Sing! In Christ Alone. Live at the Getty Music Worship Conference – Keith & Kristyn Getty and Friends

This is the fifth live album that Keith & Kristyn Getty have released from their annual Sing! conferences (one for each conference).

Milk & Honey Deluxe Edition – Crowder
****
Crowder’s album Milk & Honey was one of my favorites of 2021. Here’s my review of the album. Now, a Deluxe edition of the album has been released, with six new tracks. They are:
King – which features Maverick City Gospel Choir. The one new song on the expanded edition.
Milk & Honey – a remix from Paradis.
God Really Loves Us – which was recorded live with Chidima at the 2022 Passion Conference.
In the House – radio version.
In the House – acoustic version.
In the House – recorded live at Austin City Limits.
I enjoyed the additional songs, but really see no reason for releasing three additional versions of “In the House”, Crowder’s latest single.
Favorite songs on Deluxe Edition:
King
God Really Loves Us
- i need you (to be wrong). Switchfoot recently released a remixed and reimagined version (by lovelytheband) of their song “i need you (to be wrong)”.

[Chorus]
This is the day that the Lord has made
We will rejoice as we lift His name
This is the day that the Lord has made
Come and rejoice, we will rejoice and be glad in it
[Verse 1]
Whether the sun will shine, whether the skies will rain
I know that You are good and this is the day You made
Whether in life or death, whether in joy or pain
I know this truth remains that this is the day You made
[Chorus]
This is the day that the Lord has made
We will rejoice as we lift His name
This is the day that the Lord has made
Come and rejoice, we will rejoice and be glad in it
[Verse 2]
Now I can walk in faith, You will protect my way
Your every work is good and this is the day You made
I am a child of Yours, You are the One who saves
I am redeemed by love and this is the day You made
[Chorus]
This is the day that the Lord has made
We will rejoice as we lift His name
This is the day that the Lord has made
Come and rejoice, we will rejoice and be glad in it
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
This is the day, come and sing your praise
For the Lord now reigns on the throne of grace
Soon is the day He will bring us home
And we have this hope for we are His own
This is the day, come and sing your praise
For the Lord now reigns on the throne of grace
Soon is the day He will bring us home
And we have this hope for we are His own
This is the day, come and sing your praise
For the Lord now reigns on the throne of grace
Soon is the day He will bring us home
And we have this hope for we are His own
[Chorus]
This is the day that the Lord has made
We will rejoice as we lift His name
This is the day that the Lord has made
Come and rejoice, we will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day that the Lord has made
We will rejoice as we lift His name
This is the day that the Lord has made
Come and rejoice, we will rejoice and be glad in it
Come and rejoice, we will rejoice and be glad in it

Whether the sun will shine, whether the skies will rain
I know that You are good and this is the day You made
