I Am A Child Of God

YES!  It finally worked!  I have been able to create a movie compiled of pictures of my awesome kiddos, set to the amazing music of one of my favorite a capella groups!

I Am A Child Of God ... by InsideOut

If you don't know my kids (or care to see their pictures), please at least listen to this beautiful song.  It is a hymn from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) and the message is my favorite part of the song.  We are ALL children of our Father in Heaven and He wants for us to return "to live with him someday."  The original hymn is very nice by itself, but this a capella version is BY FAR my favorite version and quite possibly my favorite spiritual song ever!

I hope you like it.

Fix You

I will NEVER forget the first time I heard this version of this song.  My wife had bought tickets to see SNC (Straight No Chaser) live here in Colorado Springs, CO.  Of course the concert itself was amazing, but most of it was high-energy and relatively loud.  Then all of a sudden, the singers formed a 3/4 circle and the lights dimmed.  A purple hue set the backdrop for a "change of pace."  In near darkness the group sang this song, at a much softer, slower, more reverent pace than anything else they had done that night.  It gave me CHILLS !!!

Fix You ... by Straight No Chaser

The original version of this song was written and performed by Coldplay, but this a capella version makes the words and music more beautiful in my humble opinion.  "I will try.  (Tears stream)  I will try.  (Down on your face)  I promise you (I will try) I will learn from my mistakes.  And I will fix you.  Lights will guide you home."

BONUS SONG:

Like A Prayer ... by SNC

I was still reveling in the amazing music of that night when I came across this version of the Madonna classic on the group's official website.  It totally changed my view of that song, with a similar choice to slow it down and emphasize the tune with more of a spiritual sound.  Just amazing!

I'm Trying to be like Jesus

Welcome to my newest blog! What I say/write will be short (usually), but I will include links each day to a song that I enjoy listening to, which will also be a "Daily Theme Song" ... Hence the name of this blog!

Today's song is NOT my favorite tune from the a cappela group InsideOut, but it is one I really like that is already on YouTube! :)

I like the message of this children's hymn along with the melody and creative arrangement. I hope you enjoy it.
