Sunday Songs: Steal My Show by TobyMac

Some songs strike a chord with me on the first note. This is one of those songs. Honestly, I was hooked even before I heard that first note. The title caught me when the DJ announced it. I cranked it up to hear the words, and I still crank it up every time it comes on (which is not nearly often enough, IMHO).

I've been pondering the name of God lately. I Am.

This song ponders it along with me.

The words speak of doubt, fear, and shame. Then they remind me that my God, I AM, is big enough and strong enough to reach me wherever I may be and to mold me and make me into whatever He wants me to be. The reminder is hitting home with me lately.

I hope you enjoy the song. Read the words and listen to them. See if they don't touch your heart today.

Sunday Songs: Beautiful You by Trent Monk

The Cover:

As far as I can tell, this one is just a single, not an album.

The Song:

I couldn't find a video that would cooperate, so here's the link. 

Andrea's Take

Today's offering makes me want to drive down a sun-dappled country road with the top down, hands raised to the sky in praise to my Beautiful God. 

(I don't have a convertible, but that's a minor detail. Right?)

It has a mellow and relaxing melody I just can't resist.

To my friends who prefer a more traditional sound: 

Give this one a listen and see if it doesn't just make you happy.

Sunday Songs: Hand in Hand With Jesus

My husband and I recently sustained a terrible shock following the sudden, violent suicide of a dear friend and mentor who once served God with rarely equaled fervor. I felt shaken and wounded, asking God, How can such a thing happen...to him of all people? And if it happened to him, once so strong and sure, could it happen to me?

God placed this song in my mind. It stayed with me for days, a constant reminder of His unfailing love. The gentle melody belies the awesome power of that Hand to protect me from an enemy who will stop at nothing to defeat me, and whom I am powerless to resist on my own.

I looked at a few performances before stumbling upon this one by the Cathedral Quartet.

This is a departure from my usual selections of Contemporary Christian songs. I hope you'll enjoy the harmony of this performance. Mostly listen to the words (I particularly like the last two lines of the chorus).
