One of our goals in 2009 is to eliminate barriers between you and the music we make. There’s lots of good new stuff to come too: we’re working on a full string-section version of the new song “Speak to Me” as we, um, speak. It sounds awesome. But I can’t wait until it’s mixed (hopefully just a few days though) to start giving you those free downloads we’ve been promising.

We just returned form Winter Park where we encountered a worshiping community at Timberline Lodge that got really fired up about music worship. It was so fun to be with folks who began to understand the value of each part of the body, and that when we apply that to worship, we get to be creative and free!

We’re so glad to know the folks at Timberline, and are grateful for Dan and Sarah putting us up in their house. Mary took this photo for us. I think I see Stefan and Spencer back there. I’m not sure who the lovely socks belong to.

In keeping with that theme (creative and free, not lovely socks), we thought we’d give away one of our original songs for worship together, “Spirit of Heaven,” from The Bluing of the Sky. Anyone can download it by clicking on the widget above, and you can pass the files along to your friends.

If you have any issues with downloading, unzipping, or if you experience anything weird or life-changing (like a surge of new worship-leader super-powers), please let us know with a comment on this post and we’ll fix it. Or be happy with you if it’s good.
