Then Sings My Soul Saturday - Stephen Curtis Chapman

If you are joining us for the first time this week for 

"Then Sings My Soul Saturdays"... 

Welcome! 

You may have jumped over from the announcements on the Christian Women Online site.  Just to let you know how "Then Sings My Soul" works,  click here to see the directions from the Inaugural Edition.

For the last two weeks, I've been promising to post the details of how to win some great music in an upcoming giveaway.  Well finally, here's the scoop you have been waiting for!

On September 13, 2008, I will be giving away several CD's. They include:

Awaken by Natalie Grant

Hiding Place by Selah

Hello Love by Chris Tomlin

and Stephen Curtis Chapman's Greatest Hits.

There will probably be more, I just need to check with Lifeway to see what is on sale! :-)

Here's how you can win some of this fabulous music. For each of the following things you do, your name will go in a hat. The more of these "assignments" you complete, the more chances you will have to win! 

1. Write a TSMS post and sign up on Mr. Linky. (You can sign up this week Aug. 30, next week Sept. 6, and the following week Sept. 13, and your name would go in the drawing 3 times.)

2. Post a comment on my TSMS post. (Again, you can do this today and for the next two weeks, which would include your name in the drawing 3 more times.)

3. Post the button for Then Sings My Soul on your sidebar. Be sure you send me an email to let me know you have it posted. This will also put your name in the drawing. You can find the html code under the button on my side bar.

4. Write a post about TSMS sometime during the next two weeks encouraging people to come participate. Be sure you send me an email with the link to your post too. This will put your name in the drawing also.

So, your name can go into the drawing a total of 8 times.

I will draw the names at

midnight on September 13, 2008, and post the winners then!

I will draw as many names as I have CD's to give away, which is at least four, but maybe more! So you have lots of chances to win.

I've been highlighting these artists for the last few weeks. To see the post on Natalie Grant, go here. For the Chris Tomlin post, go here.

 

This week, I'm featuring Stephen Curtis Chapman. He is probably one of my favorite artists of all time. Almost every one of his songs is awesome! And the lyrics are always so incredible.

This song by him is called Miracle of the Moment. I love it because it talks about wonders and miracles, two things I'm quite fond of here at Signs, Miracles and Wonders :-)

Here are the lyrics:

It's time for letting go

All of our if only's

'Cause we don't have a time machine and even if we did

Would we really want to use it?

Would we really want to go change everything?

'Cause we are who and where and what we are for now

And this is the only moment we can do anything about

Chorus:

So breathe it in and breathe it out

Listen to your heartbeat

There's a wonder in the here and now

It's right there in front of you

And I don't want you to miss

The miracle of the moment

There's only one who knows

What's really out there waiting

In all the moments yet to be

And all we need to know

Is He's out there waiting

To Him the future's history

And He has given us a treasure called right now

And this is the only moment we can do anything about

And if it brings you tears

Then taste them as they fall

And let them soften your heart

And if it brings you laughter

Then throw your head back 

And let it go, let it go

You gotta let it go

Listen to your heartbeat

Don't miss the wonders and miracles all around you this week!

Blessings to you,

Amy
