Monday Morning Music
If I could only listen to two Christmas CD’s each year (and thankfully no one has made such a scrooge-ish imposition) I would pick Handel’s Messiah (not just about Christmas I realize) and Andrew Peterson’s Behold the Lamb of God (also not just about Christmas).
I started listening to Andrew Peterson when he was opening for Caedmon’s Call and had one self-made CD to his credit. He’s one of my favorites and Behold the Lamb of God is, in my opinion, his best album and one of the best Christian albums I’ve ever heard. One of these days I’ll see Behold the Lamb of God live. For this year’s tour dates go here.
In the spirit of Advent, I’ll be posting a few of the songs from the album each Monday leading up to Christmas.
Here’s the opening song “Gather Round Ye Children Come.”
And here’s the delightfully raspy Derek Webb singing “Deliver Us.”
