This is a practice run of Phillips Craig and Dean's Classic, YOUR GRACE STILL AMASES ME, that I am singing today in morning worship. I've since worked out the kinks in the song, especially on the "E" Vowels which sound very whiney and lack power. I am as prepared as I can be and must remember to focus on leading people to worship, and not so much a vocal performace, which is always a challenge. Perhaps in a later post i will have some musical backup .
Come near and hear the sound of my soul through the writing on the page, as seen on the screen.These words do not age, not one sentence, or phrase...Dont appraise or be afraid of them,let your consciousness be raised by them! let your mouth join in praise and jubilation!these psalms I write, are for the nations regardless of your situation.

When God Ran (worship video w/ lyrics)
Working on this song also... LOVE it... Imagine God Running...
"Your Grace Still Amazes Me" Phillips, Craig & Dean
Just learned this song after MANY MONTHS of consistent practice. I had so much difficulty singing it, and then one day I was led to discover that the song is NOT so much SUNG, as it is PRAYED. THAT'S when everything comes together. When Im in that place of worship that I call "the cocoon" where everything seems to drop away and it's just you and God, it's a transcendent place that is indescribable and where these lyrics take on a power that is incredible.
Amazed, by Phillips Craig and Dean, from the CD "Top Of My Lungs", 2006
I cannot wait to lead morning worship with this beautiful song of adoration. I'm currently practicing it with my pastor/vocal coach. I am so fortunate that my voice fits into the key of these gifted singers.
