Hey Gang,

Monday I posted on our “Worship Confessional” video that we’d introduced the new song by Chris Tomlin, Nathan and Christy Nockels & Company from the Passion 2011 CD, “All My Fountains”.

Although I wasn’t there for the live recording of Passion 2011, I was present at the “Lift” event last month and experienced this song for the first time and loved it.

Our debut of this song at SSCC was extremely well-received.  I’d like to share the click-track and loop that I made for this song with you.  Enjoy!

Disclaimer:  Yeah, this is a ROUGH recording.  (There, I said it).

Yesterday I had the privilege of sharing a song that I wrote with Mandy Thompson called “You Save”.  It’s the 3rd time we’ve done this song at SSCC and it’s received an incredible response each time, which is humbling.

Below is a video of the song as performed at our church yesterday (Sunday, Feb 20th, 2011).  I cringe every time I hear myself and part of me would NEVER release something this “raw” that hasn’t been mixed or edited.  “It always sounds better in the room”, right?

I’m not trying to impress anyone so I don’t mind sharing it with all it’s rawness.  I actually stumbled on the words several times.  I’m sharing this because so many have asked for it, so here ya go!  If you’d like to do this song in your church, go for it.  It’s registered with CCLI.

You Save

Verse 1
Darkness famine trials temptations
Sorrow anger lies frustrations
Where O where are You God
I feel a million miles away yet I know You are near
Are You listening do You even hear
Where O where are You God

Chorus 1
Where O where does my help come from
I cry out into the night

Verse 2
Lusts of the flesh and the greed in my heart
Selfish desires to be set apart
Where O where are You God
Has my sin hidden me for all eternity
Will You rescue will You still help me
Where O where are You God

(BRIDGE)
Your arm is not too short to save
Your reach goes deeper than the grave
When I am crying to You
You save You save
My help comes from the Lord above
Maker of Heaven and of earth
Your watching over me and run
To save to save
To save to save
You save You save

Hey Everybody,

I’d like to invite you to checkout a new song recently added to the growing catalog of music from Highest Praise Productions.  This is the current “Featured Song” over at TheWorshipCommunity.Com for the next few weeks.

The song is called “Greatly To Be Praised”.  It’s one of those anthems that start slowly and quietly but by the time you get to the Bridge you are throwing your hands in the air singing at the top of your lungs!

I have the privilege of meeting Mike Kim (the author) in May at the AllAboutWorship retreat.  We’ve ministered together since then at the Forge Conference and I really felt a kindred spirit with this guy.

This is a song you can use in your church or personal worship – hope it ministers to you!
