Folk/Christian/Acoustic Music - Nick Jones - With One Voice

Artist: Nick Jones
Song: With One Voice
Website: http://www.reverbnation.com/nickjonesmusic


Nick is a great friend of mine who has been a worship leader for a great church in Northern Virginia (McLean Bible Church) and works as the worship director for The Gathering - the college ministry. He has so much talent and I can honestly say he is just starting to "break the ice" when it comes to writing and making music. I know he has a lot stored up on his macbook from recording himself, but I am excited to hear more songs like this once he starts recording a few more. Nick has one of the best voices around...it's true! He studied music at Liberty University, is an awesome guy, and as you are about to find out, a very talented musician.

Feel free to share this song, I know he'd be pumped to have a lot of people hear it. I included the lyrics below - Nick doesn't have them posted anywhere yet, so there could be a few errors, but I think I got them all right since he has a clear voice that you can actually clearly understand what he's singing!



"With One Voice" Lyrics  
Artist: Nick Jones

Oh come and hear the call, the cry for us to stand
Lift your eyes and see the world
The task within our hands
Take heart and breathe
He is everything we need, we need now

Come and kneel before the one who gave it all for man
The curse of sin and all the lies have ended with that man
Jesus the son
Bringing life to all who come, we come yeah

Its with one voice to you our love we sing
There's no death your life could not redeem
Yeah we're running with your truth a melody of you
So it's with one voice to you our love we sing, we sing yeah

Now priase the one who calls the sinner into life
Hear the song breathe the word, dance within his sight
Jesus the son
Bringing life to all who come, we come yeah

And it's with one voice to you our love we sing
There's no death your life cannot redeem
Yeah we're running with your truth a melody of you
So its with one voice to you our love we sing, we sing

When all the world has turned its eyes the truth we hold within our lives
We lift you even higher 
We lift you even higher (x4)

And its with one voice to you our love we sing
There's no death your life could not redeem
Yeah we're running with your truth a melody of you 
To you we sing

It's with one voice to you our love we sing
There's no death your life can not redeem
Yeah were running with your truth a melody of you
So it's with one voice to you our love we sing, we sing

We sing (background vocals)

Lauren's College Graduation Portraits

Well, I know that a little time has gone by, but I wanted to share these photos I took of my sister the day of her graduation - towards the evening. I pretty much made her do it, but hopefully she enjoys some of the shots at least. I'm sure I'll be able to tell if one of them becomes her Facebook profile photo. Anyways, they were all taken in her neighborhood (well, old neighborhood now) and Wingaersheek Beach, in Gloucester, MA - near Rockport, Beverly, Wenham, etc. It was still a little chilly, especially on the beach!




 Though I think her face is a little dark, Lauren
preferred this one to the one where the sun is in 
her face!





And what would this collection be without a lovely finish?!


Congratulations to Lauren on graduating! If anyone has favorites, please share!

Lauren's Graduation Part II: Family Photography

Looking towards Gloucester/Rockport peninsula -
Saw this lighthouse on a walk we took around
Lauren's neighborhood. Lauren insisted I take a photo.

Mom, Lauren, and Dad on the beach

Me, Lauren, and Kyle on the Beach - I think between
graduation for Lauren, my wedding, and Kyle's wedding,
there will be plenty of pictures to choose from of
the three of us!

A lovely photo of Mom and Lauren!



Some senior portrait style photos of Lauren
will be next and last of this series!
