New Music Tuesdays

May 12, 2010

After having a very informative conversation with Bill Seaver of Micro Explosion Media, I have decided that I don’t blog enough.  You say, “Really?  No posts since February, and you got that from a conversation with someone else?”  Yes.  And he’s a pro, so he got through.

And so, with much excitement, I am launching the first of what will be New Music Tuesdays (I know it’s Wednesday, but I had trouble embedding video correctly yesterday with my limited web experience. Shout out to my programmer Adam Darnell for the fix!). This video is from the comfort of my garage.  My little Lucy is 16-months old, and waking her up is not wise.  So I went as far away from her room as possible – it’s not fancy, but it’ll do.

This week’s new music is “One True God,” written with James Tealy (it’s not exactly new, but it’s probably new to most).  It has been used in many contexts where the truth that there is one God that is above all other gods is not well known.  Overseas, missionaries have embraced its message, but so have those on this side of the pond who deal with relativism and the “all roads lead to the same God” mindset. Ephesians 4 is just one passage out of many that remind us that there is “one God and Father of all, who is over all and in all and through all.”

The chart and lead sheet are coming soon to the songs page. Be sure to check back weekly for New Music Tuesdays!

One True God

You’re the God of the falling fire / You’re the God of the coming rain / You’re the God of the gentle whisper / Surely You are / Surely You are / The one true God / Strong yet beautiful, just yet merciful / Proving Yourself to be / The one true God / Never changing but still mysterious / The infinite, yet intimate God / You’re the God of the humble manger / You’re the God of the healing word / You’re the God of the blood and water / Surely You are / Surely You are / (chorus)
