Colton Dixon - You Are

Colton made it pretty deep into the American Idol competition in 2012. Bumped out probably earlier than he deserved. Still, good job to get as far as he did. This is a very inspiring song that he co-wrote, from his album "A Messenger". A message of praise and thanks to our everloving Lord.

1 Corinthians Chapter 13 in Stop Motion

A stop motion video I made for part of one of my favorite chapters of the Bible.

Karen Lynne - Little Mountain Church House

Karen Lynne is a bluegrass singer/songwriter from Australia. She is awesome. She recently recorded a gospel bluegrass album called "Shine Your Light" (see Matthew 5:16), which I don't believe has been released yet, but she was kind enough to send me a preview copy. I was hooked by the very first song, "Little Mountain Church House", written by Carl Jackson and Jim Rushing. Very touching lyrics. What imagery.

Yeah, I know, I already created a video for this song as recorded by Ricky Skaggs. There are no rules here (well, that's not true, there are lots of rules, but not one that applies to this situation), I can cheat and make another video with the same pictures and different music.

Anyway, thank you Karen, this is a wonderful rendition. And the musicians are fantastic, too.

Lisa Daggs - Dancing

I heard this song on Lisa Daggs' weekly radio show "Reality Check" on 103.9 The Fish in Sacramento. It's from her album "Forgiveness Is A Powerful Thing" (and, yes, it is). I used some artistic license and interpreted it as a song about a Down's Syndrome girl, but it could go many different directions. But that was what I envisioned. Very cool song. Thank you, Lisa! Written by James Hudson and C. Evan Leonard. Hope I did it justice.

Hillsong United - Oceans (Where Feet May Fail), feat. Taya Smith

This is from Hillsong United's album "Zion". The overtone is about the scene of Peter being called by Jesus to walk on the water, and he did, but then he temporarily lost faith and started to sink. He called on Jesus to rescue him, and Jesus did. In the bigger picture, sometimes our faith in God wanes a little bit, and then we struggle. We can't do it on our own. But when we put our full trust in Him, He responds. Always.

Written by Matt Crocker, Joel Houston, and Salomon Ligthelm. A beautiful solo by Taya Smith, a new voice to me. Refreshing.

Matt Maher - Lord I Need You

I already made a video of this song with Chris Tomlin's rendition. This is pretty much the same video,but with Matt Maher singing (he is one of the co-authors of the song). He's accompanied by the supremely talented Audrey Assad. Yes, Lord, we definitely need You. We are lost without You.

Karen Lynne - Where Jesus Is

This is such a beautiful song, sung by Karen Lynne.She is so good! Come on people, check out her music. She is outstanding. This is from her album "Shine Your Light", which has not yet been released worldwide, but hopefully soon.
