Tyrone Wells is a singer/ songwriter based out of Spokane, Washington. He’s an incredibly talented songwriter that has a certain truthfulness to every word he writes. Tyrone played a few songs at Cornerstone a few months back and it was a super encouraging time of worship. He played a small set of songs with only an acoustic guitar, and closed with this one. I have since become a big fan of all his work, but [...]

This song is a few years old now, but for whatever reason, has been stuck in my head quite a bit over the last few weeks. I love how haunting and striking the melody is. I have actually had the pleasure of hearing them play this song live, and you can’t help but be overwhelmed by the passion it is sung with. I hope this song blesses you today as it blesses me. I hope [...]

It’s no secret that Cornerstone loves Future of Forestry! They are ridiculously talented musicians, and good people with an amazing message. I spent a good portion of my holidays traveling recently, and in doing so, spent a lot of time listening to their stellar Travel Series. I have to say though, no matter how many times I hear it, this song definitely always stays my favorite Forestry song. The lyrics are below, and also a [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Needtobreathe again! I remember the first time I heard this song, it stopped me dead in my tracks. I couldn’t take my focus away from it, and ended up re-playing it a half dozen times. It so perfectly captures the heart of Jesus that night in the garden. Not my will, but yours be done. I love how they are able to humanize the feeling Jesus must have felt. The song is a lament cried [...]

Owl City is essentially a one-man music project by Adam Young. Owl City achieved huge success this year with their song “Fireflies”. If you’ve been anywhere near a radio in 2009-2010, you’ve most likely heard it. The best thing about Adam Young, though, is how outspoken he is about his faith in Christ. He recently decided to do a ‘cover’ of sorts of one of his favorite songs. The result is the melodic “In Christ [...]
