In this season of light and love, it’s easy to forget that there are people in the world who are hurting. Even now, you might be reading this blog with a deep heartache over a loss or a conflict going on in your life. December isn’t a joyful month for everyone. For many, it’s a season of reminders of loss. It’s a time for loneliness and pain. It can also be a trial in one’s faith, a moment when someone might be asking God, “WHY?” When Family Christian asked me to share the new Tenth Avenue North Cathedrals CD with you, it was a message I was more than willing to deliver. This CD is full of uplifting lyrics that serve as a reminder that we’re never alone. All we need to do is reach out to God and others for comfort.
The cover of the album is so modern and techy. It really caught my eye with the play on the stained glass windows. From 12/5 through 12/24, you can use the Family Christian coupon to get the CD for only $6.99 which is an awesome price. The coupon is in their catalog (one more reason to request the catalog, right?) and you can also find one on their landing page. You can also buy the MP3 tracks separately but it’s so much more cost-effective to purchase the entire CD. The positive feedback about this album demonstrates our collective need for this encouragement. One of my BFFs (Alana) loves contemporary Christian music. I just know this CD will be perfect for her. I plan to snatch it up while it’s at the great price! Take a look at the CD’s song titles and see what calls out to you.

You can listen to a clip from each song on the Family Christian site. As I read over the lyrics, it struck me that these songs don’t gloss over pain and suffering. Instead, we must recognize that God’s grace is enough to cover all of our iniquities. Together, we can hold each other accountable for this understanding. For some Christians, it’s easy or tempting to slip back into old ways. Tenth Avenue North sings it out loud and clear that we need to be honest and upfront about our struggles so that others can help. Are you able to do that? It’s tough for me, too.
If you are looking for the Cathedrals CD this Christmas, please consider getting it from Family Christian. As you can see from their page, all of their earnings are given to charities. That means that your purchase can help to heal someone else’s hurt, too. Isn’t it amazing how our actions can ripple? Let’s make it a good one!
Wow, I’m going to get this for my hubby!
A good post! And I agree. This group has a way of speaking to our emotions. Even the hidden ones. And letting us know God is there in the middle of it. So glad they have another CD out.
Great post! I love Tenth Avenue North. Great guys to hang out with, worship with, talk to – everything! This CD is amazing!
I LOVE 10th Avenue North. As a church musician, we do a lot of their music in our services. This new CD is fantastic!
That sounds lovely! What a great gift!
I need to get this! It sounds great.
A good modern simple cover but the message in the songs is deep and powerful and timeless!
The titles of the songs sound really powerful. I like that you can listen to clips from them.
this would be a nice cd to have to listen to when you have family or friends around as well. everyone would like it.
I could use something to lift me up!
I listen to lots of music, but sometimes it’s nice to just listen to some warm Christian music. You really feel the lyrics and God’s love around you.
Thanks for the tip on their coupon. I do receive their catalog. I love the idea of uplifting music with the true meaning. God is with us always.
How uplifting and wonderful it is to be reminded of God’s love and comfort. He is always there and listening to lyrics like these makes you remember that.
i’m glad you posted the track list. My mom would love this to keep in her car.
