Matthew's Music Marathon

Maybe more "m's" might make Matt's music marathon more marvelous!

Before I get to the music, I just want to say that the Bible study went well. Everyone was surprisingly attentive the whole way through. That was a miracle itself, because usually Griffin loses focus easily. We went over the basics of the gospel, why Jesus had to die, what the resurrection means, what we have to look forward to, and much more. Next week we'll start going through Romans (with many side travels, I'm sure).

Alright! As you might have noticed, every once in a while I like to post a song that has really touched me. Last night I went through a plethora of music videos, and found some really cool songs. There are a lot more songs in my stash, and I feel like I'll never get around to posting them all at this rate, so I figured I'd get a bunch out there in one swoop!

First up is a song that I had heard once or twice and never thought much of it. But last night I really started to like it. Then I liked it even more! Now I play it all the time. Flame, Lecrae, and John Reilly in "Joyful Noise"


Apparently others feel the same way I do about this song. Check out these dudes wilin' out! Ain't nothin' like wilin' out to a good Christian song! Let's get it Christians!


I was looking through some Christian Techno songs, and I was just thinking about how much I like Christian Techno/Dance. I wish there was more good stuff out there. It seems like the Christian Techno thang never took off. If you know some good stuff, feel free to recommend me some! Here's World Wide Message Tribe's "The Real Thing". Remember that song?


While I was on the topic I saw an old song I knew: "Jumping in the House of God". I was hoping to find the official video, but I found something better: Little kids dancing to the song!

I love the prayer part. And of course the jumping.

This might be overkill, but here's the same song again with some different kids. Also cute, but you gotta admit, not quite as cute as the last one.
"Word to the Father" Hahaha! I love it!
I can only watch this one once though. That monkey gets hard to watch after a while.
Also, the girl in green is pretty good! I love the boy! He's so into it!
"Jesus died for myspace in heaven"! Love it!
When I watch this video I think, "God really loves his kids" This is what it's all about. Jesus died for this, man.


The other evening I was listening to the radio and looking at the stars and this song came on. It really touched me. Listen to the words!! I hope it shakes you like it shook me. I remembered the name and looked to see if it was on youtube. Good news! It is! Sara Groves - He's Always Been Faithful


Not exactly sure how I found this song, but it really lends itself well to impromptu drumming! You can do all kinds of stuff with this song. It's also cool because it's such a widely known song. I've heard it in gospel, hip hop, rock, all kinds of different genres. "I'll Fly Away"


I can go on, but 7 is the number of completion, and if you watched them all, you're probably completely burnt out. That really takes commitment! Thanks!
