Did anyone read the Lion Of War series by Cliff Graham? I devoured those books!
They are fiction, but are based on the battles of the Biblical warrior poet King David and his band of brothers, who came to be known as the Mighty Men. These warriors came to David in his most desperate hour and fought with him to claim the throne he was destined to fill.
I'm super happy/excited/proud to be a part of the "Praise and Arrows" album. It's a compilation inspired by the novels.
It’s gloomy out today...a little cold and overcast, but I know Sunday is coming. The forecast is sunny and a high of 79 degrees! I’m looking forward to having that light and heat kiss my face (but not for too long, because I’m terrified of sun damage).
Today is a serious day. I woke up feeling the weight of it. My eyes get teary when I try to grasp what this day must have been for the ones that saw our Lord give himself over to suffer and die.
I’ve been working while sitting outside on the porch all morning (in a sweater with a hood, a blanket and cranked up space heater), with the budding trees and singing birds as my company. As I go through my to do list, I’m alternating my soundtrack between the Portuguese version of “Come Back to Life” that I’m learning and the soundtrack to the most recent movie version of “Jane Eyre.”(Thank you Dario Marianella for the beauty you put in the world (click to listen). Also, I experienced this completely joyful moment when at one point a little birdie was singing a perfect counter melody to the orchestra.)
I am so excited to finally release my new single "Come Back to Life!" I have been so encouraged already by the response to this song FROM YOU whenever I've performed it live and I truly hope that it's a catalyst for healing in people's lives.
At the heart of the song is a calling out to everyone going through the trials of everyday life and also to those dealing with depression, living in a dark place or even battling with thoughts of suicide. The plea is for a realization, that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead, is still available to us! WE CAN ALL, "Come Back to Life!"
AH!!!! Show love! Show mercy! Show heart!!
Everyone, I could not be more excited to share this video with you! I LOVE the message behind this song, that everyday is an opportunity to show his love, mercy and heart. I also loved the opportunity the theater imagery in the lyric gave me to get a little DRAMATIC!
I had the privilege of working with such an awesome team on this!
I hope you enjoy this message and the music and the visual expression. I'm so thankful for this opportunity to share!
