Where You Go I’ll Go

cindy — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 23:03:14 +0000

I’m one of the worship vocalists at Journey Church in Bradenton, FL. I know that God uses music to prepare the hearts of His people to hear His Words. He loves when His people lavish Him with praise and thanksgiving for what He’s done and worship Him for who He is. We all have different musical tastes but to me, when it comes to worship music the lyrics are what matter most.

Today we sang a very powerful song, I have heard it occasionally over the last year or so but this was our first time leading the congregation in the singing of this song. The words to this song are so powerful and true, transparent and honest that-to truly sing it from your heart you must surrender yourself totally to the will of God.

The song is “Where You Go I’ll Go” by Brian and Jenn Johnson. Here are the lyrics.

Chorus:

Where you go I’ll go
What you say I’ll say, God
What you pray I’ll pray
What you pray I’ll pray

Verse:

Jesus only did what he saw You do
He would only say what he heard You speak
He would only move when he felt You lead
Following your heart following Your spirit

Pre chorus:

How could I expect to walk without You
When every move that Jesus made was in surrender
I will not begin to live without You
For You alone are worthy and You are always good

Bridge:

Though the world sees and soon forgets
We will not forget who You are and what You’ve done for us
What You’ve done for us

Since many of you may not know this powerful song, I’m including a video of Kim Walker and Jesus Culture leading this song in a worship service. I hope this blesses and challenges you as it has me. Please leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts.

Michael Buble-Crazy Love

cindy — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 12:53:18 +0000

Michael Buble’s lastest project “Crazy Love” hit store shelves recently. I love Buble’s sweet voice and was excited when I was asked to review the CD. “Crazy Love” is a collection of passionate songs that embodies the deep mysteries of love sung by one of the most exciting, young performers today.

Album Tracklisting:
1. Cry Me A River
2. All Of Me
3. Georgia On My Mind
4. Crazy Love
5. Haven’t Met You Yet
6. All I Do Is Dream Of You
7. Hold On
8. Heartache Tonight
9. You’re Nobody Till Somebody Loves You
10. Baby (You’ve Got What It Takes)
11. At This Moment
12. Stardust
13. Whatever It Takes (bonus track)

My favorite song on the CD is “Haven’t Met You Yet” Check out the video.

In my opinion, the CD is good some songs better than others but, it didn’t blow me away like I was expecting it to. It has found only moderate rotation on my personal playlist. My husband came in the house while I was writing this post and said that Glenn Beck has been talking about how awesome this album is all day on his radio show and now he wants to borrow it to listen to it too.

You can order you’re copy of “Crazy Love” right from Michael’s website. Happy listening!

Disclosure-This review was written as part of a promotion through One2One Network. I was provided with a copy of the CD so that I could review it. All opinions in this review are my own.

Today is my 18th wedding anniversary so I thought it was the perfect day to post a giveaway for my new favorite CD of romantic music, “Your Songs” by Harry Connick Jr. Harry performs classic songs by some of the greatest musicians of all time with a full jazz big band and string orchestra!

These songs are the tunes that you always find yourself humming along to when you hear them!

Jump with Jill the Rockstar Nutritionist

cindy — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 23:28:34 +0000

Jill Jayne, MS, RD, is the country’s only Rockstar Nutritionist. She is the leading expert in creating and delivering interactive media about health to kids and families. Jump with Jill grew out of Jill’s belief that kids would want to make healthy decisions if the information was presented to them in an engaging way. Jill tours the country performing for school children and nutrition professionals.

I am a music teacher so I know the power of teaching all sorts of academic subjects using music. I love this CD! Jill’s lyrics are catchy and very educational. The musical styles run the gamut from jazz, to rock, Latin and rap and everything in between. This isn’t just litle kid music that quickly becomes annoying to mom in the car. The varied musical styles and catchy lyrics make it a great CD to listen to on the way to school in the morning or when you’re running errands. My teens even enjoyed listening to this CD.

The song list for Get Me Goin’ is:
1. Healthy Is Good for Me
2. Get Me Goin’
3. Water
4. Beat of the Body
5. Slow Food
6. The Bone Rap
7. Special Glasses
8. The Fellowship
9. Superpower Vegetables
10. Energy
11. Soda Pop
You can stream the music here.
