"Great is Your love and justice God. You use the weak to lead the strong.You lead us in the song of Your salvation. And all Your people sing along" - Chris Tomlin ,  Your Grace Is Enough (Arriving Album Version) .  Chris Tomlin were at the Youth Specialties convention when his band was asked to to back up a guy named Matt Maher who originally wrote and composed this song. What is "Grace"? For most Christians, we define "grace" as God's unmerited favor. It is kindness from God that we don't deserve. An unconditional gift!

I'm looking for a topic to write on this blog today and I stumbled on a song in Youtube entitled "O Praise Him" by The David Crowder Band .  I first heard about this band back in New Zealand when they performed at the annual Parachute Music Festival usually held in Mystery Creek , Hamilton, New Zealand. If you love the new breed of christian songs, you will surely like this band from Waco, Texas . This band began when David Crowder , from Texarkana, Texas, found out that almost half of the students of Baylor University, a christian university were not attending church. He and Chris Seay started University Baptist Church (Waco, Texas) in 1995 while he was still a student. Crowder led worship there and continued to do so throughout the year. The church's congregation grew, as did the band's lineup. The chorus goes "O Praise Him! He is holy!" Wow, a huge reminder and that's what I needed to hear today. There are time in our lives that we str
