Special

Sunday, August 5th, 2007

My cousin Taniya (I hope I spelled that right) sang a special in church tonight. It was excellent. I wish I had recorded it.

How deep the Father’s love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocing voice,
Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

Wow. Amazing song…

The Secret Place

Monday, July 30th, 2007

Sang this Sunday night in choir:

I found a secret place
Of comfort and release
A special place of healing
A quiet place of peace
And everyone who dwells there
Finds rest beneath God’s wings
In the shade of His pavilion
New strength He always brings.

Chorus:

I find hope, I find grace
Far away from the world’s embrace
He gives me rest, He keeps me safe
I find His strength I seek His face
In the secret place.

With every trial He brings
My Lord will make a way
To strengthen and protect me
To help me face each day.
He leads me through the valley
To draw me closer still
Knowing even in the shadows
I find His perfect will.

Short, legal sample available sometime soon – probably today.

Thanks, sister.

Melodies

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

You may have heard them live; you may not have, but this file includes:

  1. Plenty of laughs (by them and probably you) as you hear them practice.
  2. Color commentary by Bro. Ross
  3. A special appearance by Bro. Harding…

And probably more, but I can’t remember right now, and I’m not going to listen to it (it’s 0215; I just got home from YC).

better late than never…

better never late.

Mrs. Brownlee: I’m sorry if any of your previous comments didn’t make it through. I don’t know if you had any, but if you did, they didn’t make it through the spam filter. They should clear automatically now… I think. Just ask Timright?

Back to the music: I think this is what you asked for. If not, it’s definitely everyone else’s fault… so let me know if that will work. And you’re welcome.

Tim’s CD

Wednesday, December 21st, 2005

well, i got tim’s cd. (oh, you can order it if you wish…)

comments:
1. nice job on jingle bells.
2. sounds very professional considering you didn’t record in a studio.
3. not bad for $10.
4. you over charged by about $0.90 for shipping.
5. i let my voice teacher/choir director listen to it and he’ll probably be in touch with you soon (maybe…)

overall, definitely worth the $10. or $12. but not $18.

music and a new toy

Saturday, August 13th, 2005

well, i might get hung for this later, but i uploaded one song from one acapalla practice… it is, however, in two parts. we do mess up, and my bosses talk about it. it’s (currently) available here.

in other news, my mom’s laptop came in yesterday. i was only slightly jealous: it is lighter, it has (2) more usb ports (4 vs my 2), 10gb more hdd (40 vs my 30), built in wifi (i have a pcmcia card), and an internal sound card that works (mine died and it is no longer under warrenty, so i’m pretty much stuck w/an external one.) we both have firewire (oddly enough) and a 24x cdrw/dvdrom drive. on the other hand, i have a much better processor (intel 4-m 2.66/1.66 vs some intel celeron, maybe celeron-m around 1.3) and much better video (nvidia go 5200 vs some intel bit). so, there you have it.

and to round it out, extremetech writes about building your own render farm… i sooo wish… but it won’t happen any time soon, unless i, um, “borrow” all the computers in the guys study room in the dorm… that would be funny, but i don’t think any of them have 512mb ram, unless we have some ritzy freshmen coming in (dream on – i do have an 8 port network switch, but i only have 3 to 5 cat5 cables, depending on how many still work)

more: Blood-Washed Band

Friday, July 15th, 2005

also not found online, and a possible 9th and 10th song

#9: Blood Washed Band

We’re a band of Christian soldiers
Fighting Satan every day
We’re standing up for Jesus
While we’re kneeling down to pray
If his precious blood has cleansed you
And washed away your sin
That makes you a member
Of the blood-washed band

Praise God I’m a member
Of the blood-washed band
I’ve been washed
In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb
I was bound by the chains of sin
‘Til one day the Master came
And made me a member
Of the blood-washed band

God’s children are advancing
Marching till we reach that goal
For the battle’s almost over
And we’ll soon be going home
I can hear the sound of angels
As the saints go marching in
Singing praises to the Capitan
Of the blood washed band

#10: When the World Looks At Me

I want my life to be a light for those around me
I want my life to be that road map that says “home”
I want my life to be a beacon on life’s raging sea
I want the world to see Jesus when they look at me!

When the world looks at me, do they see Jesus?
When the world looks at me, what do they see?
Do they see hope, do they see love, do they see charity?
When the world looks at me, what do they see?

When I spoke, did my words contain His wisdom?
When I prayed, did my prayers contain His love?
Did my life reflect the glory of His Spirit?
Did I show the ones around me they were loved?
