i am an offering

My pastor beat me to it.  Usually I’m the one that’s introducing new songs but I’m very glad that he found this one before I did.  Many of you might have heard of Keith Getty, more than likely from the co-written song “In Christ Alone.”  But Keith and his wife have written many, many great modern hymns for the church.  We’re beginning to sing, “Speak, O Lord” at Living Word and boy is it a great song!

I would highly recommend this song, not only for congregational worship, but as a prayer for yourself every day.

Teach us, Lord, full obedience,
Holy reverence, true humility;
Test our thoughts and our attitudes
In the radiance of Your purity.
Cause our faith to rise; cause our eyes to see
Your majestic love and authority.
Words of pow’r that can never fail
Let their truth prevail over unbelief.

Has anyone heard any new and favorite worship songs lately that you’ve been doing in your churches, will be doing in your churches or want to be doing in your churches?  We’ve been singing Everlasting God, by Brenton Brown (made popular by Lincoln Brewster), and I really like it.  It’s so great to sing and repeat the words of the prophet Isaiah from chapter 40 of his Old Testament book.  Anyone have any they’d like to share?
