This is a list of some of the music I've been listening to so far this summer. "Seeing You" is a great worship song by Matt Redman. The chorus says, "Worship starts with seeing you/ Worship starts with seeing you/ Our hearts respond to your revelation." These lyrics are a great reminder that worship is not based on some subjective feeling, but the on the objective revelation of God's Word, the revelation which tells us about the glory of a holy God and the wondrous news of the gospel.

"Swallowed in the Sea" and "Kingdom Come" are two of my new favorites off the new Coldplay CD, X&Y.

Two of these songs I heard for the first time during tubing excursions. I can still remember sitting on Canyon Lake, hearing "Daughters" for the first time, and thinking, "That's a good song." It still is. "She Don't Want Nobody Near" is from the Counting Crows Best of... CD, which I first heard for the first time while tubing on Jack's boat at Survival Camp.

"Indescrible" is one of my favorites off the "Passion '05 CD." The song talks about the glory of God, specifically through creation, and the wonder of how this "amazing God" sees the depths of our hearts and loves us.

The three songs "Sparkle," "Sway," and "Gravity," are all the only songs I have really heard by those band, but they're good songs.

"For All Who Will Follow" is the first song off Godsong's new album. It's a great song to wake up to in the morning.

"Never You Mind" is a great song from Semisonic that my brother Bobby and jammed to a lot back in the day.

"Safe" is a mellow Travis tune from The Invisible Band, which was a soundtrack of a summer long ago.

"Chase the Sun" is a song about going to California that used to be the theme song of our annual treks to CA. I put this on here because this summer we are chasing the sun for good and heading back to California to stay.

My Blakeys, where you from?
