about

My favorite time of the day is early in the morning with The Lord. I generally stumble down the stairs with crusty eyes, boil some water and brew a cup of "Carabello" coffee. I sit down with the Word of God and sip coffee in my living room. As I meditate on God's Word, my heart is softened, taught, and formed by the Holy Spirit. He is transforming my mind with the Truth. He is Truth. Generally, my weariness turns into joy and excitement as I read the accounts of Christ's life and His disciples writings. One particular morning, I got up from my time with The Lord to begin my day and I began to sing an interesting tune inviting others into the Family of God. It's a simple song with a simple offer: Do you want to be apart of the Family? Do you want to be in His love. Jesus made a way for all who confess Him as LORD. Turn away from sin so you can enter in to a Holy Family where His glory dwells. There is no one like our Father! There is no one who is greater! There is no one as good, who can satisfy every desire you've ever had. So surrender today and He will give you His Name. You'll become a son of God set apart to do His will.

lyrics

Do you want to be apart of the family
Do you want to be in His love
Jesus made a way for all who say
He is the Lord. He is the Lord.
Do you want to be apart of the family
Do you want to be in this love
Turn away from sin so you can enter in
To a Holy Family where His glory dwells

There is no one like our Father
No other Name that is greater
There’s no one as good, who can satisfy
Every desire you’ve ever had

So surrender. Call upon his Name
And He’ll give that Name to be your own
Son of God, set apart to do His will

All Delighted People EP
by Sufjan Stevens

supported by 4 fans who also own “The Family”

It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track. Angkasawan
