I sampled our baby saying "up please" and "babies" and constructed this loop bit with garageband on my wife's iphone. We all had way too much fun with this.

Babies

The Blood of Jesus

Lyrics:
I rest my
life firmly in the blood
of Jesus
God's one and only son
I lift my
eyes up into the clouds
He's where my heart is found

Where my heart is found - rev1

Arrangement of a hymn by William Cowper called "O For A Closer Walk With God" (1772). I saw Michael Kirkland tweet the last verse May 4, 2010 and i printed the whole thing out and its been on my mind since then... we cannot let the regret of time lost or the present longing to be closer to God prevent us from trusting his promises now.

VERSE I
O for a closer walk with God,
A Calm, and heav'nly frame;
A light to shine upon the road
that leads to the lamb

Where is the blessedness I knew
When first I saw the lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
Of Jesus and His Word?

CHORUS
Rise and walk From The Grave
Rise and walk From The Grave
Rise and walk From The Grave
God is Big Enough to Save Your Faith

VERSE II
What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their mem'ry still!
But they have left an aching void
The world can never fill.

Return, O holy Dove, return,
Sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
And drove thee from my breast.

VERSE III
The dearest idol I have known,
What'er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from thy throne,
And worship only thee.

So shall my walk be close with God,
Calm and serene my frame;
So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb.

Rise (O For A Closer Walk)

A morning at Summit Crossing listening to this hymn being discussed prompted me to begin singing through it. A new melody and rhythm snuck into my head and it just seemed to play itself. I am really enjoying the new version, I hope you enjoy it too!
