SCC News!

I've been gone a long time! Facebook has just about killed my blog... lol!

I know some (or most) of you probably already know about the new SCC album, but I wanted to spread the news here as well.
























New disc is scheduled for release on November 3rd. Titled "beauty will rise", this one promises to be just as inspiring and personal as all of Steven's work. Maybe even more so considering the place in his life where he has been when writing it. I don't know. All I know is that I will definitely be in line to buy it as soon as I can. First single to be released is called "heaven is the face". I've included the lyrics below. Very personal stuff here. Can't wait to see how this ministers to so many!


























“Heaven Is The Face” by Steven Curtis Chapman:

Heaven is the face of a little girl
With dark brown eyes
That disappear when she smiles
Heaven is the place
Where she calls my name
Says, “daddy please come play with me for awhile”
God, I know, it’s all of this and so much more
But God, You know, that this is what I’m aching for
God,You know, I just can’t see beyond the door
So right now
Heaven is the sound of her breathing deep
Lying on my chest, falling fast asleep while I sing
And Heaven is the weight of her in my arms
Being there to keep her safe from harm while she dreams
And God, I know, it’s all of this and so much more
But God, You know, that this is what I’m longing for
God,You know, I just can’t see beyond the door
But in my mind’s eye I can see a place
Where Your glory fills every empty space
All the cancer is gone
Every mouth is fed
And there’s no one left in the orphans’ bed
Every lonely heart finds their one true love
And there’s no more goodbye
And no more not enough
And there’s no more enemy (no more)
Heaven is a sweet, maple syrup kiss
And a thousand other little things I miss with her gone
Heaven is the place where she takes my hand
And leads me to You
And we both run into Your arms
Oh God, I know, it’s so much more than I can dream
It’s far beyond anything I can conceive
So God, You know, I’m trusting You until I see Heaven in the face of my little girl


Here is SCC's announcement of the new recording! Very special stuff here!
