I am grateful for songs that play such a huge part in directing my focus to Jesus. I recognise that truly knowing Jesus and growing in knowing Jesus is critical to the life of following Him. Not a Jesus of my own making, but based on the clear revelation of who He is in scripture. […]
Read More CD Songs: Who Do Men Say I Am – CommissionedFrom my mid-teens to my early twenties I dabbled a little in songwriting. There were tunes that came to my head that I was happy to craft lyrics for. The craft of getting a lyric would sometimes be the inspiration for the whole song. I loved that whole creative process. What those times taught me […]
Read More True Lyric: If You Love Somebody It Will Bring A SmileI was trawling through some material and came across this. Had to post it, it is a great combo of two brilliant Commissioned songs. Love Isn’t Love is a particular favourite of mine from back in the day! For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More DMCD Songs: Cry On and Love Isn’t Love – Commissioned ReunionSome songs are good reminders of the fact that it maybe all well and good telling God how much I love Him and I’m thankful, but actually all that good stuff I’m getting is meant to be displayed to humanity through acts of love, kindness and grace. Commissioned came out with a beauty of a […]
Read More CD Songs: Lord Jesus Help Me To Help Somebody – Commissioned ReunionMarvin Sapp. What a brother. He did some tribute to Marvin Winans that I posted a while ago. I came across this tribute a while ago that I didn’t post at the time – shame on me. So I’m making up for lost time. What you have to recall is that Sapp was actually a […]

Read More DMCD Songs: I’m Going On – Clark Sisters Tribute To CommissionedI came across the Commissioned song quite a few years ago and have loved it ever since. Taking a classic hymn and turning it into a heartfelt ballad to God to be drawn nearer – that’s what it’s got to be about right – drawn closer to Christ, knowing Him in His suffering, knowing Him […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Draw Me NearerI love songs that explore the workings of the writer in their relationship with God. Praise songs that identify characteristics of God are great and have their place, but often they can become somewhat routine and fall under a kind of rote memory exercise. When you’re listening to someone’s heart pouring out their relationship, there’s […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Bless My Soul – Marcus ColeToday is the seventh year wedding anniversary of the marriage of Authrine Elizabeth Burton and Christopher Luketon John Dryden. That marriage has been based on a love supreme. (So why didn’t I put that track on, eh? Wait for it.) that love is one that goes beyond affection and domestic bliss. It has lead to […]
Read More Charge It To My Head – CommissionedSo I have been blogging fairly well over at the other place – what with a general football review here and a Rafa reflection there not forgetting a big up to Law and Order right there, but over here it has not been as busy. Not to worry, there will be a change. It’s interesting […]
