Songs We Sing (08.30.2009)

I thought I'd try a new feature (hopefully, a regular feature) here on the blog.

We occasionally get asked what this song was or that song was after services. So, I thought I'd provide a small service to CCJ'ers and the general lurkers out there. I'll list each song and give you the original artist and/or songwriter. If you'd like to purchase the original, I suggest using iTunes or Amazon's MP3 Store.

For the services of August 30, 2009, we sang:

In The Sweet By And By
Traditional hymn. Depending on your preference you can find this song recorded slow or fast - the way we play it. Dolly Parton has a nice, slow version out there.

The Hand That Holds The World
Artist: Starfield

All My Tears
Written by Julie Miller. The most famous recorded version is by Jars of Clay. Emmylou Harris has also recorded the song.

As The Deer
Written by Martin Nystrom. Recorded by a million different artists. This was a very popular worship song back when "contemporary" worship music started to take hold in churches in the 1980s.

You Never Let Go
Artist: Matt Redman

This Is Our God
Original song for CCJ. Written by Kurt Neighbors & Daniel Ross. No recorded version exists yet.
