First of all Lara, all this time following you on twitter (@CraigBelieves) – and not one time have I commented on your blog. I’ve realized that that was really rude – so first, a sorry – I’m sorry I haven’t commented sooner – please forgive me. Second, I think it’s really precious that your hymn got repeated – it shows a mama’s love for her baby – and love for our Lord – bubbling up and spilling over – just the way it’s designed. I’ll try this with an old song by Twila Paris, Lamb of God, and if nobody else sings – at least it will keep me that much closer to God. Thank you for this today. God bless and keep you and each and every one of yours.

What a great idea!! I’m going to start applying this. Now to pick a song, there are so many!

Hillsong and Hillsong United…Chris Tomlin…man…I can enter a sanctuary in my heart…where I can worship with my arm lifted high, tears falling quietly, hips rocking and feet tapping as if no one is around…just me and Him. Beautiful thing!

If you haven’t heard LoveLite, you NEED to look them up. Amazing stuff. Also, Jenny & Tyler – not so much worship music, but great chill Jesus-stuff. Also, Brooke Fraiser and Phil Wickham. Love you sis!!

Lara, this is great and I had not thought about my random singing as passing the torch. My favorite worship artist right now are Kelly Minter, Rick Pino, Kari Jobe, and of course Travis Cottrell. Thanks for sharing.

Love this! Passing the torch of praise. I often think of it as “preaching to my own spirit” when I willfully try to sing a song in those hard or monotonous moments of the day…but it really is catching. Nice! Recently we’ve been stuck on “He loves us” by Crowder Band (sung by Travis Cotrell’s band at the LPL conference–awesome!!!). You know what others I like 😉

I’m a big fan of Hillsong United (it’s my “default” Pandora channel!), but I also like Matt Redman. We also listen to a Veggie Tales channel throughout the day. I think today’s song will be God of Wonders (because I know my 3yo knows it!). Singing throughout the day makes SUCH a difference! It’s hard to be grouchy about washing dishes if you’re singing a praise song while you do it!
