We worship by faith. Worship is no more started up because we have pushed the faith button than our faith is started because we have pushed the worship button. Saving faith is not a different kind of faith than continuing faith. We do not step into or out of faith, nor do we step into or out of worship.

Andy Melvin’s worship album, The Human Engine Waits, is now available for download and pre-listening at independentbands.com. Let me know what you think…
Here is their blurb:
The Human Engine Waits, is a stunning compilation of original worship songs delivered in an indie tone. Capturing the grandness of our God in Scripture-laden songs, Andy’s artistic gifting for both the musical & lyrical aspects of songwriting help to usher the listener to the throne in authentic worship.
This new album by Andy Melvin will soon be a success. Andy is theologically solid, artistically gifted, and
just fun to spend time with. A college friend, Andy is now the worship pastor at The Austin Stone, where no-name Chris Tomlin is known to play from time to time.
The whole album is thoughtful, innovative and worshipful. Liner notes include Scriptures that inspired each song. Here are the lyrics from “Our God Above”:
come and fill us Father
with Your living water
cause these wells we’ve dug are dry
the world we have befriended
has left us empty handed
and only You can satisfy
as we return to You
our spirits are renewed
and our hearts are moved to worship You alone
our God above
we lift you up
to the place that You deserve
within our hearts
and we glorify
the Lord on high
You have no equal on the earth
No equal on the earth
Lord we claim the promise
that the work You started
You’ll be faithful to complete
so we trust in Your might as we offer our lives
as a living sacrifice of praise to You
and we! declare! our love! to You!
yeah we! declare! our love! to You!
