Aw, we all know this song. This is a sweet version by Christy Nockels from the compliation CD "Sing Over Me" (check it out, it's cool for both children and adults).

I'm on the music advisory panel for Worship Leader magazine's SongDiscovery sampler CD, and I ran across this wonderful song by Allie Lapointe. Exquisite. So I made this video (slideshow) for the song. Really pretty, very well-crafted words, not your usual "I love you, Lord, you are fabulous". Very personal lyrics, I like that. Oh, and on top of the nice lyrics, an achingly beautiful voice. Thank you, Allie!

Oh, Allie wrote this song, and it's on her wonderful CD called "Treasures".

Most people have no idea who they were created to be, nor what their own unique gifts and talents are. So how can we recognize and affirm these things in others—especially if we were not encouraged ourselves as we were growing up?

In The Language of Blessing, Joe Cavanaugh gives us practical tools to recognize our own gifts and those of others and to use our newfound “language” to bless the ones we care about, breaking a destructive generational cycle and setting a new course for our loved ones’ futures.
