Back Street Boy! brian littrell

not sure if you know who the back street boys are....a pop band that was popular when i was in high school, i guess they are still popular. anyways- on a whim on Friday night i went to a concert at Northwestern with some friends and on stage was Mac Powell from Third Day (for those of you (Bonnie) that don't know, Third Day is a major Christian band....that sings some pretty cool tunes), Brian Littrell, Shane & Shane, Cindy Pearson and a bunch of other dudes. They put on a pretty cool show. They just keep taking turns playing songs and a doing renditions of old hymns. I had no idea that the back street boy (Brian Littrell- pictured) was a solid Jesus follower. Super cool. I guess he even has a Christian CD out - who knew????. Along with the music there was a guest speaker...i have no idea what his name is but you can see part of his face in the picture...he is in the brown. he talked about how we need to spend more time in the word of God...being the bible and how we need to let the words He spoke be revealed - to become a practice. To soak ourselves in it daily; not just cuz we have to read it to be 'good Christians', but cuz we should want to let God reveal himself to us every day! Mac Powell...in the green...has the best voice! i love listening to him sing. He is rock solid. And than Brian Littrell (in the yellow) of course was a major surprise! It was a good night with friends and a good night singing tunes.

Shane & Shane (not pictured) also have great voices. they didn't sing very much and i was sort of bummed out about that...but they did sing my all time favorite.

"Yearn"

Holy design

This place in time

That I might seek and find my God

(chorus)

Lord, I want to yearn for you

I want to burn with passion over you

And only you

Lord, I want to yearn for you

I want to burn with passion over you

And only you

Lord I want to yearn

Your joy is mine

Yet why am I fine

With all my singing and bringing grain

In light of Him

Oh your give life and breath

In you we live and move

That's why I sing...

(chorus)
