So as you might have gathered, I’ve spent some time on the blog catching up with the Walter Hawkins tribute concert that took place earlier this year. Thanks to my sister who sent me a link to these videos showing at least one of his last performances fittingly singing ‘Marvellous’. Fitting because in most people’s […]
Read More Marvellous – Walter Hawkins’ Last Public PerformanceYep, might as well make the most of the roll that we’re on with this tribute business – it’s quality music, it’s gospel music, it’s what I love and I would only share with you what I love. I’m that kind of friend. (See what I did there?? Well you would if you were into […]
Read More Walter Hawkins Tribute – MarvellousAhh a nice refreshing song service/chorus medley type of thing to get the old jumpy jumpy deal going on. Wonderfully lead by one of me old favourites. Be encouraged and get to stepping. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More Marvin Winans’ Song ServiceNot that long ago I put on a song by Mr. Smith and referred to a song he did which I really loved. This is that. Do I love anything better than the Lord’s guide to prayer? Not really. Everything is encapsulated in this from acknowledging to requesting to confessing to relationships vertical and horizontal […]
Read More The Lord’s Prayer – Michael W. SmithJust some great devotional music for the soul. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd

I love this version though, sometimes slowing a song down makes it less about hype and jumpy-shouty stuff – there’s room for that, don’t get me wrong. When you slow it down, though and almost walk through […]
Read More It Is To You – Byron CageJesus Christ. No greater example have we than he. No better expression of humanity than his. No purer portrayal of living than seen in him. Summed up in it’s glory and grace by this song by the man Graham Kendrick. I love the lyrics, I love its focus and I love the simplicity and complexity […]
Read More Meekness and Majesty – Graham KendrickWhen I was growing up in the family home in the 1980’s and 1990’s, I was only vaguely aware of the Contemporary Christian Music scene. One of the names I came across in that there scene was Michael W. Smith. Not that I heard any of his material. I was far too busy with other […]
Read More Breathe – Michael W. SmithCredit where credit is due is always a beautiful thing and so it was a pleasure to come across this particular clip of Marvin Sapp briefly recalling his dream coming true in recording with Marvin Winans. The song itself is a tribute to the process that comes from inspiration and how fitting those words and […]
