Sure, its all my fault you can’t do it with two keyboards.

I can’t remember who around the office always complains about us not having songs picked further ahead. Oh wait, it’s ME! Haha. (Yes I know its not your fault.)

Well, regardless, I’m sorry I’ll miss the debut at SSCC this weekend. I’m sure I’ll have more opportunities.

Fred,

Glad to hear you guys are doing this song. I had my wife do it after getting back from the conference. She loved the song, and it was a great moment. My favorite part is coming out of the bridge when the music stops and the vocal rings out before the music crashes back in. Awesome!

Yes, great song. I heard it on Worshiptogether.com and started using in our church a few weeks ago. Fred, I just heard the roundtable about “manly worship” at AllAboutWorship.com Very educational. So many great things going on that really benefit those of us out in the rural trenches. Thanks !!

This whole record is solid. That song is great… I’m also a big fan of “You Are Able”.

Fred, It is a great song!!It’s #7 on Praise Charts User Request Forum, so maybe they’ll come out with an orchestration for those string parts. But, if you get it done first, I’d be interested in it as well.

Fred, A Might Fortress is our God is an old reformation hymn. I’ve been singing the original for years, and even more recently rewrote it for worship. The lyrics are truly theology on fire!

Hey Fred – if you get the click done, will you share? Or sell?

I saw this in your twitter feed and thought “Please oh please let this be about Christy Nockels.”

Fred, she has some REAL gems in that album. A number of songs that are very fitting for corporate worship. I’m glad you plucked that one up!
