Christmas Favorite

I thought I'd share my favorite Christmas album with you. That is my favorite album after the mix CD I recieved this year (shout out!).
Several years back I picked up Your King Has Come, a compilation including Derek Webb, Sandra McCraken, Matthew Smith, Andrew Osenga, Jill Philips and others.
You can actually listen to some by clicking HERE.
I have to play and listen to it beginning to end several times throughout the holidays.
There is a version of O Come All Ye Faithful by Mandy Ihrig (now Mann) that continues to reign towards the top of my list of favorite Christmas songs recorded ever.

Partnership

By way of Aaron Chambers' blog. I met Aaron several years back when I was interning for CIY and have always loved his teaching and preaching.

Kingdom Come

This is partly why I dispise musicians.
Shaun Groves posted the following video on his blog today. He's calling it a draft. I think it's amazing already...print it. I wish I had any musical talent.
Here's the video and lyrics below. Visit his site and offer any suggestions to the song if you have any.


Kingdom Come (First Draft in C)
Words & Music by Shaun Groves

Verse 1:
Oh, God what do we see and hear
Your kingdom coming
Oh, God why do we bleed and fear
Your kingdom coming

Let it come in us
Let it come through us-

Chorus:
‘Til the sword is spared
And the bread is shared
‘Til the dying’s done
Let your kingdom come
‘Til the rich ones give
And the poor ones live
‘Til the weak are strong
Let your kingdom come

Verse 2:
Oh, God what do we pray down here
Your kingdom coming
Oh, God why do we slave through tears
Your kingdom coming

Let it come in us
Let it come through us-

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
Your mercy come
Your justice come
Your will be done through us on earth
Your healing come
Your peace will come
Your will be done through us on earth

(Repeat 1/2 Verse 2)

(Repeat Chorus)
