Tongue&Pen - Likeness of a Peaceful City
I have a confession…every few months or so, I will spend hours on Noisetrade, listening to and then downloading music…
Somebody from Somewhere - Ella Fitzgerald
Hillsong United - Devotion
When You stand, the tall tress and mountains bow
When You speak, the fiercest of oceans is still
I was listening to Pandora this evening when this song came on. This gets me every single time. I must pause in awe of God.
Garden - Needtobreathe
Father, let my heart be after You.
Rend Collective Experiment - Homemade Worship by Handmade People (new album out in January!)
We are all handmade people, each one of us unique and important, crafted delicately by divine hands. Above all created things, God calls us a work of art. So Homemade Worship by Handmade People is a response to this magnifcent God whose hands that made worlds and stars also chose the pain of human scars.
What a beautiful glimpse into their heart! Rend Collective Experiment is one of my favorite new worship bands. There’s something about the variety of instruments they use (especially love the brass) and the art of it all that makes me feel like I’m getting a preview of what worship will be like in heaven. Check out Organic Family Hymnal if you haven’t already.

The Earth Stood Still - Future of Forestry
A teenage girl and her soon-to-be
A simple trip far as they could see
The sky was clear and the hour serene
But did they know what the night would bring
Lonely hearts strewn across the land
They’d been waiting long for a healing hand
My heart was there and it felt the chill
When Love came down and the earth stood still
Shepherds stood under starry skies
Tasting grace that would change their lives
Angels trembled and the demons did too
For they knew very well what pure grace would do
The hope of the world in a baby boy
Remember Him well like I was there that night
My heart was there and it felt the chill
When Love came down and the earth stood still
This is the type of Christmas music I enjoy.
The Frozen Ocean - Drawing Circles in the Sand
Grace for Me - Gungor
This jar of clay and all its weakness;
Somehow inside dwells Your fullness.
Even though I’m not yet flawless,
You are forming me.
Everything that I desire really may not meet my needs.
Help me to seek first Your kingdom.
You’ll provide for me.
Valleys come and tears aren’t dry yet and there are things I don’t yet see.
But I’ll rejoice despite of hardship; You’ll watch over me.
Jars of Clay - Redemption
We were looking out past the road we came from
Looking at redemption
It was hidden in the landscape
Of loss and love and fire and rain
Never would have come this way
Looking for redemption
One of my all-time favorites. Need this reminder after a long, discouraging Monday.
Ella Fitzgerald - You’re the Top
You’re the purple light of a summer night in Spain…
You’re the nimble tread of the feet of Fred Astaire…
We need more of this today.
Nick Drake - Which Will
Nick Drake and rainy evenings go together…some of my favorite things.
Ella Fitzgerald - Early Autumn
I put iTunes on shuffle and this came on first. I love Ella, especially on crisp autumn days like this one.
Neuman Pinto - Kahaani Khatam Hai Ya
A song about new beginnings.
