We hope you’re enjoying your first couple days of April – but here’s an open call out to all our fans and artists alike: Let’s continue to support & show each other love by covering and pushing the songs of our fellow artists!

The spirit’s willing but the flesh is weak
Bring us into the light so we can see
All of our sin and shame put on your Son all upon his name

Now you give us the words to speak
Lord we sing of your truth in melody
All for your holy name, Lord in our weakness we now proclaim

You are perfect in your wrath, so perfect in your judgment
All who rise against your name will crumble at your feet
And You sent your only son our advocate of mercy
Through the risen spotless Lamb, now we’re called your own

Praise the king of love and justice
Calling all his people to rise up
He is clothing us in power
We will store your Word within our hearts

Praise the king who will return for all his remnant in the earth
We are yourscreditsreleased 05 January 2012

The Songs of Faith Youtube Round-Up – 1/5/12

We noticed that several artist had recently sang some covers of songs that deal with faith and God, and decided it was an opportune time time to round ‘em up and share them with you. Nothing too fancy here, just honest, heartfelt vocals with production values on the humble side of things. But in these cases, I suppose it’s the heart that matters more than the presentation. Enjoy.

Lyricks Shares an Alternative Version of Sam Ock’s “Simple Steps”

Ly to the ricks has uploaded a little unreleased gem to Youtube. Sam Ock released an album earlier this year called Simple Steps which included the title track of the same name. It seems that Lyricks was initially supposed to be a part of the song, but wasn’t able to meet the deadline and was left off the final version as a result. For those thinking he would have been a strong fit for the jazzy double-time song, you’d be right. Listen to what could have been below.
