Corey will need to provide the description.

"Let the Praise Begin" Words and music by Gerard Faucheux Recorded by David Smith of Icon Music Studio. Years ago, my morning rides to work, headed east on Hwy 20, inspired this song. This morning's ride was so beautiful, I couldn't resist bursting images with my phone. The quality isn't the greatest, but hopefully helps to explain my fascination with sunrises. Peace, Gerard

John Michael Talbot delighted the audience when he performed at the UCMVA Unity Awards in New Orleans on October 25, 2008. In this clip, he enlists the help of the audience to sing and pray his version of Psalm 104: Lord, Send Forth Your Spirit. He then discussed the state of the monastery since the fire on April 28 of this year, thanking people for their help in supporting the rebuilding project. His final performance of Come Home Little Children from the Living Water album, was preceded by an invitation to re-examine where we are in relationship with God and to take the opportunity during the song to Come Home, to come back to Jesus.
