Million Miles by Josh Garrels
Feel the wind blow, through the window, I know,
that we’ll make it through
It’s a million miles from, where we begun, and I,
I still love youI remember, as clear as ever, the day,
when we first met
Lord you know I, l love to hold her eyes, in mine
everyday sinceEveryday and night
Together we will grow
Makin’ the most of a life
As we hold each other closeAs we grow old, may it be told, that we,
never lost our flame
If love’s a fire, then our desire, is to burn,
untamedEveryday and night
Together we will grow
Makin’ the most of a life
As we hold each other close

Music for you to enjoy… from my friend Adam Rey!
During sabbatical my wife and I got into an exercise routine… and one of the things I listened to while working out was this instrumental album from my guitarist friend Adam Rey. Adam and I used to work together on a church staff years back… (Hey Adam… do you remember us playing, “Stump the Guitarist?)… and he’s one of the most amazing guitarists I’ve ever met. This album has been a true joy to me, and benefit to my soul.
Anyway… I wanted to introduce you to Adam’s album – “Meat & Potatoes.” It is a very, very WIDE variety of musical styles… likely something to fit every taste. There’s blues, rock, jazz, even violins in some of the cuts! This guy is eclectic… and talented – and gives the glory for it to God! I have really, really, really enjoyed this album – and continue to do so. If you look carefully at the album art (which Adam created himself), you’ll pick up a bit of Adam’s creative sense of humor too… which I’ve always enjoyed!
Over the next week or so I’ll be posting some more cuts from his album for you to enjoy.

Rap that is FULL of Biblical theology! – FLAME – MOVE
I came across this video the other day… and my whole family LOVES it!
This guy is not only a good rapper (surrounded by some great dancers) – but he knows his BIBLE and what a consistent Christian life should look like!
In one video he hits ALL these topics:
- Disobedience to Christ based in selfishness
- The call to foreign missions
- Christians who live together instead of getting married
- Church membership
- The need to reconcile with others
- A husband’s responsibility to love his wife
- A wife’s responsibility to submit to her husband
- Jesus’ teaching, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments”
It’s WELL worth watching, even if you don’t like rap very much… ENJOY!
My new favorite Christian artist (for now) – Gutsy lyrics
This is a song from Matt Papa‘s album, “Your Kingdom Come” – pretty gutsy, reads like an Old Testament prophet…
Enjoy, or repent – whichever shoe fits…
WHERE IS THE DIFFERENCE
Hello, my bride, how are you doing?
It’s been a while cause You’ve been busy
Idols have turned your heart from me
Oh my hands and feet
My love, how can it be?
Body of Christ, more like a whore
You love this world and you call me Lord
I shed my blood for your sins
The ones you’re living in
When are you gonna repent?
Do you still love me
Yeah cause it don’t really show
Oh, where is your heart?
You say that you’re set apart
If you really love me
Where is the difference?
Light of the world, why aren’t you shining?
Salt of the earth, have you become tasteless?
Fragrance of Mine, in the world
But not of the world
No you’re not of this world
Oh, where is the light?
The hope you are hoarding inside
If you really love me
Where is the difference?
If you love me, keep my commands
If you follow me, deny yourself
If you love this world, then you don’t love me
If you are lukewarm, then you make me sick
If you don’t speak, how will they know?
If you don’t preach, how will they believe?
If you don’t go, how will they call my name?
Oh I long for them to call my name
But you gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go
Yeah it’s up to you now, it’s up to you
Oh my hands and feet yeah it’s up to you
The victory’s sure but I’ve chosen you now
So go into all the earth
Declaring the Father’s love
If you really love me
Why don’t you share it?
Where is the difference?
Where is the difference?
Music Review – New Worship Album – Emmaus
I want to encourage everyone to check out the first CD from a worship band from Lincoln, CA – Emmaus! 
This band is led in part by a friend and previous ministry partner of mine, Tim Loomis. This CD is a project of the worship band from their church – Emmaus Church Community. These songs are fresh, very worshipful, and a great addition to any worship collection or worship team’s repertoire. You can find out all about the group and the new CD, and even hear and purchase samples of the tracks at www.emmausworship.org . (No, I don’t get any of the proceeds, in case you were wondering.) If you don’t listen to anything else, be sure to listen to “Only Good” – a song that incorporates the verses from the old hymn, “And Can It Be.” And by the way, it’s Tim singing on that one!
Music Review – Jill Paquette
This is my first review of a Christian CD, and I am featuring a CD that is a few years old (2003) but it’s really, really, REALLY good! It’s a self-titled album – Jill Paquette. My review follows…

Jill Paquette, Compact Disc [CD]By Jill Paquette / Provident Music Distribution
Review by Carey Green: I first heard about this CD when a friend started playing it while we were sitting in the same office (Thanks Tim). I was immediately hooked – by three things. 1) Jill’s voice is so clear and expressive. I couldn’t help but believe that she really believed what she was sining. 2) Her lyrics weren’t your typical Christian-ese fluff. They were thoughtful, authentic to what the Christian struggle often is like, yet filled with hope and confidence in God as supreme over it all. 3) Jill’s musicianship is amazing. She plays piano (classically trained) AND acoustic guitar, and does both with excellence. You can tell these aren’t hastily thrown-together songs, but well-crafted and intentionally produced. As I’ve listened to Christian music over the past few years I’ve been amazed NOT to have heard Jill’s stuff being played. She’s equal to any of the “big name” artists that you know of, and in my opinion just as solid in her faith and expression of it. STYLISTICALLY: Jill’s music is a cool mix of stuff, but overall I’d have to say it’s folksy-down-home-easy-listening-but-exciting! Does that make sense? You can click on the (Jill Paquette – Compact Disk) link above and find samples of each of the songs on the CD. Buy Jill’s CD – you WILL NOT be disappointed with it’s quality, clarity, and heart-felt honestly about the Christian life and the awesome God who is behind, within, and surrounding it! |
