Winter Snow

December 24, 2010 in Faith, Music, Worship with 3 Comments

Winter Snow by Audrey Assad has quickly become one of my favorite songs.  The melody is so intimate and the lyric paints a beautiful picture of a Savior whose very entrance into the earth wasn’t forceful, regal or grand, but rather graceful… blanketing… covering.

Could’ve come like a mighty storm
with all the strength of a hurricane
You could’ve come like a forrest fire
with the power of heaven in your flame
But you came like a winter snow
quiet and soft and slow
Falling from the sky in the night
to the earth below
Could’ve swept in like a tidal wave
or an ocean to ravish our hearts
You could have come through like a roaring flood
to wipe away the things we’ve scarred
No, your voice wasn’t in a bush burning
No, your voice wasn’t in a rushing wind
It was still, it was small, it was hidden

Winter Snow is available on Chris Tomlin’s excellent Christmas album, Glory In The Highest: Christmas Songs Of Worship.

All The Poor & Powerless

September 29, 2010 in Music, Worship with 10 Comments

I just got hipped to Sons & Daughters by my boy Brewster. Their song “All The Poor & Powerless” is stunning. Word has it their performance of “All The Poor & Powerless” was one of the many highlights of last week’s Story 2010 Conference in Chicago, hosted by visionary Ben Arment.

Sons & Daughters - All The Poor & Powerless
All the poor and powerless, and all the lost and lonely
And all the theives will come confess, and know that You are holy
And all the hearts that are content, and all that feel unworthy
And all who hurt with nothing left, will know that You are holy

Here’s a dope video with a different, more stripped-down version of the song, sans the rhythm track and choir. Amazing.

You can download “All The Poor & Powerless” for free here, and follow Sons & Daughters on Twitter here.

Israel Houghton “Love God. Love People.” Giveaway

August 23, 2010 in Music, Worship with 19 Comments

“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” – Matthew 28:36-40

It is around this core Biblical theme where Israel Houghton chose to center the heart of his new album, “Love God. Love People.”  Israel is no stranger to pushing the musical envelope and creating a virtual stylistic melting pot and the new album, recorded at London’s famed Abbey Road Studios, is bursting at the seams with fresh sounds and expressions, all the while never straying too far from the signature Israel Houghton sound.

Songs like “Yahweh (The Lifter)” and the first single “You Hold My World” could easily be adopted by church worship teams while the title track and Israel’s take on Chris Tomlin’s “Our God” bring new sounds into the mix, and the result is quite remarkable.

My favorite song is probably “Surprises”, which features a guest vocal from Fred Hammond. I love the lyrical concept, the production and the way the song progresses and develops, ending much different than it began. It’s quite dope, actually.

Here’s a little taste of what you can expect from the album:

“Love God. Love People.” does not release until August 31, but the good people at Integrity Music are giving 5 AnIdolHeart.com readers an opportunity to WIN IT BEFORE YOU CAN BUY IT! Pretty awesome, eh?  Who loves ya, baby?!?! :)

There are 2 ways to enter!

1. Leave a comment below with what your favorite worship song is right now.
2. Twitter a link to this post. You can do so automatically by clicking here!

This giveaway will only go until 10:00am CT Tuesday, August 24.  At that time, I will randomly select 5 entries from all the comments and tweets and those 5 people will each receive a copy of Israel Houghton’s “Love God. Love People.” before it is even available in stores, courtesy of Integrity Music!

Red Light, Green Light, GO!
