Spring Morning Song Mix Playlist
Ahhh!!! Spring is in the air. I have a certain mindset of the most cherished times of the day for each season.
Take for example winter evenings. We like to curl up next to the fire and drink cocoa. It’s when we decorate the tree, have holiday parties, and wrap presents.
Autumn is sort of similar as the best times are in the early evening or late afternoon. Its when we go trick-or-treating or jumping in the raked leaves.
Summer’s time is in the afternoon when we’re at the beach, swimming, or having a picnic.

“In Christ Alone” Brian Littrell Piano and Guitar Chords
Some of you may remember in the early summer of 2005, Brian Littrell came out with a single called “In Christ Alone.” It climbed the Christian Contemporary Music Charts all the way up to number one! Now, I hear that Brian Littrell is finally releasing a full album including that top song. The album is titled “Welcome Home.” If you’ve been keeping track of the CCM Charts, you’ll also see that his title track, “Welcome Home,” is performing similarly to “In Christ Alone.” Maybe we’ll see it at number one too.
Anyway, back to “In Christ Alone,” I really loved that song (despite the fact that it was performed by a Backstreet Boy). I chorded it in the summer of 2005. It’s too bad that the song is too high or too low for me to sing no matter how much I transpose it! I hope whoever uses these chords will be able to sing it. Enjoy!

“Find Your Wings” Mark Harris Piano and Guitar Chords
My dad and I were discussing the upcoming quinceañera that our church was sponsoring for one of the girls. For those who do not know what a quinceañera is, it is a very special birthday party on a girl’s 15th year. People with Hispanic heritage often celebrate it. Since we live in San Antonio, which is mostly Mexican populated, it’s common to hear of quinceañeras. Often, these parties are as extravagant as weddings themselves! (FYI, the word ” quinceañera” is derived from “quince,” which means 15, and “año,” which means “year”).
My dad was the master of ceremonies for this quinceañera and he needed some slots to fill the program, especially the music. He asked me to sing a song but I couldn’t think of anything. I only had love songs and Christian songs in my repertoire. He told me to sing anything!
Personally, I feel awkward when I perform a song that is irrelevant to the occasion. For example, if I play a special music for church, I do not want to play a love song or something classical. No, I want to play something that is Christian! Nothing I had was really appropriate for a quinceañera. To me, the song had to have a positive message about growing up since it was essentially a birthday party.
