Music Monday--This is God

I've been thinking all week about what song to put on here for Music Monday, just now, it finally dawned on me.

Phil Vassar is one of my favorite singers/songwriters, ever. Back in 1998, he helped Jo Dee Messina resucrate her then faltering career with two huge hits "Bye, Bye" and "I'm Alright". Phil has also written for Colin Raye and Tim McGraw (My Next 30 Years).

When I saw him on TV 12 years ago, celebrating Jo Dee's success, then as a songwriter, and then again 2 years later with his first video, "Carlene," I knew he would be successful.

He isn't the biggest name in country music, why he's not, I still don't understand. But, I find myself turning again and again to Phil's music. Some of his songs do sound the same, but then again, so do a lot of artists' songs.

Tonight, I was on YouTube searching one of my favorite new songs, "Lemonade," by Phil and I found a bunch of his other videos. The one that struck me most was "This Is God."

"This Is God" is a song that came out around eight years ago, and I cried the first time I heard it. It is such a powerful, and yet simply stated song that it bears repeating. I'm not a fan of speaking for God, but I'm pretty sure that if He were to pop down here and speak to us directly--collectively--as a group of human beings, this is exactly what He would say.

This is one of those songs I wish I had written, and I will never understand why it isn't a huge hit, but I digress.

I felt compelled to share it, the video might have trouble finishing, but you'll get the first two verses, chorus and entire meaning of the whole song--it's sincerely brilliant!

Here is the incredible song, "This is God," by the multi-talented, amazing Phil Vassar:



Phil is also one of the BEST performers I've ever seen, I've only seen him once, but it was one of the best, most entertaining, high-energy, FUN shows I've ever been too! So, if you ever get the chance, go see him!

Happy Music Monday, y'all, peace & God Bless!

Thank You, Lord, for the gift of music, family, friends and laughter! I hope I'm doing You proud, I'm trying!
