Dads,
Trust me on this. Great Christmas present idea that tells about the Christmas Present that all Christmas presents remind us of - Jesus. It is a CD by Todd Agnew called - Do You See What I See. You can get the whole CD via mp3 downloaded from Amazon for $5 or the CD for $10. It'll be worth every cent. You can listen to a preview of each song by clicking on the title of this blog (linked to Amazon).
I could have (maybe) came up with a really good description of this CD that would make you want to go out and buy it, but I'll just show you a review from Amazon.com - by Brenda Branson (whoever you may be, thanks for making this blog post much simpler) ...
"If you haven't purchased Todd Agnew's new CD "Do You See What I See," please get it today and get several copies. First, you'll wear out one CD pretty quickly, and secondly, you'll want all of your friends and family to have a copy. This is not just another seasonal CD with good Christmas music. It is the story of real people who encountered God when Jesus came to earth as a baby. The songs portray their struggles, faith, awe and wonder, and celebration. But this is not just a CD telling the story of a baby in a manger--it is the story of redemption, of God reaching down in time to rescue His people, of Jesus giving His life for His bride, of His return to rule and reign. You can't listen to this CD without encountering God and experiencing a mixture of emotions that range from deep worship to grief and repentance to great joy and dancing, and anticipation of His return. The music is absolutely beautiful, but what takes my breath away is the passionate love for God that comes through in each lyric and melody from the heart of Todd Agnew as he becomes the door for listeners to encounter "God with us" and respond in worship as we experience God's goodness and light in a world so full of darkness and evil. Blessing and honor to God for the gift of His Son to us, His gift of music and creativity bestowed on Todd, and deep gratitude that he would share that with us."
Here is an excerpt from Todd Agnew's blog post regarding the CD:
"If you don’t know about the record, it’s basically written as a musical. There is an opening song and a closing song. But all the other songs are written from the perspective of the people actually in the Christmas story. What would it have been like to really be a part of this? So, there’s a song from Mary, one from Joseph, even from the angels, and Simeon. I had some wonderful people sing on this record: Christy Nockels, Anthony Evans, Mike Weaver (Big Daddy Weave), Michael O’Brien, Joy Whitlock, and many others. I really hope you enjoy it."
My favorite songs from the CD are: This is All I Have to Give, He is Called Jesus, Did You Know, and Bethlehem Dawn... I could go on... my daugter's favorite - Glory to God... every song is great!
Hope you enjoy and you can thank me after the first time you and your kids yell out the song "Glory to God" as you drive down the road with your windows down.
