A Sunday Song Music Giveaway!

I've been trying to share some of my favorite songs with you every Sunday.  This week we reorganized our office area and found some extra CDs.  I'd like to give this one away to one of my followers.  It's a great CD to listen to if you're going through tough times right now.  If you would like this leave a comment on this post and when I get back from Texas on September 9 I'll pick a number and mail this to you.  Make sure you leave me an email or blog url so I can contact you.

From the CD cover:

Come Weary Saints is an invitation to redirect your focus to the God whose love has been forever demonstrated at the cross of Calvary.  As you listen to these songs may your faith and joy in the Savior be strengthened for the challenges you face, now or in the future.

Here's one of the songs from the CD:

Sunday Song - All I Have Is Christ

Here's the new song we sang this morning:

Sunday Song - Speak O Lord

My favorite today was the second verse:
Teach us Lord full obedience,
Holy reverence, true humility.
Test our thoughts and our attitudes,
In the radiance of Your purity.
Cause our faith to rise,
Cause our eyes to see,
Your majestic love and authority.
Words of power that can never fail;
Let their truth prevail over unbelief.

Written by Stuart Townsend & Keith Getty

Time for a Sunday Song

We sing a lot of modern hymns at our church.  This is one of my favorites, by one of my favorite writers -- after Glenn, of course.  :-)


O church, arise and put your armor on;
Hear the call of Christ our captain;
For now the weak can say that they are strong
In the strength that God has given.
With shield of faith and belt of truth
We'll stand against the devil's lies;
An army bold whose battle cry is "Love!"
Reaching out to those in darkness.

Our call to war, to love the captive soul,
But to rage against the captor;
And with the sword that makes the wounded whole
We will fight with faith and valor.
When faced with trials on ev'ry side,
We know the outcome is secure,
And Christ will have the prize for which He died—
An inheritance of nations.

Come, see the cross where love and mercy meet,
As the Son of God is stricken;
Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet,
For the Conqueror has risen!
And as the stone is rolled away,
And Christ emerges from the grave,
This vict'ry march continues till the day
Ev'ry eye and heart shall see Him.

So Spirit, come, put strength in ev'ry stride,
Give grace for ev'ry hurdle,
That we may run with faith to win the prize
Of a servant good and faithful.
As saints of old still line the way,
Retelling triumphs of His grace,
We hear their calls and hunger for the day
When, with Christ, we stand in glory.


This group came to our church a few years ago and our choir got to sing with them.  We still have four CDs leftover from that concert.  I think I gave their CD to all our family members that year for Christmas, but if there is anyone else who would like to have one I'd be glad to send it to you.  It's the "In Christ Alone" CD.  You can read more about it and listen to clips by clicking the link below.  Amazon's best price is $7.72, but mine are FREE!  If you want one, leave a comment on this post with info about how to contact you and I'll get your mailing address.
