i first heard this song at The Call 7-7-07 in Nashville - we had been out in the blazing sun all morning and afternoon, fasting, not much water, worshipping, jumping around, praying intensely, so at one point I laid down to take a power nap. When I woke up 20-30 minutes later, everyone around me was bawling...quite a strange thing to wake up to. Took me a while to figure out that John Mark McMillan had just finished playing and telling the story behind this song...very moving - I can't find a video of him telling it but if you know of one send it along!
i love this song for its childlike simplicity. i'm playing off off jesus culture/kim walker's version - i think their plucking pattern is on a electric guitar with some kind of repeat pedal on, but i translated it to an acoustic picking pattern, with a slight alteration in the bass
first song recorded actually in the stairwell!

*a note on the version: i am playing what misty played at The Call 7-7-07, before the track was released on cd. at the time, she included the portion from "dove's eyes" as part of the song.
*guitarist note for those trying to improve they skillz: the reason the chords sound more resonant and appealing is because each chord has notes that carry over from one to the next - look at the chord tabs, and notice which notes stay the same. in any song you're trying to do, play around with different chord shapes and see how you can move your fingers less from chord to chord (don't get stuck always playing the same version of the chord--boring!). this is especially helpful in guitar-driven acoustic worship settings - playing chords that share a lot of notes all the way through is less jarring to people's ears and keep a (especially if you have not developed as much finger-strength and have trouble flowing between chord changes).

finally, i just have to share this as well in honor of chinese new year.... you won't relent in chinese? hahaha....praise God for worship from "every tribe & tongue"
a couple years ago, my friend abby northcott asked me to record myself playing a misty edwards song for her. i put up a youtube video that a lot of people watched and loved, more people than i ever expected. i was surprised and blessed by all those who messaged me, commented, and shared their hearts (thank you!).
since then, God has been prompting my heart to start a blog to put up similar videos, simply as a service to those who long to connect with Him in worship. my heart has always been that, since God for His own reasons chooses to use my voice to bless others, i want it to reach as many people as possible. this is my offering.
here you will find simple videos of love songs to jesus. downloadable so you can worship whenever you like, with lyric and chord charts so you can play them yourself, if you like.
so to begin: the video that started it... (2 years, 10 inches of hair, and many bottles of hair dye ago). love song in honor of the eternal love of my life.
