In wonder over God's world, God's word, and God's redeeming love.
I think about this song every Thanksgiving. Our gratitude isn’t directed merely to people or amorphous spiritual powers or chance. There is a Giver, personal and ultimate. A Giver of givers, who gives to all mankind life and breath and everything (Acts 17:25).
One of my favorite performances of this song. Sy Smith is great. But the band! Are you kidding me? These guys are off-the-charts talented and super-fun to watch.

What a joy to discover Ola Gjeilo (pronounced Yay-lo)! Where have I been? Seven Eight is a remarkable piece written in 7/8 time. Try to count it! The song consists of three tracks, each one played by Ola and laid on top of each other.
