Welcome to the Main Stage! Here you'll find all kinds of music-related things. Artists' testimonies/biographies...links to music sites...music updates and news...all kinds of fun stuff!!



A note from the editor: In future issues, the Main Stage will feature a particular Christian music artist or group each month. Hopefully, I'll also get some album reviews in here too. But for this issue, the content isn't going to be as much as I had hoped. Sorry guys! I'll make up for it in the next issue...:)



RAISE THE PRAISE

We're called to praise and glorify our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. Now, there are several ways in which you can praise the Lord, but one of the most common ways is through praise and worship songs. In this section of the Main Stage, I'll be featuring the lyrics to a favorite Praise and Worship song. What's the purpose of this, you might be asking. Well, I'm hoping that this will remind some of you who may not find time throughout the busy day to give the praise that's due to God, and also I just like praise and worship music and can't imagine not including it in my music page. :)
Let's raise the praise, and give God the glory He deserves!

This month's featured praise song is another one of my favorites..."Draw Me Close To You". Both the words and music are written by Kelly Carpenter.So, here it is...

Draw Me Close To You

Draw me close to you, never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear you say that I'm your friend
You are my desire, no one else will do
'Cause nothing else could take your place
To feel the warmth of your embrace
Help me find the way
Bring me back to you

(Chorus)
You're all I want
You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know you are near

Note: To anyone who wants the chords for this song, I've got them...just e-mail me and let me know that you want them!
