Our family relocated to Indianapolis a little over a year ago. The combination of the move and studying music at Butler University has been all-consuming! We live near campus which is close to Broad Ripple Village, home of Indy CD & Vinyl, the largest independent record store in Central Indiana. I stopped in and they were more than happy to inventory "All I Need." I couldn't help but pick out a new turntable for my wishlist. Maybe I will have to issue "All I Need" on vinyl!

Today I'm releasing my digital single of "What Child Is This?". It is available as a free download on SoundCloud through December 31, 2014. It's also available for purchase here, as well as on Amazon and iTunes.

I'm still amazed by God's grace, that he would send His Son to die for us, that He rose victoriously from the grave and that we can experience His grace in our daily lives. This week I tweeted lyrics from "All I Need" that remind us of grace. If you missed them, I've included them below:
Day 1 of 5 lyrics of "grace": I need you, Jesus, to come to my rescue...capture me with grace. @jaredanderson
Day 2 of 5 "grace" on my album: the great unchangeable I Am, the King of glory and of grace. @SovGraceMusic…
Read moreHappy Valentine's Day! While we usually think of the people in our lives that we hold dear on Valentine's Day, why not spend some time remembering how deep our Redeemer loves us? This week I tweeted song lyrics from my album that remind us of God's love. If missed them, I've listed them below. (You can follow me on Twitter @Lloyd_Amy_ or on Facebook.)
Monday: Amazing love! How can it be that Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? Charles Wesley
Tuesday: Love enough to cover every sin in each thought and…
Read moreJust a quick update to let everyone know that "All I Need" is now available in audio CD format on Amazon.com!
Also, I released the bonus track, Fullness of Grace, as a single on Jango Internet Radio. It is a Christmas song that expresses the wonder of the Savior's grace, hope and love. Check out Jango in your device's app store. It's a great way to discover new artists and has very few audio ads.
