NarroWay: All Things Work for Good - RELEASED!!!
Woo-hoo! - the album has been completed and we have the first set of CDs in our possession!
God has been so graceful to both pull together a great team as well as blessing us with what we think are some good songs. We give Him all glory!
I though it might be a good time to give you some of the rationale and back-story on the album songs, so without further ado, here are the songs with the backstory down below the links:
1) All Things © JD Longmire 2007 - based on Romans 8:28, this songs second verse is a mini-testimony of God's healing power. My wife Amy (who sings the 2nd verse) was stricken with a debilitating disease that caused excruciating pain - she bowed to the Lord's will...and He healed her! Hallelujah!
2) Fixed on the Prize © JD Longmire 2007 - based on Philippians 3:14 and 1 Corinthians 9:24 this song was the very first one I wrote for the group!
3) Devotion © JD Longmire 2007 - well, what is there to say about this song except WOW - my 11 year old wrote and sings this song - what a powerful testimony! I am SO proud of him! (And in case my baby girl is reading this, I am SUPER proud of you, too! :) ).
4) Soli Deo Gloria © JD Longmire 2007 - Latin for "Glory to God Alone" - this song is based off of 1 Cor. 10:31 and Romans 15:7 as well as being of the principles of the Reformed tradition, my doctrinal foundation.5) Here Am I © JD Longmire 2007 - based off Isaiah 6:8 and defines the character of the Savior who calls us.
6) Sweet Spirit © JD Longmire 2007 - take a look here for some of the inspiration - He is a Sweet Spirit, indeed!
7) Then You Shall be Saved © JD Longmire 2007 - almost a word for word transcription of Romans 10:8-10 with a little 3:23 thrown in for good measure! :)
8) Who the Party's for © Charlie Thornburg 2007 - this song was a blessed addition, granted to us by our brother and new team member, Charlie Thornburg! Charlie sings lead - Amy and I do backup vocals with Amy on violin - see if you notice the reference to 2 classic Christmas hymns... Perfect for the Christmas season!
9) Joy in the Morning! © JD Longmire 2007 - based on Psalm 30 and most of Revelation! :)
10) All Things (remix) © JD Longmire 2007 - this is a tribute to the talent of our co-producer and sound engineer extraordinaire, Brian Anderson!
And speaking of Brian, I did want to mention that I left out 2 important credits in the Instruments section - Brian played keyboard (and pretty much everything else!) on the remix and my lovely and talented wife, Amy played all the violin/fiddle parts on all the songs.
Sorry, folks - old age complicates things!
One more time, thanks be to He who inspires our creativity and has given us the honor of image-bearer. We pray that these simple songs gladden your heart and pays tribute to our 3-in-One God. Praise His Name forever!
In Christ,
JD Longmire
