"All I Need" Available at Indy CD & Vinyl
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/395780/fcb60b2b425fdd10fb51548a9103e1a9539ceee8/original/indy-cdvinyl.jpg/!!/b%3AWyJyZXNpemU6Mzc1eDIxMSJd.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="211" width="375" /></p>
<p>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 <a href="http://www.indycdandvinyl.com/" data-imported="1">Indy CD & Vinyl</a>, 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!</p>

Digital Release of "What Child Is This?"
<p>Today I'm releasing my digital single of "What Child Is This?". It is available as a free download on <a href="https://soundcloud.com/amylloyd" data-imported="1">SoundCloud</a> through December 31, 2014. It's also available for purchase <a href="/store" data-imported="1" data-link-type="page">here</a>, as well as on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/What-Child-This-Amy-Lloyd/dp/B00R7KFK0Q/ref=sr_1_2?s=dmusic&ie=UTF8&qid=1420498379&sr=1-2&keywords=Amy+Lloyd" data-imported="1">Amazon</a> and <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/what-child-is-this-single/id952733472" data-imported="1">iTunes</a>.</p>
<p>"What Child Is This?" was written by English hymn-writer William Chatterton Dix in 1865. The music is the popular tune, "Greensleeves," a 16th century English folk song.</p>
<p>I love this hymn because it not only reminds us of the story of Jesus’ humble birth but the second verse refers to the cross and actually includes a plea for those listening to place their faith on Christ for salvation. Then, the hymn ends with a verse of beautifully written praise.</p>
<p>Merry Christmas!</p>

Core Muscle Injury Repair
<p>For several months I endured pain in my abdominal area while singing and doing other physical activities. It became significant enough that I was on extended voice rest. Over the summer this pain was diagnosed as a core muscle injury, formerly known as a sports hernia. My injury was surgically repaired in July, and I've been recovering with physical therapy.</p>
<p>The surgery was performed by Dr. William Meyers at the <a href="http://vincerainstitute.com/" data-imported="1">Vincera Institute</a> in Philadelphia, PA. He has dedicated 25 years to pioneering the diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of core muscle injuries and regularly performs surgery on professional athletes.

<p>Thank you so much to all who prayed for me during this time. God's grace has been abundant, and I am thankful!</p>

Happy Resurrection Sunday!
<p>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:</p>
<p>Day 1 of 5 lyrics of "grace": I need you, Jesus, to come to my rescue...capture me with grace. @jaredanderson</p>
<p>Day 2 of 5 "grace" on my album: the great unchangeable I Am, the King of glory and of grace. @SovGraceMusic #allineed #beforethethroneofgodabove</p>
<p>Day 3 of 5 "grace" lyrics: Fullness of grace...stooping to bear the weight of humanity; walking the Calvary road. @gettymusic #allineed</p>
<p>Day 4 of 5 "grace": Fullness of hope...Through His obedience we are forgiven, opening the floodgates of Heaven. @gettymusic #allineed</p>
<p>Day 5 of 5: Amazing love, now flowing down. From hands and feet that were nailed to the tree as grace flows down and covers me. #allineed</p>
<p>Happy Resurrection Sunday! May you know His grace today.</p>
<p>~Amy</p>

Happy Valentine's Day!
<p><strong>Happy Valentine's Day!</strong> 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.)</p>
<p>Monday: Amazing love! How can it be that Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? Charles Wesley</p>
<p>Tuesday: Love enough to cover every sin in each thought and deed and attitude. Keith & Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townend</p>
<p>Wednesday: Underneath me, all around me, is the current of Thy love. Samuel Trevor Francis</p>
<p>Thursday: My confidence will rest in You. Your love endures. Your ways are good. Keith & Kristyn Getty</p>
<p>Friday: Deeper than the rolling seas, higher than the mountain peaks, Your love is all I need. Sovereign Grace Music</p>
<p><strong>Featured Track: My Redeemer's Love</strong></p>
<p>I'm releasing track 2, My Redeemer's Love, on Jango Radio today. This is my featured song for the next 6 weeks. My Redeemer's Love was the benchmark when I was selecting music for the album. The lyrics "Your love is all I need" was the inspiration for the title of the album "All I Need." Along with the lyrics, here is a link to a scratch soundclip from when the album was just a dream:</p>

