My son listening to music for the first time ever.
“Amazing Grace” by John Newton (Sandra McCracken’s version)
Audio from New Old Hymns
Was just brought to tears at the end of this sermon, “Does God Control Everything?” by Tim Keller.
High Street Hymns - Angels We Have Heard On High
Best version I’ve ever heard.
McNuggets
- Student: (To Class) DON'T EAT CHICKEN MCNUGGETS! YOU'LL DIE!
- Me: SHE'S A WITCH!!!!!
Fleet Foxes - The Shrine / An Argument
One of the most mesmerizing videos I have ever seen. PERFECT color.
Ghost Ship - “Poison Tree”
Mars Hill Church Downtown Seattle band, Ghost Ship, put out a new record today. Only four songs, but man, they weigh a ton. The best track is the last on the record called “Poison Tree.” Does a great job of providing images for ones own sin. A great song to sing for confession and to remember our initial cry for forgiveness in the name of Christ.
This tree bears strange fruit
Blood on the leaves, it’s dead at the roots
The cracked grey branches are decaying within
Just like the black poison that hangs from it’s limbs
Come and dig me up, reach down to the roots
Rip the deadness out, and plant something new
I am alive, I will abide
In the life giving blood of Christ
I tried to tie good fruit
To a tree that had poison all the way through
It rotted and fell off, it was dead at the core
It even killed the ground, I was worse than before
I am alive, I will abide
In the life giving blood of Christ
I’m grafted in, You’ve killed my sin
Now I can live, I’ll live in him
Come and dig me up, reach down to the roots
Rip the deadness out.
