I'm on the listening board for the SongDiscovery sampler CD that comes with Worship Leader Magazine. I get to hear lots of fresh new music. Most of it never makes it to mainstream Christian radio, which is a shame, since it's every bit as good. Here's a video I made for a song off of Volume 116 of SongDiscovery. It's by a band named River City Hymnal, from Richmond, VA. It's about how we, even as broken sinners, can offer ourselves up to be His vessels. From their EP titled "Wonders".

Here's a little background on the group, from their Facebook page:

River City Hymnal is a collective of friends and musicians writing and playing songs for our faith community in Richmond, VA. We come from a variety of musical backgrounds, pulling influences from Tom Petty, Wilco, The Head and the Heart, Gustavo Holst, and more. Our goal is to connect people to God and each other through our lyrics and sounds.

Doran Robin was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2004, He was contacted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation and given a chance to have one wish come true.. For years Make-A-Wish has been granting wishes for kids with a life threatening illness. The most amazing part of this organization is that they are not just granting children wishes.... they are giving these children one of the greatest gifts of all... Hope. The sad reality is that these children experiencing these diseases have many things stripped of their lives when they become ill with cancer. They cannot play the normal "contact" sports as their young and much more energetic friends, and along with many other things, they begin to feel isolated. This is where Make-A-Wish steps in. By granting these children the wishes (Which for Doran was a pool), they are giving these children who feel rejected and (expendable) to this world, allow each of these children to have a glimpse of hope, and to see that they will never be cast aside, given up on or forgotten, because they are loved by others who want to see them concor, succeed, and see wishes come true!

Insight: The earth and heavens are featured in this interlude video, using words from a psalm in which the psalm writer pleads for God not to abandon his people during a time of torment. The psalm pauses in the verses selected to reflect on God's glory. At the line about not knowing how it will all end (which referred to the passing troubles) an image appears that is not to represent destruction, but power. On April 25, 2008, NASA's Swift satellite picked up this record-setting flare from a star known as EV Lacertae. This flare was the brightest flare ever seen from a star other than the sun. Like ancient people, in times of trouble we still have a timeless yearning to see God unleash his power in a way we desire. But the psalm suggests that we already have proof enough that God is there, to enable our faith.

At 15 years old, he is living in a run-down trailer park with his single parent mom, who is having nightmares that he isn’t going to make it in life. In what seems like a miracle, he overcomes his extremely difficult childhood and is being called the next "Zig Ziglar" or great motivational speaker by the time he is 34. By 2007, he is living in a million dollar home with all the toys, the travel, the big income, the notoriety, the “good life”. Shortly after reaching the top, he finds himself miserable and with no peace because he is torn between two loves…God and success. Once the frustration reached its breaking point, he cries out and surrenders to God. The story that begins next is absolutely extraordinary and beyond anything he could have ever imagined...

I'm a member of the listening board for the SongDiscovery sampler CD that comes with Worship Leader magazine. I get to vote on which songs make it on to the CD. I definitely voted for this one, which is on Volume 116. I'll put in a plug here for SongDiscovery and Worship Leader magazine. If you're looking for some fresh worship music by non-mainstream artists, SongDiscovery is the place to be.

Anyway, this is a song written by Raquel Carlson and Chris Clayton called "Wake Us Up", from Raquel's EP "Come Alive". The lyrics inspired me to make this video. Very easy to learn, very easy for a congregation to sing. A song of revival and renewal. Thank you Raquel and Chris for an inspiring song.

From the Hillsong United album "Zion", a truly majestic song, led by Taya Smith. Written by Dean Ussher and Scott Ligertwood.
