Hey everyone. I just got this from my friend Matt who videoed a concert I did with Claudia and Luis Prieto this past November in Juarez, Mexico. This song is one of the first I’ve written directly in Spanish (As opposed to translating it to Spanish). It was a wonderful evening of sharing. Claudia and Luis did a set before me. Some of the friends that came with me didn’t speak Spanish, so you can see them being translated to at times. Enjoy!
Friends,
We are excited to be starting the 11 city Everything Must Change Tour next weekend! There is still plenty of time to come be a part in your city (or the closest one to you). We are also very excited to be worshiping with people across the nation raising cries for justice and interceding for the world. There are some very challenging calls to worshipers throughout the Bible. Most recently I was reading Amos and in chapter five, after recounting many scenarios that seem to resonate with situations around the world today, Amos speaks the heart of God:
“I can’t stand your religious meetings.
I’m fed up with your conferences and conventions.
I want nothing to do with your religion projects,
your pretentious slogans and goals.
I’m sick of your fund-raising schemes,
your public relations and image making.
I’ve had all I can take of your noisy ego-music.
When was the last time you sang to me?
Do you know what I want?
I want justice—oceans of it.
I want fairness—rivers of it.
That’s what I want. That’s all I want.” -Amos 5:21-24, The Message
Let us repent from “ego-music” in the Church!
I certainly do not claim to have the answers, or have created the right music…but we are seeking. The song “Seek Justice” on the project, Songs For a Revolution of Hope, is just that. How do we do this God? Help us do this God! We are happy that others have been encouraged by the song and have incorporated it. Here is a version recorded by Aisea Taimani in Santa Monica, CA. There is more music on his MySpace page.
OK…no more rumors. My electronic collaboration is mixed and mastered and available for $5.49 for digital download! You can listen to the whole CD here on the CD website. There are also notes about the songs, and Lacey Brown, who wrote all of the beats for the project, will post some loops and notes soon.

Hey everyone. I’m in the throws of preparing for a big 11 city tour in which I will be leading worship and presenting concerts as part of Deep Shift’s “Everything Must Change” tour! Registration is possible all he way up to the day the conference begin’s, but there are some early registration perks. And, I posted full song previews to “Songs For a Revolution of Hope” and the new electronic EP I’ve been working on “Fill the Fields.” The albums will be available for digital download very soon, but you can take a listen right away!
