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 [...]

To close out the month, and add a balance point to my post of Jon Foreman’s song last week, I wanted to share the title track off Switchfoot’s most recent album, Hello Hurricane. In my opinion, there aren’t many other songs that are as encouraging as this one. I love the message. Things are hitting you hard like a hurricane and trying to break you down, and you simply declare that no matter what will [...]

I debated for a while whether or not to share this song on the blog. It is a decidedly somber sounding melody, and I think in a worship ministry, our tendency is to gravitate towards the songs that are an overflow of joy for what Christ has done for us. But we are also striving to be artists, and art comes from a place of honesty. This is one of those songs that is able [...]

Audrey Assad is an incredibly talented singer and songwriter, currently residing in AZ. We have had the privilege of having Audrey lead worship at Cornerstone before and share some of her songs with us! Audrey recently released a new album called The House You’re Building, and the lead track off that album is called For Love Of You. Take a look at the lyrics, and enjoy this awesome song! You live in a million places [...]

In 2007 Hillsong United released my favorite worship album of all time, All of the Above. It was their first studio project, and contains some of the most powerful and simple moments of worship I’ve ever heard. I found this acoustic version of the song Devotion, and wanted to share it today! I’ve been running, trying to be one who sees I’ve been working, this salvation out on my knees There is nothing better than [...]

I can’t hide it, I’m a complete and total Switchfoot fan. They have been my favorite band for about 8 years now. Something about the way Jon Foreman writes songs completely connects with me. I wanted to share this song in particular because I think it’s an amazing story of change. It goes beautifully from a blunt indictment of our deepest sins, to complete redemption through Him. It shows that God has a plan and [...]

Our dear friend Trevor Tillery and his band Raining and OK have been getting quite a bit of publicity as of late. If you’ve been watching MTV at all (don’t lie, you know you have ) You have probably heard their songs on shows like The Real World and Teen Mom, amongst others. Trevor has played at Cornerstone for some time now, and as of yesterday left on his way to move to Nashville! We [...]

Ryan, Brian and I got the chance to go see Robbie Seay and his band play at Mission Church a few months back (This video is not from that night, by the way). This song is off his “Give Yourself Away” album from a few years back, but that night was the first time I had heard his version, and it really stuck with me. It was originally written and recorded by a band called [...]
