Se há albuns imperdiveis este «All That Is Within Me» é certamente um deles, um trabalho estupendo dos Mercy Me já editado em 2007.
Pop vibrante, canções que ficam no ouvido e letras muito bem construídas. Aconselha-se a versão 'Collector's Edition', da qual mostramos aqui a capa, onde têm muitos extras e um DVD. Fica também aqui mais abaixo o video de apresentação do album, também com o primeiro single 'God With Us' e a respectiva letra. Agora não podem depois dizer que não foram 'avisados'!! :-)
«Take, take 'til there's nothing nothing to turn to nothing when you get through won't you break scatter pieces of all i've been bowing to all i've been running to where are you?
where are you?
did you leave me unbreakable? leave me frozen? i've never felt so cold i thought you were silent i thought you left me for the wreckage and the waste on an empty beach of faith was it true?
yes, i, i got a question i got a question where are you?
scream deeper, i wanta scream i want you to hear me i want you to find me i, i want to believe but all i pray is wrong and all i claim is gone
well, i, i got a question i got a question where are you?
yeah, yeah
well, i, i got a question i got a question where are you?
«Turn Your eyes from on this way I have proved to live a dastardly day I hid my face from the saints and the angels Who sing of Your Glory What You had in mind When we seek we'll find Shine show me grace
Chorus: A Little More than I can give A little more than I deserve Unearth this holiness I can't earn It's a little more than I can give A little more than I deserve
For all the sin that lives in me It took a nail to set me free still, What I do I don't want to do And so goes the story What You had in mind When we seek we'll find Shine, show me grace
Chorus
With all this motivation I still find a hesitation deep in my soul Despite all my demanding I still find You understanding Show me Grace Show me Grace I know is...
Chorus»

Sixpence None The Richer - "Angels We Have Heard On High"
Ginny Owens nasceu em Jackson, Mississippi (USA), e ficou cega aos dois anos de idade. Quando se formou pela Belmont University em Educação Musical, ela acabou por descobrir que a maior parte das pessoas oferecia resistência em contratar um profeessor de música cego. Assim ela acabou por se concentrar no canto e na composição, começou então a fazer CDs, os quais desde 1999 ela tem produzido com a editora Rocketown Records, uma label ligada a Michael W. Smith.
A sua música tem aparecido na TV, por exemplo nas séries Roswell e Felicity. Ginny recebeu já três Dove Awards, incluindo o de New Artist of the Year (2000). Em Janeiro de 2005, Ginny Owens fundou uma organização não lucrativa chamada Fingerprint Initiative. A organização tem trabalhado em conjunção com outros grupos, como Compassion International, The International Justice Mission, e Habitat for Humanity.

«If you see a change in me don't wonder There's someone in my life And peace I can't describe For I've been reborn If you see a change in me don't wonder I've found a whole new life And hope that I can't hide For I've been reborn
Have you ever felt a longing A searching, within your soul You want something more But you don't know what for There's One who will reach across the distance From the heavens to the earth Because He loves you He loves you
Have you ever felt that something is missing within your soul You want something more, but you don't know what for There is only One you need, but you've got to believe That He loves you enough to give His life»
«Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning? and Who told the ocean you can only come this far? and Who showed the moon where to hide 'til evening? Whose words alone can catch a falling star?
Well I know my Redeemer lives I know my Redeemer lives: All of creation testifies This life within me cry I know my Redeemer lives, yeah.
The very same God that spins things in orbit runs to the weary, the worn and the weak And the same gentle hands that hold me when I'm broken They conquered death to bring me victory
Now I know my Redeemer lives I know my Redeemer lives Let all creation testify Let this life within we cry I know my Redeemer, He lives To take away my shame And He lives forever, I'll proclaim
That the payment for my sin Was the precious life He gave But now He's alive and There's an empty grave.
And I know my Redeemer lives I know my Redeemer lives Let all creation testify Let this life within me cry I know my Redeemer,
I know my Redeemer I know my Redeemer lives I know my Redeemer lives I know that I know that I know that I know that I know my redeemer lives Because He lives I can face tomorrow I Know I know He lives He lives yeah, yeah I spoke with him this morning He lives He lives, the tomb is empty, He lives I gotta tell everybody»
