Popped into everyones’ least favourite Christian bookstore yesterday during my lunch hour. I bought some CDs for some new music. I know a lot of these songs will have music in my Soul Survivor Songbook 3 so it shouldn’t be a big deal to get them ready to play at church. Details below:

Apparently there’s a new songbook out last month – Soul Survivor Songbook 4 – which will be another purchase sometime in the future, I guess. Looks like they’ve finally jazzed up their cover art, too.

I bought the “Survivor Songs” album as I already have the sheet music for the songs and I’m keen to get some more contemporary praise music from a source which has served us well so far. This particular album has a fair bit of ‘emerging’ songwriters on it, too, which could be good.
The Passion ’06 CD was purchased to provide some more alternatives to our current sources. I already own the Passion ’05 album, which is good, but other than some of the Chris Tomlin songs they were a bit unknown and unapproachable. Hopefully this album will continue my education into American praise music that isn’t too over the top.
The Chris Tomlin live album I bought because it was a bargain. Really a long EP rather than a full CD, it was priced accordingly. I’d heard a lot of the songs already on the radio. It is an encouragement to hear so many people singing together worshipping our Lord. Only a month until Chris’ much anticipated new album, “See the Morning,” comes out.
