Page CXVI—Some New Music I’ve Been Enjoying Lately

I recently heard some music during Desiring God’s live stream of their 2010 Pastor’s Conference.  I did some investigating on Twitter and found out the name of the group was Page CXVI.

Confused by their name?  I was too.  I checked out the band’s site to find out that the name refers to page 116 in a particular version of C. S. Lewis’, The Magician’s Nephew.  There Lewis describes Aslan (the lion-king-savior-Jesus character) singing creation into existence from a dark nothing-filled void.  It’s definitely one of my favorite passages from the Narnian tales.

HymnsYou should really check out Page CXVI’s new album, Hymns.  Songs included:

  1. Come Thou Fount
  2. In Christ Alone
  3. My Jesus I Love Thee
  4. When I Survey The Wonderful Cross
  5. Nothing But the Blood
  6. Solid Rock
  7. Joy

Make sure to check out their website: Pagecxvi.com

Here’s one of their songs dubbed over a YouTube clip.  I really like the part at the end they repeat: “No guilt in life, no fear in death, from life’s first cry to final breath.”
