*Trailer Alert* Clash Of The Titans

I remember watching the original movie when I was a kid….sometimes remakes really suck…but I don’t think this film will have any problems out shining the original film.

Album Preview – Phil Wickham “Cielo”

Today, I had the opportunity to preview a song from Phil Wickham’s upcoming album, “Heaven and Earth” (Releasing on November 17^th). The song is titled “Cielo”, and tells the story of a person entering the gates of Heaven, and his response to what he is seeing.  I was not expecting to get misty eyed when first hearing the song, but that’s exactly what happened!  The song is played in a lower key, which seems kind of different, because when you think of songs about Heaven, your mind tends to wonder to songs like “I can only imagine”…which is made more dynamic by the higher key it is played in.

But the dynamics of this song is not affected by the lower key, instead, I feel like it makes the song more personal and intimate.  This song resonates in me the fact that even in Heaven, our desire to worship and be with God will still burn passionately, if not more than it does now.

I’m excited to hear the whole album, and as soon as I do, I’ll write a quick review about it.  Until then, here are the words to this amazing song…I know you don’t have the track to listen to just yet..but even still, the words of this song-story are amazing!  I can so imagine everyone singing this song in Church as well as Heaven….

 

Cielo (Sky/Heaven)

 

I’m walking through the bright white gates,

Breathing in and out Your grace.

All around me melodies rise,

Echoing the joy inside.

So I start to sing…

 

But I can’t sing loud enough,

I can’t sing loud enough,

When I’m singing for You, my God.

 

With a thunder roll and brilliant light,

Your glory bursts and the Heavens shine.

Saints and Angels stand in awe,

Captured by the beauty of it all.

So I fall to my knees…

 

But I can’t bow low enough,

I can’t bow low enough,

At the vision of You, my God.

 

I can’t hold it all inside,

I’m reaching for the One who brought me out of death and into life….

 

But I can’t lift my hands high enough,

I can’t lift my hands high enough,

When I’m reaching for you my God.
