Cry Out to Jesus

I got an email from Third Day a few days ago, but didn't read it until tonight. I want to post it here. Check out the free downloads of their new single Cry Out to Jesus -- the album version as well as the extended media version. Good stuff....

~~~

Three weeks ago we all decided our first single from Wherever You Are would be a new song called CRY OUT TO JESUS. Little did we know at that time there would be a larger purpose. Originally scheduled to go to radio September 16, we want to let everyone know that the single, "Cry Out To Jesus," was rushed to radio stations earlier this week in the wake of the tragedy throughout the Gulf states. The band, the label, management and everyone involved have been shaken by the devastation that has occurred to our brothers and sisters in the south. Â Our hope is that this song will be like salve on the wounds of those who are hurting"We can't turn on the news without our hearts breaking for the people suffering through the devastation left by Katrina. Our sincere desire for this record and "Cry Out To Jesus" is to offer hope to hurting people. We know people's lives will be forever changed by the storm that hit this week. Our prayers and thoughts are with our brothers and sisters and their families in the Gulf States. We hope this song can bring even a small amount of hope and light to this dark hour." - Mac Powell
Third Day and
Essential Records are happy to allow you to download the song 'Cry Out to Jesus.' free of charge. If you are at all inspired by this song, we hope and pray that you would translate those feelings into acts of compassion for those that are suffering on the Gulf Coast. Please consider making a donation to an organization such as World Vision or the American Red Cross that is already on the ground responding to this crisis. None of us will ever look back and wish we had done less to help those suffering at this horrible crossroads.

Thanks for the link #9!
Now, after hearing that song, I'm thinking of going down to Washington, D.C. to see 3D and SCC at the Luis Palau Festival in October.

Oh man... that would be so cool. I would so love to see Third Day. *sigh* Not that I wouldn't want to see SCC... lol. Just that I've never seen Third Day before. ;-)
