Songs We Sing (09.13.2009)

We occasionally get asked what this 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 and a few details. If you'd like to purchase the original song, I suggest using iTunes or Amazon's MP3 Store.

For the services of September 13, 2009, we sang:

Foreverandever, Etc.
Original Artist & written by: David Crowder Band. From their excellent album "A Collision." The DCB does a great job of this one live (complete with key-tar).

Beautiful One
Written by Tim Hughes. I love the line "my soul, my soul MUST sing." this is really a song about how nothing in this life can compare with the beauty and majesty of God.

Here Is Love
Hymn written by Robert S. Lowry, William Edwards and William Rees. From 1876. Arrangement by Ex Nihilo and Narrow Path. I love the line "Heaven's peace and perfect justice/Kissed a guilty world in love."

Blessed Assurance
Hymn written by Fanny Jane Crosby in 1873.

Whole World In His Hands
Written by Tim Hughes. Made most popular by Matt Redman on the album "Passion: How Great Is Our God, Live from Passion '05."

Here Is Our King
Original Artist & written by David Crowder Band. From the album "A Collision." (Must've been "A Collision" Sunday). I love the idea of God being rescuer and bringing "us back to Him."
