Phil Wickham

I can't seem to get enough of Phil Wickham...well, his music. This video was the first I had seen or heard of him & so I thought I'd share it. Nate got Drew the CD for Christmas & it hasn't left my stereo since.

We choose a song for each of our kids that kind of reflects our hopes for them, as well as is reminicent of the time in which they were born. (In other words, when they are teens they will groan because of our musical tastes!!) For Story we chose Phil Wickham's song "Messiah."

Messiah
Look, the road is narrow and hard to find
With secret battles inside our minds
Who can last
God we need your strength to find
Your light to guide us into the night
You're our only chance

Messiah, Messiah, Messiah save us

Run, I want to run to your open hand
But father I can barely stand
On my own
Now, like the children of Abraham
We're reaching out for the promised land
For our home

You are our only hope
You are our only hope
You are our only hope

Oh, and to head off your questions, Riley's song is "One Girl Army" by Five Iron Frenzy & Jed's song is "Beautiful Letdown" by Switchfoot. I can already hear their groans & they're over a decade away.
