Phil Wickham

I think Phil Wickham has become my new favorite worship artist. To be honest, I had never heard of him until my friend Rochelle talked about him on her blog. And it still didn't motivate me to really listen to him until I went to the Christ in Youth Conference last summer, and the worship band did a song of Phil's called "Cannons." We started playing that song in our worship services at Life Church and it became an instant favorite.

The last few days, I've been playing Phil Wickham's CD "Singalong" constantly. I believe if you go to his website, you can still get it for free, which is awesome. The CD reminds me of what early Dashboard Confessional would have been like if Chris Carrabba was a worship artist or something. Passionate acoustic guitar playing, high male vocals, yep I think I got it pegged. Anyway, my favorites on this CD are:

Cannons (of course)
Beautiful
Jesus Lord of Heaven
Come Thou Fount

I am going to paint my new office this week, and I had an idea about what to do on the big wall. The whole office is going to be painted "Chipotle Red" (yes, the red paint you will see when you go into a Chipotle restaurant), and on that wall, I'm going to paint a blue "night sky" area with the moon and stars, and underneath will be the chorus for Cannons:

You are holy, great and mighty
The moon and the stars declare who You are
I'm so unworthy, but still You love me
Forever my heart will sing of how great You are

I'll post a picture when I'm done. If it looks good, of course. :^)
