Songs of Simple Worship 2; "Give Me Jesus"
I first heard this song done by Fernando Ortega. It rocked me. I snatched the song and recorded it on the project. It is one of two cover tunes on the CD.
My hope is to live out the words to this song. Easier said than done.
Be sure and join us for the Simple Worship 2 release party, TOMORROW July 30, 7-8:30 at Coffee Grounds in Terre Haute. We will also be at Gingersnaps Cafe on August 6, 7-8:30 (in the Open Door Bookstore).
Simple Worship 2 goes on sale at the online store on TOMRROW, July 30. Check it out here.

Songs of Simple Worship 2; "Be Near"
Be Near is one of the two cover tunes on the Simple Worship 2 CD. Written by Shane and Shane, this song grabbed me from the first time I heard it. Eric Louk contributed the piano tracks to this tune and did a masterful job.
Be sure and join us for the Simple Worship 2 release party. July 30, 7-8:30 at Coffee Grounds in Terre Haute. We will also be at Gingersnaps Cafe on August 6, 7-8:30 (in the Open Door Bookstore).

Songs of Simple Worship 2; "Tired"
This seems an odd song from a worship leader, but for several years I have been asking myself “Is God as tired of hearing these songs as I am of singing them.” James 1:27 and Isaiah 1:11-17 blasted me hard. Are we singing love songs to Jesus while orphans and widows die? The answer to that is “Yes.” The real tragedy is that we don’t care. We would rather have a new worship song than spend time with the overlooked and ignored. I think that honks God off. He is breaking my heart on this and keeps reminding me that I have a long way to go. If all we do is sing pretty little songs, we will one day be full of regret when we look at Jesus and know that our worship was more about us than him.
I’m pullin’ out all the stops
Somehow, I’ve lost the plot
Those lines are written for my many worship leading friends. We can get in danger of worshipping the worship. I think it high time to live like we sing. Love God with passion. Sing loud. Hug orphans and kiss widows. That is the worship God is crazy about.
Be sure and join us for the Simple Worship 2 release party. July 30, 7-8:30 at Coffee Grounds in Terre Haute. We will also be at Gingersnaps Cafe on August 6, 7-8:30 (in the Open Door Bookstore).
Hopefully these nights inspire us to worship beyond the music.
