“Family Man” by Andrew Peterson

Here is a touching video of illustrations set to the music of Andrew Peterson’s “Family Man” from his album Love and Thunder. Since I’m promoting his music, check out my post on his Behold the Lamb of God album. I also highly recommend his latest release Resurrection Letters, Vol II.

Andrew Peterson’s “Behold the Lamb of God”

Behold the Lamb of God by Andrew Peterson is one of my favorite Christmas albums. The musical arrangements are unique and there is a lyrical depth that goes beyond what you usually hear from the vast majority of Christian artists. I find myself listening to it throughout the whole year because it tells the story of our Savior and the plan of salvation beginning in the Old Testament and concluding in the New Testament. Andrew Peterson is a gifted musician and storyteller. This is not your standard Christmas music.

Andrew Peterson writes:

"What makes this bunch of songs unique is that I wanted to remind (or teach) the audience that the story of Christmas doesn’t begin with the birth of Jesus. Many people tend to forget or have never even learned that the entire Bible is about Jesus, not just the New Testament. So the musical begins with Moses and the symbolic story of the Passover (Passover Us) and works its way through the kings and the prophets with their many prophecies about the coming Messiah (So Long, Moses) to the awful four hundred years of silence before God told Mary she’d be having a baby (Deliver Us). After the song called Matthew’s Begats, which lists the genealogy of Jesus, the story picks up in more familiar territory with Mary and Joseph and the actual birth (It Came To Pass, Labor of Love). The final song is called Behold, the Lamb of God, which ties together the Passover and the beauty and scope of the story."
