How Deep How Wide

In July, my wife was ordained as a pastor! The following text was the preaching text for the worship service:

Ephesians 3:14-19 TNIV
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

What a beautiful passage! So, I ended up writing a song for Sara's ordination. It's called "How Deep How Wide"

Music at Mars

Mars Hill Bible Church is located in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The pastor's name is Rob Bell. If you've ever seen a Nooma video, then you'll know who Rob Bell is. The music they do at Mars Hill is pretty fun and not unlike what we do at Saint Matthew. You can check out the Music at Mars Myspace page and get a nice sample of the music.

The songs they've got playing on the page are:
"Let it Rise", "I Want Jesus To Walk With Me", "You Are" and my personal favorite, "Changed." Enjoy!

WOW, we had a great time on Sunday night at the concert. Keenan and I had tons of fun playing and singing together. We shared half a dozen original tunes as well as some brand new songs from Hillsong. It really was a wonderful, worshipful night. Praise God.

It was all recorded and I'll be mixing stuff down. The recording process was fun and it opens the door to more recording that we could be doing as a worship team. People get ready!
