Even When it Hurts-Hillsong

Even When it Hurts is a praise Song – not exactly in the new-traditional happy-clappy-Sunday-morning sense — no, this is the kind written to sound its loudest in the cold-lonely-silence of the darkest night, or the heart-drenched-desperation of the heaviest of tears. It's a song that finds it’s voice in the moments and seasons where to all common sense and logic, to sing, and be thankful for anything at all, let alone sing a song of praise to God, makes no sense at all - when the fight seems lost and all strength gone with it - when it's hard to even find the words -- louder then, this is that kind of praise song.

Oh Jesus-Jon McLaughlin

There is something so raw about this song. I almost feel as if I'm eavesdropping on Jon while he prays. This tender melody is like a cool healing balm for my scorched heart. How songwriters are able of taking the deepest longings and feelings of their heart, then put them into song, beautiful soul stirring songs, is too much for me to wrap my mind around. Thank you Jon, for your transparency and for putting words to questions that must be in the hearts of so many others.

{A Month of Hymns} Great is thy Faithfulness

Thank you Lord, for being faithful, when I, a wandering sheep, didn't even notice your presence.

In the precious name of your son, Jesus, Amen.

Multiplied-NEEDTOBREATHE

Y'all it was like being in heaven. Singing this song with a huge crowd of people in the Knoxville Coliseum was one of the most intense worship experiences I have ever had.
