Tommy Walker is one of my favorite songwriters. He's a worship leader out in CA - and differs from a lot of songwriters, in that he works for a church - his tunes are written with the congregation in mind, and pitched in keys that are singable for the average congregation, as opposed to some recording artists that are fantastic TENOR vocalists - and pitch their songs accordingly.Anyway, Tommy released a new album this past Tuesday, called "I Have a Hope." The title song, along with "do it Lord" and "Hallelujah, we will sing," are incredible. You can download the…

We're adding a new tune to the ever-growing repertoire of worship music at OMPC. This weekend we'll be singing "The Power of the Cross," written by Stuart Townend and Keith Getty. Great tune. Powerful text.

I've been listening to this entire album for months now. It is hands down one of the best worship albums out right now. If you're looking for something that you can put in and listen to from start to finish, get this album. Off this album, at OMPC - we've done the songs: Almighty God, Everything, and The Highest and Greatest. We're about to add God of Justice, and Out of the Darkness.

I'm usually on the tail end of "new music" that's out - on mainstream radio. I've been loving that song "Apologize" - remix version from "Timbaland." It's on iTunes - but check out the group that actually wrote and originally performed the song - OneRepublic. They have a song on their album called "Prodigal." Here's the lyrics. I wonder if they meant to shine the Gospel so clearly:We say good-bye I turn my back Run away, run away So predictable Not far from here You see me crack Like a bone, like a bone I'm so breakable And I take…

I haven't been blogging much lately, but have also been in the middle of the seasonal marathon, which ends early this year, due to a bizarre spring equinox and a moon phase schedule.

We're sitting around the dinner table last night, discussing school, and our days, etc. Drake has been listening to his mom's rehearsal CD, and there's a song called "The Real Jesus," by downhere. Mandy says - Drake, tell dad what the song means. Drake says - "Dad - it's someone that wants to be born again, he ASKING for someone to show him who Jesus really is." I told him "great answer," to which he responds "yeah, and I didn't even need help."
