I see Your face in every sunrise
The colors of the morning are inside Your eyes
The world awakens in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say
You’re beautiful

I see Your power in the moonlit night
Where planets are in motion and galaxies are bright
We are amazed in the light of the stars
It’s all proclaiming who You are
You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful

I see you there hanging on a tree
You bled and then you died and then you rose again for me
Now you are sitting on Your heavenly throne
Soon we will be coming home
You’re beautiful, you’re beautiful

When we arrive at eternity’s shore
Where death is just a memory and tears are no more
We’ll enter in as the wedding bells ring
Your bride will come together and we’ll sing
You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful

I see Your face, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful
I see Your face, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful
I see Your face, I see Your face
I see Your face, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful

I came across this video interview of Tim Keller sometime this past week.  In this video, he discusses the New Atheist movement of Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, etc.  Watch his posture and composure as he talks about folks whom he disagrees with.  May we share truth in the same way.

“AND I’M A MORMON”… propaganda video from the Jesus Christ Church of Latter Day Saints.  This video is actually done really well.  They relate to you.  They are energetic.  They have charisma.  They seem to be welcoming.  And they are Mormons.  I have to be honest here, this is great propaganda.  In fact, if I wasn’t educated about the Mormon Church then I would probably be drawn to this lifestyle picture they paint in this video.

The Avett Brother’s great song, “Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise,” is a song that has sat alongside of me awhile now, especially as I have been reading the book, Radical, by David Platt.  It speaks of the temporary world we find ourselves living in, and moreover, how we don’t see how temporary it all is.  Watch this video of the song and then watch the making of it below.

…and the making of the “Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise.”  It really is amazing to see the artistic ability that was put into this video.  I hope you enjoy today’s Saturday Morning Cartoons.

My wife hates it, but I could listen to rap/hip hop the rest of my life and be content.  It probably has a lot to do with it being my music of choice from the time I was in middle school until I finished college.  Unfortunately, today’s rap music (I am using hip hop and rap interchangeably here because I don’t really know the difference) is not worth listening to because of the vulgarity, ridiculousness, anti-manhood and anti-truth messages that it often presents.

Thankfully, for someone like myself who loves rap music and Jesus, there has been a great resurgence of Reformed Christian Hip Hop music.  If you like rap like me, but can’t stand the filth, then check out these guys:

• Flame
• Lecrae
• Trip Lee
• Tedashii
