I Discovered Some New Music

February 17, 2010 in Faith, Music with 0 Comments

Here is some music that lately I discovered and I really enjoy. I’ve highlighted some lyrics that stand out and have linked back to the iTunes store if you’d like to preview or purchase. I’ve discovered them various ways – worship at church, Twitter, Oasis House of Prayer in Michigan and friends. Each one seems to speak to me right now in my life – some bringing comfort and others making me think. Any thoughts? Feel free to share in the comments.

Carlos Whittaker – Rain It Down

Rain down on us.
Father, Rain down on us.
Spirit, Rain down on us.
Jesus, Rain down on us.

Carlos Whittaker – Jesus Saves

Your innocence has covered my shame. Your love has spoken me by name. And I have victory over the grave. You overcame. Jesus Saves…

Carlos Whittaker – We Will Worship You

Save us from these conflicts. Break us of our need of the familiar. Spare us any joy that’s not of you. And we will worship you.

Cory Asbury – Jesus, Let Me See Your Eyes

I was made for, I was made for love… Jesus, let me see Your eyes; let me feel your embrace, let me feel you all around me.

Cory Asbury (feat. Jaye Thomas) – My Beloved

He stands alone… He’s coming to rule, coming to reign. Jesus, Jesus!

Dean Salyn – He Is Yahweh

Who is He who makes me happy? Who is He that gives me peace? Who is He that brings me comfort and turns the bitter into sweet? Who is stirring up my passion? Who is rising up in me? Who is filling up my hunger with everything I need? Creator God – He Is Yahweh…


Misty Edwards – Favorite One

Jesus, here I am Your favorite one. What are you thinking? What are you feeling? I have to know. For I am after Your heart… I’m after You.

David Crowder Band – All Around Me (Originally by Flyleaf)

Take my hand I give it to you. Now you own me, all I am. You said you would never leave me. I believe you. I believe

Chris Quailala – Your Love Never Fails

I know I still make mistakes but You have new mercies for me every day. Your love never fails.

Matt Redman – The Glory of Our King

The Church is waking up now to be Your hands and feet upon this earth. Send us in Your power as we take Heaven to a broken world.

Night,

What’s the Buzz All About?

February 15, 2010 in Technology with 0 Comments

Well, if you haven’t noticed, Google has decided to throw its hat in the Social Networking ring by introducing Buzz by Google. If you have a GMail account you should now have it active and you should check it out.

I’ve connected all my other accounts that are available to integrate with Google Buzz and I have mixed feelings. I view this more as “closed” social networking unlike Twitter which I would call an “open” approach to Social Networking.

Right now on Twitter I interact with people all over the world that I’ve never met in person. I talk to pastors that I’ve never met but read their books, I talk to news personnel and I even have used Twitter to contact Microsoft directly and got results! I don’t have ANY of these people and companies GMail information (if they even have a Google account) and thus would never be able to reach them without Twitter.

Buzz might be cool for the more close circle of your friends but then again wasn’t Wave supposed to be some way to share media in a more “communal” way and I think we can all see how that went over (Does anyone even still use their Wave account? I don’t…).

What do you think about Google Buzz? Have you checked it out yet? If not, here is the link - http://buzz.google.com.

Night all,
