I am really enjoying some good music lately, especially on the topic that is on our minds because of the special days marked on our calendars. Our household has been VERY VERY busy lately; sometimes we are running to and fro, “So much to do!” And the place is so messy, so unorganized, due to weeks and weeks of being terribly, dreadfully busy! You’ve no idea what we have to do! (Thank you, VeggieTales) Yet when the day draws to a close, at least this is the case for me, I finally have a little bit of quiet time, and then I remember that I do not live every day in fear anymore. So yes, I am busy with things that might not seem like “kingdom work,” but it is the work God has given me to do at this moment for some reason. I want to do my best for Him who saved me; I want to do my best and grow in wisdom, stature
and favor with God and men. That’s what Jesus did for the majority of His lifetime. Isn’t it so amazing? God’s Word made flesh, doing ordinary stuff, coming in the form of the very least, delighting to do the will of God. Yet He lived to die for me! Amazing!
Wow, I honestly didn’t mean for this to be much of a word post at all! Hope y’all enjoy this music; I certainly have!
Let’s start off with “Worthy is the Lamb” from Hillsong. I don’t know about you, but I can’t seem to get enough of this!
“When I Survey the Wondrous Cross.” At first I thought this might be the Second Chapter of Acts. Then I started having second thoughts… Could it be the Gaither Vocal Band? Whatever it is, it’s a great song and it sounds incredible!
And finally, a special arrangement of the classic hymn, “Amazing Grace.” Hillsong does this one in three parts; the first one somehow sounds familiar, but I can’t put my finger on it. The second is a traditional version, performed by their choir and orchestra! Wait for the third one! It’s the best, and a special guest shows up! I find it so neat that this old hymn has just never grown old! Every generation of Christians sings it, and in so many different ways, but it retains it familiarity, its freshness.
Hope you benefited! And a little sidenote; I am SO sorry that I accidentally posted the wrong song yesterday! Actually, I don’t even know what I did wrong! I think there was something wrong with their embed code. All I know is I checked on my site, and noticed that the wrong video was posted, so I hit play, and said to myself, “Hey, I don’t even know what this song is! How did that happen?” It’s fixed now, so if you were as confused as I was, no, it wasn’t a late April fool’s joke.
(That refers to my remark, “Get your tissue ready.”) Hee. Happy Sunday!
