scripture memory, music No Comments »

Every once in a while I do a search on Rhapsody for “Scripture Memory” in hopes that there is some non-lame scripture memory music. Usually the search returns very little but last week the search turned up an album by Rick Altizer called Scripture Memory — Pop Symphonies.  This is good stuff. Well crafted songs which have hints of George Harrison-esqe guitar licks and Vocals which subtly resemble the greatness of Elvis Costello.  I love this album.  It’s a great thing to get a song suck in your head and realize that its actually God’s word.

This week it’s all about music. I’ve really been enjoying many of the bands that contribute to the Mars Hill Worship. Check out some of the outstanding ear candy below:

Emphasis

With Broken Heart and Contrite Sigh

Sound of Atone

Beatitudes

Psalm25

Destructor (my fav)

I’ve started a “Now Listening To” category or you can check out the Streampad player on the sidebar.

What I’m listening to

music No Comments »


Half Handed Cloud (all albums)
Rhaplink
I can’t get enough of this stuff. The mix of quirky music and instruments and very strong Biblical illusions keeps me engrossed in each short song.

Rev. Gary Davis
Rhaplink
I love fingerpickin’ blues. It’s great stuff for the soul (even better to play). Rev. Gary Davis has been one of my favorites for a long time and his influence on the blues scene has been felt far and wide.

The Postal Service - Give Up
Rhaplink
I’ve been listening to this album for years. It’s become my defacto I-need-to-get-into-a-zone-to-get-some-work-done album. It’s a great mix of electronic and emo.

Asleep In The Light by Keith Green

music 1 Comment »

if you use yahoo check this out. if you dont have yahoo music engine, at least read the lyrics for cryin’ out loud:

Do you see, do you see
All the people sinking down
Dont you care, dont you care
Are you gonna let them drown 

How can you be do numb
Not to care if they come
You close your eyes
And pretend the jobs done

Oh bless me lord, bless me lord
You know its all I ever hear
No one aches, no one hurts
No one even sheds one tear

But he cries, he weeps, he bleeds
And he cares for you needs
And you just lay back
And keep soaking it in
Oh cant you see its such a sin

cause he brings people to you door
And you turn them away
As you smile and say
God bless you, be at peace
And all heaven just weeps
cause jesus came to you door
Youve left him out on the streets

Open up open up
And give yourself away
You see the need, you hear the cries
So how can you delay

Gods calling and youre the one
But like jonah you run
Hes told you to speak
But you keep holding it in
Of cant you see its such a sin

The world is sleeping in the dark
That the church just cant fight
cause its asleep in the light
How can you be so dead
When youve been so well fed
Jesus rose from the grave
And you, you cant even get out of bed

Oh, jesus rose from the dead
Come on get out of your bed

How can you be so numb
Not to care if they come
You close your eyes
And pretend the jobs done
You close your eyes
And pretend the jobs done

Dont close your eyes
Dont pretend the jobs done
Come away, come away, come away with me my love
Come away, come away, come away with me my love
