Andrew Peterson asks that question in one of his songs. Apt.
The love of God is astonshing. What King Jesus accomplished on Good Friday is incredible, terrible, wonderful. This song speaks of that.
The Blood of Jesus. When it’s all you have it’s all you’ll ever need.
May 13 to be exact. Get excited, people. Plan your life around the event that will showcase the amazing vocal and songwriting talents of one Eric Peters.
He’s good. He’s top notch. He’s the berries.
He’s Eric Peters.
Details here. More later (and more on the exciting location to follow as well).
For now, I shall entice you with one song and one song only from EP. Don’t forget you can get Free EP songs for FREE right here.
Does he seem scary?
We love this guy. Get his latest record, Chrome, and other EP items of excellence, here.
You have heard me mention Eric Peters many times both here and in person –if we’ve talked about music I like (OK, love). Here’s a chance to gobble up some EP for free. Bonus: My kids LOVE the first song offered in this bundle, “Radiate.” Yours probably will too. It’s hard not to.
OK, after writing that, I asked my five year old if he still liked Radiate. His reply.
“Well, now my favorite is ‘The Middle Of The Storm I Am,’ but we still love Radiate, too!”
The song he refers to, “The Storm,” is the second free offering in this free bundle of free goodness.
People say “moms are heroes,” but I think they usually mean this in a less emphatic, penetrating way. Moms are truly heroes when they shatter the darkness by pouring the light of the love of Jesus into the lives of their children. I absolutely love this song in every way. Truth, beauty, and goodness. And I love how it validates the beautiful life my wife lives and the terrible war she makes everyday on the darkness. I love how it names her for who she is. We all need to be named. Thanks, AP.
Another great thing about this song is that it means more, not less, than what is said above. It says so much about so much.
“Lean into something lasting…”
I’ve been watching these videos (and others) this morning and am amazed at how much Rich still has to say to me. You too? I never met Rich in this life, but he’s been an influence for good and for God in my life.
And the rest…
Eric Peters is one of my all-time favorites. I try not to overwhelm you with my EP fandom, but this song must be posted at least once every New Year. Ha Ha, indeed.
Oh! If you haven’t heard EP’s short interview with Ben Shive (it’s hilarious) then check it out.
There are things I wasn’t crazy about in the movie, The Nativity Story (what have you done to the Magi?!). But one thing I loved about it was that it helped connect me to the story in an emotional way that slipped past my “I’ve heard it all before” gatekeepers. I love that.
This is one of those things where they take scenes from the movie and put it with a song. Andrew Peterson’s “Labor of Love,” sung by Jill Phillips. I was in tears from the beginning, where they hear the street preacher declaring the good news. “From the river to the ends of the earth…”
Andy Gullahorn sings a lovely song he co-wrote with the amazing Jason Gray. It’s not straight-forward, you may even say it’s a bit post-modern, but in a way it’s deeply truthful. (Does that make sense?)
More on this song from Jason and Andy here.
A must-own for Advent and Christmas! 5-7 thumbs up. My kids love it. My wife loves it. Myself loves it. Mylanta loves it?
