"Behold the Lamb of God"

(by Andrew Peterson) Behold the Lamb of God - Behold the Lamb of God: 10th Anniversary Edition

Behold the Lamb of God by Andrew Peterson on Grooveshark

Chris & I went to a concert with our friends Clyde & Nicole last night! It was Andrew Peterson's Behold the Lamb of God Tour, and it was amazing! I really had no idea what I was in for. But they invited us, and we like music. So we agreed to go...and I'm so glad! I had really only heard one Andrew Peterson song that I knew of, but it turns out that I've heard more of his stuff & just didn't realize it. Plus, he has been associated with loads of other artists that I've enjoyed for the past couple of decades, so I thought that was cool. And some of them have been &/or currently are a part of this tour (ie. at least three Caedmon's Call members, Sixpence, Brandon Heath, Buddy Miller, Bebo Norman, and many more).

Before I forget [& because Marcie may care to know this]: we totally ran into our friend Ross King! {I use the term friend loosely...I've probably only had a total of three conversations with him: one via email, one in person, and one via Twitter. But Clyde knows him, & Chris has played bass with him when he led worship at our church...}

Anyways...the night began with maybe six of them each singing a song or two of their own. In addition to Andrew Peterson...


...this year's artists included Andrew Osenga...


...Andy Gullahorn and his beautiful wife, Jill Phillips...


...and several others:


There was one artist in particular that I was delighted to discover was a part of the tour: Matthew Perryman Jones! {Can you believe it, Natalie?! We were just discussing him!}


The second half of the night was the performance of Behold the Lamb of God, which is described as "the TRUE tall tale of the coming of Christ". It's a collection of songs about Jesus, beginning in the Old Testament with Moses and continuing through the kings & prophets, and even including a song about Christ's lineage! ü {It's called "Matthew's Begats"!} Behold the Lamb of God is just beautiful, y'all.

It's too late for you to go this year, but I'll try to remember to post it again next year when you might still have a chance to find a concert near you!

Have you attended any neat Christmas performances lately?
