In the spirit of Christmas, the song for the week is Winter Snow by Audrey Assad. Besides this song she also has an album out called The House You're Building. She has such a unique voice that is gentle yet rich in sound. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas, and hopefully we do get some winter snow!
I love this song because normally people don't take time to actually think about Jesus's birth. With all the power God holds, Jesus could have come in many different forms. But he chose to come quiet, soft, and slow just like a winter snow. I love the image that is created from all the lyrics but especially the one that says "falling from the sky in the night, to the earth below." We have a powerful God, but he is also gentle. Enjoy this Christmas, and remember the gentleness and peace that Jesus brings in his birth!

Safe
This week I chose the song Safe by Phil Wickham. The lyrics in his music are just so detailed, encouraging, and thoughtful. He does a lot of acoustic stuff, contemporary worship songs, and just the type of music you want to listen to when you need encouragement or hope. For college students finals are comin up, and for those of you still in high school or middle school there's a lot of work to get done before Christmas break. Take some time to just reflect on the beauty of this artist's songs.
You will be safe in His arms. The hands that hold the world are holding your heart. This is the promise He made. He will be with You always. When everything is falling apart. You will be safe in His arms. With all the stress that comes in life we need to remember that His hands are holding our heart. It might seem like things are not going to come together, but He built the mountains and calmed the sea. These are the arms His hands hold the heavens, and they are holding you and me. He is powerful and loving and he desires to hold us small beings in his hands! God is good :)

Everyone To Know
This weeks song is Everyone To Know by Bethany Dillon. She came out with her first album at the age of 14, and continues to inspire listeners through her contempory-pop christian music at the age of 21. Her songs share her love, joy, and peace found in the Lord. Enjoy!
"Here we go. Let in the light from my window. Say goodbye to my sorrow, and hello, new day. My soul needed a rescue. A Hero, it had to be You. I know you've changed everything"
Everyday holds the possibily of a change. There is constantly things trying to distract us, and pull us away from the Lord. Our souls need a Hero, and that Hero has to be God. Once you find that He is your one and only Hero, it is your job to tell everyone about His love! Face it, if you can truly grasp how infinite his love is for you, you will want everyone to know :)
