fast, in the blink of an eye it seems. This song tells us to slow down and make the most of every moment. Always ask ourselves "what have I done with my life?", or more importantly "what will I do with the rest of my life?". The first question leads to the second one.

Keith & Kristyn Getty - Behold The Lamb (Communion Hymn)

An achingly beautiful song by Keith & Kristyn Getty from their wonderful album "Awaken The Dawn", one of the best albums I have heard in a long time. They co-wrote the song along with their buddy Stuart Townend. Jesus, the Lamb of God, who came to take away our sin.

Joy Williams - Better Than I

Sometimes we try to take decisions into our own hands, even though Proverbs 3:5 admonishes us not to do that - "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding." The fact is that He knows "better than I". God tells us that in Isaiah 55:9 - "...my thoughts and my ways are higher than yours..." Well, duh! Why do we have so much trouble understanding that? So when we have decisions to make the very first thing we need to do is pray for guidance. But a couple of problems arise. First, we get impatient, because God has His own perfect timing and wants us to wait, and we usually don't and then we "lean on our own understanding." Secondly, sometimes He gives us the answer but we're not listening and we miss it, and we "lean on our own understanding." So, the solution is: pray, wait, listen.
He knows "better than I".

Kristen Chenoweth - Because He Lives

A classic gospel song written by Bill & Gloria Gaither and sung by Kristin Chenoweth. "And life is worth the living just because He lives". Yes, indeed!

Meredith Andrews - In Your Arms (w/Jared Anderson)

A beautiful and brilliant song written and performed by Meredith Andrews and Jared Anderson (Jared, of Desperation Band and New Life Worship fame). I love the first two verses in particular, especially the very first line "I'm turning the world off, embracing the silence". You have to be careful there; it doesn't mean that we should ignore the world altogether. The Great Commission says otherwise, that we are to reach out. I think it's saying that we should ignore the aspects of the world that might bring us down. And that's what Romans 12:2 says - "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect."

This song is from Meredith's album "As Long As It Takes", which won the Dove Award for the Worship Album Of The Year. An outstanding album, which I highly recommend.

Carrie Underwood - There's A Place For Us (Chronicles of Narnia)

From the movie "Chronicles of Narnia". The movie has many Christian sentiments. The song reminds us that God made each of us uniquely, and that He has a unique plan for each and every one of us (Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you...plans to give you hope and a future.") I am also reminded of the words of Jesus shortly before His death (John 14:2 - "...I go to prepare a place for you..."). Yes, there is a place for us, for those who believe. What a comfort that is. Thank You, Lord.

Carrie Underwood - I'll Stand By You

I chose to interpret this as a Christian song, where I represents Jesus. I know I'll catch a lot of flak for that, but so be it. It's called artistic license. If anyone else wants to interpret it differently, fine, make your own video. Anyway, regardless of what this song is really about, the fact is that, yes, Jesus *will* stand by us, no matter what. He promised us that. In fact, his last words on this earth (until He returns) were in Matthew 28:20 - I am with you always, even to the end of the age. (BTW, the title slide says this song is from the movie "Lion King", but I think I am mistaken there. Sorry.)

Carrie Underwood - So Small

Sometimes life gets messy and complicated. But often it's a case of making a mountain out of a molehill. That's what this song is about. We need to keep leaning on our faith and in the end God will bring a happy ending. He has a reason for everything that happens in our lives. Romans 8:28 says "...in all things God works for the good of those who love him..." Thank you, Lord.

Written by Carrie Underwood, Hillary Lindsey, and Luke Laird

Keith Kristyn Getty - What Grace Is Mine

Everyone knows the song "Danny Boy", which is really a tune called "Londonderry Air". Many songs have been written using this same tune. Here is another one, written by Kristyn Getty, called "What Grace Is Mine". Arrangement by Rob Mathes. It's a song about God's wonderful grace and mercy. And about how we should respond to that wonderful gift. By the way, this song is from the fantastic album "Awaken The Dawn". Every song on the album is as good as this one. I highly recommend it.
