I was blessed in the first half of 2008 to attend three separate conferences for college students. Each of the conferences were God-glorifying and soul-edifying and each of the conferences were marked by an 
excellence in musical worship. And to my great delight, studio recordings of each conference band allow me to relive the musical worship. Here they are (with links to iTunes):
1) Lu, or, Looked Upon by the Na Band (Na Conference; Louisville, KY). Watching Devon Kauflin lead worship with his dad Bob supporting him on keys was a neat experience at the 2008 New Attitude conference in Louisville. The songs played live at the conference and recorded in the studio on this album are deeply rooted in the cross of Christ. Track 11, “All I Have is Christ,” is fabulous. Lu (short for Looked Upon) is Wg (that is, worth getting). A superb album. Cross centeredness: A+. [UPDATE: You can download several live recordings from the conference here.]
2) Adore and Tremble by Daniel Renstrom (Missio Dei conference; Wake Forest, NC). My first trip to Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. I had not heard of Daniel before the conference and really didn’t know him after the conference either. I thanked him in person for playing, and assumed he was *just* a gifted college ministry worship leader—until I returned home and received a copy of his album. I immediately recognized his songs featured at the conference. The lyrics include some beautiful, pure cross-centered statements. In the song “At the Cross” he sings, “At the cross, wrath was taken away, / and Christ was in our place. / What marvelous grace. / At the cross, justice was supplied, / by the blood of Christ.” And in the song “Where Could I Go” Daniel takes the cross and daily life and ties them together beautifully. Cross centeredness: A.
3) O For That Day by Enfield, the Resolved Band (Resolved Conference; Palm Springs, CA). The album features solid biblical lyrics and strings from beginning to end. And I listen to it from beginning to end on long drives and long walks. Hearing them play live was a great but the album itself sounds “live” too and you can get a sense of being at the conference (if you play the album loud enough). Though on the album you don’t get C.J. on drums like you do live. All said, it’s a great addition to a musical library (track 4 was written from Isaiah 6 and is worth the price of the entire album). Cross centeredness: B-.
Consider each of these three albums for your iPod as you seek to worship God throughout the day. Each will help foster worship to our gracious God. And each of these albums are reminders of the amazing depth of God’s gracious working in the hearts of a younger generation of Christians—in three diverse spheres in North America—who are writing, playing, and recording excellent God-exalting music.
How God must love to pour out the generous musical gifts (like those featured on these albums) to glorify Himself!

While we’re on the topic of album recommendations; I wanted to make you aware of Jamie Soles and his album The Way My Story Goes. It’s a CD for children, however, I find myself constantly encouraged by it.

Please do check it out, you won’t be disappointed.
To get you hooked; in the tune of: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.
Israel worshipped Ashtoreth and Israel worshipped Baal
So the Lord grew mad at them and sold them down the rail
They served Cushan-Rishathaim until God changed His mind
And then Othniel He raised up to be Judge isn’t He kind?
And the land had rest until old Othniel died
Eglon king of Moab was as fat as he could be
His people conquered Israel and made them pay a fee
Ehud came with tribute and a message from the Lord
And then left-handed Ehud gave him eighteen inches of sword
And so Israel was delivered by the Lord
Jabin king of Canaan reigned and ruled with harsh oppression
Israel had sinned again but now they made confession
Deborah was prophetess and Barak had command
And they routed old Sisera and drove him from the land
To a woman with a hammer in her hand
Israel turned away again from God, it didn’t please Him
So He called for Midian and brought them to police ’em
They would steal their breakfast
and their supper and their lunch
Until Israel was hungry and afraid of this bunch
And their poverty had hit them like a punch
Hidden in the winepress was a quite unlikely hero
To the rescue he was called although his strength was zero
Gideon took courage in the power of the Lord
And with three hundred men
he broke the might of Midian’s horde
Just to make it plain the victory is the Lord’s
Jephthah was a fighter but he did not have much backing
All his brothers said “You’re not of us!” and sent him packing
How they wished when Ammon came
that they had not so done
For their one hope of victory was in this rejected son
Tell me, doesn’t that remind you of Someone?
The nameless king of Ammon
tried his hand at some oppression
History was not his friend, so Jephthah gave him lessons
When the talk was over Jephthah beat him like a drum;
When you fight God’s anointed you’ll be shown to be a bum
In the present age or in the one to come
Things are so much better, now the rightful Judge is ruling
He has made us righteous and forgiven all our fooling
Let the nations hear it; Jesus is the Judge and King
He will rule us forever and our tributes we will bring
He will have His way, let all creation sing!
Cool, will check it out. Always love to hear new music that really honours the Lord