<p>VERSE 1 <br> My Redeemer’s love is deeper than the depths of sin and hell <br> He who was enthroned in glory came to bring us to Himself <br> My Redeemer’s love is widerthan the breach my sins had made <br> He reached down into my darkness; He alone has pow’r to save <br> <br> CHORUS 1 <br> Deeper than the rolling seas, higher than the mountain peaks <br> Your love is all I need <br> <br> VERSE 2 <br> My Redeemer’s love is stronger Than my fiercest enemies <br> He will hold me in the tempest, through the flood He carries me <br> My Redeemer’s love will lead me through the deepest valley here <br> He will shepherd me and guide me; He will ever keep me near <br> <br> CHORUS 2 <br> Deeper than the rolling seas, higher than the mountain peaks <br> Your love is all I need</p>
<p>Stronger than the rushing wind, shattering the power of sin <br> Your love is all I need <br> <br> VERSE 3 <br> My Redeemer’s love grows sweeter as eternity draws near <br> I’ll enjoy His love forever at His throne for endless years <br> My Redeemer’s love will fill me on the day I see His face <br> I will love Him back forever and forever sing His praise <br> <br> Credits: <br> Music and words by Mark Altrogge, Jordan Kauflin, and Joel Sczebel <br> © 2012 Sovereign Grace Praise (BMI)/Sovereign Grace Worship (ASCAP)</p>
<p><strong>Free CD's!</strong></p>
<p>Do you love the album and wish you could get it for all your friends? Consider doing a sign up sheet for your church (with permission, of course). For every 10 CD's you sell, I will give you a free CD that you can give as a gift. I will make the sign up sheet for you and either ship or deliver the CD's to you or the church.</p>
<p><strong>Request of a Favor</strong></p>
<p>As my friends and supporters, I need to humbly ask of a favor. When someone views my album on iTunes or CDBaby.com there are no reviews yet. I have a couple on Amazon, but could always use more. If you like the music and can come up with something nice to say, would you be willing to write a review? It would only take a couple minutes to say something like "great music, buy this album!" I can help guide you in how to do this if you would like. I would truly appreciate you helping me in this way! Thank you!<br> <br> <br> May you know that God's love is underneath you and all around you, as the hymnist wrote.</p>

Amazon and Jango
<p>Just a quick update to let everyone know that "All I Need" is now available in audio CD format on Amazon.com! </p>
<p>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.</p>

Album Release
<p>Several months ago, God placed on my heart the desire to record an album. After crowdfunding with Kickstarter and a busy summer in the recording studio, I'm happy to share with you that I'm releasing the album today!<br> <br> "All I Need" is a collection of songs that point the heart's attention to the soul's greatest need. With a folk-inspired, acoustic sound, modern and traditional hymns and songs are woven together with the theme of God's grace and love.</p>
<p>If you're new to my music and website and want to learn more about the story behind the album, be sure to check out my <a href="/bio" data-imported="1" data-link-type="page">bio</a>, the <a href="/press" data-imported="1" data-link-type="page">press release</a>, and the updates from my <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/96400552/amys-debut-album-all-i-need" data-imported="1">Kickstarter</a> project.</p>
<p>CD's are available for purchase here on my website. (Click the "store" button above.) Digital Downloads are available for purchase here on my website, iTunes, Amazon and most other digital music websites. Feel free to contact me for bulk purchases of either CD's or Digital Download gift cards.</p>
<p>Some of you may know that November is National Adoption Awareness Month and that for several years my husband and I have been involved in missions work in Russia. To that end, God has moved me to give a percentage of the sales of the album through December 31st to Doorways to Hope. This organization's mission is to help orphans find loving, Christian families in their home countries. Currently, their focus is in Russia and the Ukraine. (Note: In Russia, there are estimated to be more than 730,000 orphans.) In 2012, donors helped Doorways to Hope place 512 orphans in families in their home countries. Doorways to Hope has become increasingly important as Americans are barred from adopting Russian orphans. You can check out their website: <a href="http://doorwaystohope.org" target="_blank" data-imported="1">doorwaystohope.org</a>.</p>
