Let It Be Jesus {review & giveaway}

April 21, 2015 by Kristin Leave a Comment

I really love live music.

“Let It Be Jesus” is Christy Nockels’ first live worship album, and I’m glad she decided to go this route. Especially because “Freedom Song,” the opening track on the album makes me want to get up and dance.

Honestly, I don’t like to dance, so you know a song is good when it makes me think about doing so.

I’ve been listening to “Let It Be Jesus” while I write and work at the computer and keep going back to my favorite first track, which is a celebration of salvation:“I was lost. Your mercy found me, called me from darkness, now I can see.”

Here is a list of all the songs ::

1. Freedom Song
2. My Anchor
3. Everything Is Mine In You
4. The Wondrous Cross
5. Let It Be Jesus
6. Who Can Compare
7. Jesus, Rock Of Ages
8. If You Never
9. Leaning On You, Jesus
10. Find Me At The Feet Of Jesus
11. Wonderful Name

All the songs point to Jesus and remind the listener what really matters. Having these songs playing while I go about life, whether working at my computer or driving, brings a fresh perspective.

________________

ABOUT THE MUSICIAN :: As a worship leader for many years, Christy Nockels has been an integral part of Passion Conferences since its inception in 1997. She’s seen first hand music sweep people into the presence of God in a powerful way. A pastor’s kid, who was born in Fort Worth and raised in Oklahoma, she grew up singing in church. She met her husband, Nathan, in 1993 at the Christian Artists Seminar in Estes Park, Co. They recorded an independent record with fellow worship leader Charlie Hall under the name Sons & Daughters that led to an invitation from Louie Giglio to participate in the first Passion conference in Austin.

Christy’s voice gained a national platform when she and Nathan formed the duo Watermark, recording four acclaimed albums before that musical season ended, paving the way for Christy’s solo career. In 2008, the couple moved to Atlanta to become part of Passion City Church, where she serves on the worship team with sixstepsrecords labelmates Chris Tomlin and Kristian Stanfill. The following year, Nockels released her acclaimed solo debut, “Life Light Up” and spent much of the next two years touring with Tomlin and Passion.

Find Christy and her music on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and iTunes.

    I love music! Thanks for the intro to Christy's new album. Right now I'm into anything that's reflective, Kari Jobe type stuff . I also really like Jason Gray's song, "Remind Me Who I Am."

    It constantly astounds me the talent of musicians who, like David, compose new and relevant songs in worship to our KING!

    I'm still enjoying Rend Collective's Art of Celebration album. Whenever I want to feel happy that pops in. I end up crying through some of the songs too. Always looking for new music to fill that need for worship!

    That's one of my most favorite (ever!) albums. I pretty much am alternating between it and Needtobreathe's new live album. So good. I'm glad you entered to win this one, Tabitha!

    I'm always interested in new Christian music…the boys and I love to alternate who picks the cd for on the way to school 🙂 It's also a good indication of how our morning has went…I occasionally override all choices and pick me favorites to improve my mood and patience w them after a particularly rough morning…then they become aware that my patience is wearing thin…a win/win…I improve my mood and they are wordlessly informed that they are very close to crossing the line 😉

    I can't get enough of that Soul on Fire song and really the whole album right now. Goodness, it's good. I'm amazed by all the great music Third Day has made. And, yes, Greater is a great song too – it's one we like to crank up loud in the mini van. 🙂 I love being able to give away music. I'm glad you entered!

So many of my Facebook friends shared lovely pictu So many of my Facebook friends shared lovely pictures of their daughters yesterday for the completely made-up National Daughters Day. Regardless, today I'm all in my feelings about my daughters. 

They're 16 and 8 right now. Both of their classes have been studying ancient Egypt and had a joint feast today. Sweet, huh? 

BUT THEN TIMEHOP GOT ME! Apparently, NINE years ago today, when Cate was a second-grader, her class had an Egyptian feast. I think about a particular picture of Cate and her friend Kilee from that day AND THEN IT CAME UP IN MY TIMEHOP TODAY. Facebook also told me that same day nine years ago, Monica and I became Facebook friends. We probably were at the Egyptian feast and decided we'd be friends because our girls were friends. Y'all, God has been so good to me through my friendship with Monica. Our families click in a special way with our three sets of same-aged kids, most of whom have been adopted. 

Anyway, my daughters. They're lovely, funny, and smart. I love that Cate helped Rachel with her Egyptian eye makeup this morning and made her a Nutella and banana sandwich. I love that they got to have a party today at school together. I love that even though they're eight years apart, they're sisters. 

I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I do. 💛

“Between Two Strangers” by @katewhite_author had such an intriguing plot that pulled me right in. I was close to figuring out how it was all intertwined, but I didn’t quite get there through all the twists. Good, quick read!

You’re a light wherever you go! And you like to You’re a light wherever you go! And you like to go! You’re always making friends, asking about our next adventure, wanting to know what’s next, and talking if you’re not singing. You’re the joy our family needed in 2015 and you continue to be the one who makes us laugh and love better than we did before we knew you. 

... You ask a million questions, know the words to thousands of songs, have so many ideas, and still try to sneak into my bed at night. You say I’m the best snuggler in this family. I’ll take it – and your hugs and love, although the middle of the night will never be my favorite time. 

Happy birthday to the girl who loves loudly!
