I led worship at Grace Center on Sunday morning.  It was a high-light!! During worship, we entered into a deeper realm of the Spirit than I had ever experienced. That morning, the Lord instructed me to enter "gently" so we started with an old song called, The Steadfast Love then went into Amazing Love. It proved to be the perfect launch pad into His presence. Thank you, Lord for revealing your incredible love for us that day!! The band was amazing too....Carl on drums - Luke Gambill on keys, … [Read more...]

Here I am in a writing session with Miriam Webster at EMI Studios in Brentwood.  I am so excited to finally be writing songs for my new CD.....or whatever it will be called by the time I finish! LOL! My method of writing has changed a bit over the years. I used to write from an "artist" standpoint instead of from a worship viewpoint. The difference is one that song is more congregational and the other is more for listening. I enjoy writing both, however, because for the passion of worship … [Read more...]

In addition to leading worship in live settings, I enjoy cutting vocal leads and background vocals on recording projects. This weekend, I had a great time singing the lead on a Christmas song for producer, Gary Lunn. When I'm asked to sing a "lead", I like to have an MP3 of the song ahead of time so I can live with it a bit. I perform better when I feel like I "own" the tune rather than just singing the notes. Typically, I chart out the song (in the number system) and go through it a few … [Read more...]

ALL OVER UNDERWIRE BRAS By Leann Albrecht (Warning guys: Sorry the subject matter centers around bras, but that’s the story.) One day while meandering through the outlet mall, I decided to check out the Hanes lingerie store. A young blond in her twenties greeted me. It wasn’t long before we found what I was looking for and headed to the cash register. While ringing up my purchase, we chatted about things we love about different underwear (a conversation, I’m sure would never … [Read more...]

This night we experienced waves of praise and worship.  There is one thing that continually amazes me each time we worship, it's completely different, exciting and refreshing! There is ALWAYS more from the Lord. We never exhaust His infinite love and power. Every time we worship Him, we discover new and delightful dimensions of His character. Our relationship is two-way ....He loved us first and our response is loving Him back. 1 John 4:19 (AMP) We love Him, because He first loved … [Read more...]

Surviving Hard Times By Leann Albrecht Let’s face it, we live in a broken world where bad things happen to good people. However, the way we respond to those hard times makes the difference as to whether we come through them defeated or victorious. In other words, we can be depressed and hopeless or filled with peace and joy during difficult situations. The choice is ours. I know that may sound simplistic but here are some things I have learned over the years of walking in relationship … [Read more...]
