The Struggle Tour

This past Wednesday night I had the opportunity to see three of my favorite bands together in concert. It was a really fun night of worship and great music.

The first band to play was Rend Collective Experiment. If I could choose to be in any band, this would be it. This was my second time seeing them, and they were just as good as I remember.

 
One of the best songs off their newest album, Homemade Worship by Handmade People, is called  Build Your Kingdom Here. Have a listen.
 

 
They were followed by Audrey Assad. I absolutely love her voice.  One of the guys from one of the other bands jokingly said that she sings so well because she swallowed an angel. I think that might be true.
 
 
Here is one of the songs she performed - Sparrow.
 
The final group and headliners of the tour was Tenth Avenue North. This was the second time I have seen them in concert, also. They are an amazing band - so full of energy and so passionate about Jesus. Their most recent album is called The Struggle. It and all their other albums are worth getting if you don't have them already.  
 
 
One of my favorite songs from The Struggle is called Worn.
 
 
I also really like Losing.
 
 
This tour is about half over, so you still have time to see it. If they come to your neighborhood, you should definitely go. You will be blessed.

Holy (Wedding Day)

I'm loving this song by The City Harmonic right now. Have a listen.

October's Party ~ George Cooper


October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came—
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.

The Chestnuts came in yellow,
The Oaks in crimson dressed;
The lovely Misses Maple
In scarlet looked their best;
All balanced to their partners,
And gaily fluttered by;
The sight was like a rainbow
New fallen from the sky.

Then, in the rustic hollow,
At hide-and-seek they played,
The party closed at sundown,
And everybody stayed.
Professor Wind played louder;
They flew along the ground;
And then the party ended
In jolly "hands around."
