How Great Thou Art! The Roadshow 2018

Oh what a night praising our good, good God! Mathew West, Natalie Grant, Zach Williams, Bethel Music and For King and Country.  

Well, I only got to take 2 pictures with my camera.  We went through security and I had to take my camera back to the car.  I can put different lenses on my camera and that is a no, no I guess.  Then at the concert the performers said they wanted everyone taking pictures and posting them.  Guess they had to be cell phone pictures.  It was a little traumatic but I survived. My picture taking just wasn't the same. 

Mike got comfy while we waited to go in.  He is so handsome! We had a fast pass so we didn't have to wait in line for hours. 

 Now cell phone pictures!

 How Great Thou Art!  Click to listen to a little of the song.

Bethel Music was great but didn't play long enough.  Familiar songs because we sing them at Zion Spokane.  That's the thing, when there are multiple artists you don't hear any of them for a long time.

 Zach Williams.  I wasn't familiar with many of his songs but he was great!

 Natalie Grant was good but she just sang way to loud.

 Oh, so good to see so many people praising God.  If everyone that was at the concert would bring one person to Jesus it was change the world. It would be like dominoes! Let's do it.

 Matthew West is a favorite of mine.

It's Time for Us To Do Something!

 Grace Wins EVERY time!

 Matthew West had his father come up and pray for the crowd.

If people can go crazy at sporting events they for sure can do this praising God! This is our War Cry. It felt so so good!  

Shine Fest 2017 Praising God Through Music

I have to say this is a really hard blog post to write.  Words on a page can't come close to this experience.  A couple thousand Christians listening to Christian bands playing and praising God.  Talking to each other about our faith, trials and the ultimate victory we have because we are forgiven.  Reminds me of the song, Holy Spirit You are Welcome Here.  The spirit of God filled Riverfront Park this night.  We spent 5 1/2 hours at the park and the time flew by.  We really didn't want it to end.  

We got to the park to hear Jordan Feliz.  He was about half way done with his set.  There were a lot of bands but the four headliners were on the main stage and each played a long time.  Jordan Feliz was the first of the four.  Down By the River is a favorite.  Beloved too!

Jordan was taking selfies with the crowd.  I wasn't going to wait in line for that so I took a picture of him taking selfies with someone else.  Mike wasn't familiar with Jordan Feliz but he is a fan now.

Matt Maher! Lord I need you.  Every hour I need you!

Amen to this!

You are not alone! For sure.

Matthew West.  Grace Wins Every Time!

Praising God.  Holy Spirit you are Welcome Here!

It was just amazing seeing all the people that came out for this mega concert.

Matthew West brought this little girl up on stage and introduced her to his band.  Her sign said she was his number one fan.  Her shirt said "Child of the one true King". He asked her if she believed that and she said yes!

Here we go.  Mercy Me.  It was hard to get good pictures of Mercy Me because they had a light show going on behind them and it was dark out.

Grace Got You! You should listen to it on You Tube! Have you ever met those who keep humming when the songs through?

We Win!  We have God!  We have eternal life.

The Cross had made you Flawless.

Dear Younger Me!

Click on the link below to hear my recording of Even If.  A powerful emotional song based on struggles the lead singer has had coming to grips with the fact that his son has had Type 1 diabetes his whole life and the journey they are on.  I  just couldn't record the whole thing.   The good part was coming up and I had to sing praises.  You can watch the whole thing on You Tube.  

Even If by Mercy Me

So much joy

Some up beat songs to end with.  Shake is about celebrating our relationship with God.  Shout it out and dance away.

He's Greater.  Greater is the One living inside of me than he who is living in the world.

Oh what I night.  Mercy Me sings a song called, You Found Me.  I am so glad He did. He found me!
