At the end of January, Phil Wing – one my groomsmen, released his latest album To Find You. If you are a andygarrett.net blog reader and haven’t gotten your hands on a copy, I recommend you pick up one here.
I might be impartial because I know the guy, but like his previous album Phil has written some very beautiful lyrics focusing on living lives of worship (Romans 12) and who we are in Christ. I am challenged by the lyrics in “Sing Through Me” on how I am living my life that allows Christ to sing through me.
But there’s another aspect of the album that has touched me in differently. Phil and his wife Amber are currently in the process of adopting a child from Ethiopia. This album gives glimpse into the spiritual journey Phil & Amber have been on to come to this point, as well as how God is preparing them for it in songs like “To Find You.”
As a father-to-be, I can relate in my own way to those feelings of anticipation and excitement. As I listen to “I Still Am”, I can’t help but think of a picture of father protecting, leading, teaching their child, and how it excites me to play that role, but also the hope I can display a godly example of being dependent on God to my child as well to protect, lead, and teach us, because He Still Is.
Thanks Phil, for allowing God to use and Sing Through You. I’m excited for you guys.
as a side note… the new album by The Fray is good as well.
