Gungor: “Beautiful Things”

// June 25th, 2010 // No Comments » // Music, Spiritual

There are probably a lot of you familiar with Michael Gungor and his music, you just don’t know it yet.  Michael toured with Acquire the Fire a few years back and became well known for his worship songs “Battle Cry”, “Wrap Me in Your Arms, “Friend of God”, and the like.  He has recently changed his band’s name from “Michael Gungor Band” to simply “Gungor”.  With it comes a new and refined sound and creativity that I am absolutely digging.  The creativity and musicianship is excellent; I cannot get enough.  Here’s a taste of their newest release, “Beautiful Things”, that was released earlier this year.

This week, people started asking me, “Who is that singing/playing that last song in Zion’s ‘first day video’ [shared here on my personal site] ?”  That’s when I realized that I wanted more people to experience Gungor.  Here’s a beautiful acoustic version of their title song, “Beautiful Things”…

Lastly, Gungor plays “The Earth is Yours” live and in the forest. Love it!

Dare I say Gungor’s “Beautiful Things” might be my favorite album of the moment? I think it might be! Go check ‘em out on their [official web site] and snag yourself some awesome music now!

Worship Like You Mean It

// March 28th, 2010 // No Comments » // Spiritual, Web Sites

The images of Haitians worshiping in the streets on the nationally sanctioned days of prayer and fasting in mid-February won’t leave me.  I wanted to share the video that Youth Specialties’ media guy, Ian W. Robertson, posted on his blog today.  In Ian’s own words…

It seems fitting that I post this video on Palm Sunday, the day that celebrates and remembers Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey while people praised him and sang in the streets.  While in Haiti, we experienced a day of people dancing, singing, parading, and praising Jesus in the streets of Port-au-Prince.  Here’s a short video to give you a small glimpse into what that was like…

If there’s one thing I don’t ever want to do halfheartedly, it is to worship God.
