I preached at our Syosset Campus this past Sunday on Philippians 2:9. Here’s the video!
Behind-the-Scenes Easter 2015
I vlogged Easter weekend prep for our big celebration service at the Theater at Westbury…come along for music, rehearsals, videos, fun people, and so much more! I detailed out some of the media I created earlier this week.
Easter 2015
New Cover – You Make Me Brave
Let me know what you think!
Your Name – New Song
Wanted to write a simple song for the people to sing at church for a long time. I have some like Mover of Mountains and I Need You Lord, but I usually end up with way too many words and harmonies for the “common folk.” ;). This one turned out well I think! Let me know if you agree…
Your Name – Ben Ward
When I hear your name
I know everything’s going to be alright
When I hear your name
I know I’ll make it out alive
When I hear your name
Whispered, shouted, crying full of pain
When I hear your name
Everything’s changedWhen I say your name
I feel my heavy heart get light
When I say your name
I see wrongs made right
When I say your name
If I whisper, If I shout it, If I sing it it’s the same
When I say your name
Everything’s changedIf all is right
Or much at stake
All I need to hear is your name
All I need to say is your name
JesusIf all is right
Or much at stake
All I need to hear is your name
All I need to say is your name
JesusWhen I say your name
I see wrongs made right
When I hear your name
I know everything’s going to be alright
When I say your name
If I whisper, If I shout it, If I sing it it’s the same
When I hear your name – Jesus
When I say your name – Jesus
Everything’s changed
Original Song Mashup with Coldplay Yellow
I so love Coldplay…so I weaved in a little “Yellow” with a song I wrote with Stephanie White, “More.” The parts I used actually worked well, I think. How about you?
(I recorded this a couple of weeks ago. Hence, the Christmas Tree:)
More with Yellow
Written by Ben Ward, Stephanie White, and ColdplayLook at the stars
See how they shine for you
And all the things you doI came along
I wrote a song for you
And everything you doMore than enough for me
More than my eyes could see
More than my everything
Overflow, so much more
Here in my brokeness
Fill up my emptiness
Be more than my heart could hold
Overflow, so much more
More than enough for meYour skin, oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn in to something beautiful
Do you know, you know I love you so
You know I love you so
