Worship Wednesday: Like An Avalanche

Posted by on May 8, 2013 | 0 comments

  Beautiful God laying Your majesty aside. You reached out in love to show me life. Lifted from darkness into light. Yes. This is my most recent I-can’t-stop-listening-to-it song. Like An Avalanche by Hillsong United. King for a slave, trading your righteousness for shame… despite all my PRIDE and FOOLISH WAYS. Caught in Your infinite embrace. Praise God. And I find myself here on my knees again, caught up in grace like an avalanche. Nothing compares to this love, love, love… burning in my heart. Each time I sing through this song, my heart literally feels an outpouring of God’s grace. It’s one of those songs that He uses in my...

Worship Wednesday: My Delight Is In You

Posted by on Apr 24, 2013 | 0 comments

Of all the incredible worship music that came from Passion 2013, this one may just be my favorite. I love Christy Nockels’ voice, and I also love it when songwriters combine new stuff with old stuff. My Delight Is In You w/ Refiner’s Fire is a song all about finding the peace God brings when we delight in Him, when we let Him refine us, when we ask Him to draw us close, when we choose to be holy and set apart. I’m thankful that at any given time, I can turn my delight to its rightful place and allow His love and refining fire to cleanse me and make me whole. Grateful for His purifying touch that is available to all who seek it. Humbled to be called as...

Worship Wednesday: Captivate Us

Posted by on Apr 17, 2013 | 0 comments

I’ve been captivated by a lot lately. Mostly by me. Drawing my attention lately have been things and people that, yet again, I allow to try to fill that hole… the hole that can only be filled by the One who deserves our captivation. I’ve been doing a lot FOR God. Being captivated by things FOR Him. We can get so caught up in trying to do what it takes to draw others to Him that we forget how much we need to draw to Him ourselves. I love Pandora. It brings me songs I’ve never heard. And as normally happens when I run, God gave me a song today. He showed me what He wants from me. He showed me in a new way what true worship should look like. (I...

Worship Wednesday: Lord I Need You

Posted by on Mar 20, 2013 | 1 comment

I haven’t been writing lately… and it’s really hit me that writing is how I process life and how I pour out my soul. Writing is healing and fulfilling for me. That being said, hopefully you will begin seeing more posts here again. It’s definitely been a while since we’ve had a Worship Wednesday, so today seemed like a good day to start back. The past few weeks have been an incredible mix of emotions in my life and in the lives of others around me. This song, Lord I Need You, has been a constant reminder of how much we need Jesus in the struggles in this life. Hope it speaks to you the way it has been speaking to me… every day for the...

Worship Wednesday: Songs of Comfort

Posted by on Dec 19, 2012 | 0 comments

There are days when the only thing that can comfort my heart is a God-placed song. I believe He orchestrates all things, and I believe He gave a few songwriters some exact words… at this exact time in history… knowing the pain that would be happening in the world. Today, I want to share two of these songs, knowing they can’t take away the pain that many people are feeling, but knowing that they may help bring a little comfort… a little hope… a little strength.

Worship Wednesday: Close to You

Posted by on Sep 26, 2012 | 1 comment

  Since Highlands Worship’s new CD was released, it is basically all I listen to. So today, I’m sharing another song that is quickly becoming one of my favorite private worship songs… It’s called Close to You. A very simple, repetitive song, but one with a very profound message. One of the debates in the worship wars is repetition in modern worship songs versus the depth of hymns. I have a lot of thoughts on this topic, but just to share a bit of my heart, here is my answer to anyone who asks me about this: Even if a song repeats lyrics 100 times, if you REALLY get the meaning and it changes your life, wouldn’t you call that a form of...
