Let’s face it. There’s not a whole lot of Variety in Christmas Music if you don’t go looking for it! In choosing the songs to share this month, I wanted to find a few versions that you may not have heard before. Brian clued me in to Sufjan Stevens earlier this year and I have become a big fan since. Here is his version of O Come O Come Emmanuel, from his album ‘Songs for [...]

Brian Wurzell – Pre-Release Video from CS Worship Arts on Vimeo. Over the past few weeks you’ve probably heard a few new songs in our rotation at Cornerstone. Some of them are off Brian Wurzell’s upcoming album Grace Ocean! The album is set to release on January 4th, with the CD Release Show happening on January 8th, but who wants to wait? Right now, for Three days only (December 14, 15, 16) you can order [...]

If you’ve been going to Cornerstone for a while, you’ve probably heard of our friends Future of Forestry. They are one of the best bands working right now, and if you have had the privilege of seeing them perform live, you know why! They are some of the most passionate musicians, and it shows in their performances. They released an EP of Christmas music in 2008, and now in 2010, they have released Part II! [...]

Our Song Setlist for 12/12/10 is below! The fourth track we sang together yesterday was Brian Wurzell’s “Great Redeemer”. If you enjoyed it, be sure to check out his album Grace Ocean when it comes out in January

Have you heard of Seabird??? If not, you’re missing out. They are such a fantastic band, and they have released a few new takes on some Christmas Classics. One of them is this version of Joy to the World, which has become one of my favorite versions! Check out their album Over The Hills and Everywhere. I hope you enjoy, and check out some of their other Christmas Tunes! Seabird – Over The Hills and [...]

The Sunday Setlist for December 5, 2010 is now online! Preview and Purchase the Songs Below!

I had the privilege of attending the Catalyst One Day event in Peoria a few weeks back with some of the Cornerstone Staff and Volunteers. It was an incredibly moving day! We got to hear some empowering messages from Andy Stanley and Craig Groeschel, and some inspiring worship from the North Point Church Worship team, led by Todd Fields and Eddie Kirkland. One of the songs they played that day was Lift High (written by [...]

I thought it would be fun to end the month with a great inspiration video Diego Stocco is a super talented musician and artist. His project ‘Bassoforte’ is a video of him making sort of a Frankenstein-like instrument. He repurposes components from a bunch of different instruments to make something alltogether new. I love this video and the song he composes with it, check it out and tell us what you think!

The new Sunday Setlist for 11/28 is online! The only song that’s missing is Brian Wurzell’s track Great Redeemer. Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait until Grace Ocean releases on January 4th to pick that song up

This is an unreleased cover of U2′s ‘Forty’ that Mutemath did. Mutemath is an incredible band that is a must see live. I really like this version and wanted to share it with you! As with the original, it is taken from Psalm 40. Here is the NLT Version of Psalm 40 below Enjoy! 1 I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. 2 He [...]
