How Many Kings...

I just recently heard this song for the first time (even though it's been out for over 3 years), and I literally had to pull over on the side of the road to truly absorb the meaning of these lyrics. Once again, I am in awe of my GOD, who would do all this for me....

Lyrics to How Many Kings by Downhere

Follow the star to a place unexpected

Would you believe, after all we've projected,


A child in a manger?


Lowly and small, the weakest of all


Unlikeliest hero, wrapped in his mother's shawl -


Just a child -


Is this who we've waited for? 'cause...



How many kings step down from their thrones?


How many lords have abandoned their homes?


How many greats have become the least for me?


And how many gods have poured out their hearts


To romance a world that is torn all apart


How many fathers gave up their sons for me?



Bringing our gifts for the newborn Savior


All that we have, whether costly or meek


Because we believe.


Gold for his honor, and frankincense for his pleasure


And myrrh for the cross he will suffer


Do you believe?


Is this who we've waited for?



All for me...


All for you...

Church Music

My long-awaited copy of David Crowder* Band's new album, Church Music, is finally in my hands and flowing into my ears. Well worth the wait, the album is chock-full of tunes rich with amazingly fresh sound and incredible lyrics, although I expect nothing less from Crowder. I can't stop listening, and I can't even pick out a favorite song yet!

Here are the lyrics to "Shadows"

Life is full of light and shadow
O the joy and O the sorrow
O the sorrow

And yet will He bring
Dark to light
And yet will He bring
Day from night

When shadows fall on us
We will not fear
We will remember

When darkness falls on us
We will not fear
We will remember

When all seems lost
When we're thrown and we're tossed
We remember the cost
We rest in Him
Shadow of the cross
