Point of Grace, "Begin With Me"

[George Tropicana]

is cool. "Begin With Me" was almost a #1 on PeopleBase! And Jeffster said he likes their song "Keep The Candle Burning."

Woo! :)

"Keep The Candle Burning" is a great song. Also check out their most recent one, "Day By Day" A little more of a rock feel to it

For sure, Point of Grace is an amazing group! I think "The Great Divide" is one of my all time favorite songs...still, anytime I hear that song...it gives me chills.

I love Point Of Grace. My favorite song by them would have to be "Praise Forevermore". It's one of those songs that I love hearing no matter what type of mood I'm in. I especially love the instrumental bridge in the middle. The strange thing is, that song always takes me back to spring, 2001 even though it's from the latter half of the year ("Blue Skies" was from the spring). I wonder if there was a song from that period of time that sounded like "Praise Forevermore".
Speaking of "Blue Skies", that's also a song by Point Of Grace that I like. 20: The Countdown Magazine did a special show on the Top 20 songs by them. I believe they ran it three times - once during the summer of 2001 (I'm assuming because "Praise Forevermore" wasn't on there), once during the four-week break and the other time was in mid-May, 2002. "Blue Skies" was number one.
I'll have to take a listen to their newer songs.

I love "Begin With Me"! How did you ever discover that song anyways?

It opened my hears to CCM. ;)

Wow, the music video was excellent. I am appalled MTV refused to acknowledge the many votes for "Begin With Me" when POG fans assembled together for the TRL Attack day. TRL ignored our votes. Possible bias against hip Christian music?

Wow! I choose you to thank!

I remember the TRL fan attack. It was disgusting that POG wasn't played.

Even Christian music video channels barred POG! Here's the reply to my "Begin With Me" request to Altarnet. :(

Hi, I think Altarnet is really cool. I just discovered it. I also
love the
groovy band Point of Grace. Are you ever gonna play their music
videos? I
don't see them on your request list. "Begin With Me" is a
really good music
video!

Rock on Altarnet!

Show Full Headers Back To [INBOX]

Glad you like the shows, keep telling your friends about the shows and
invite them to go in with you to request your favorite vids, the more
requests a vid gets the more likely it can break the top ten each
week.

The Altarnet formats are featuring the younger beats and we rarely
have
requests for POG or Smitty or the other mainstay older CCM artists,
you are
the first request for POG, however if we get many more we will see
about
getting one of their hotter vids for you.

LOL! I would have requested if I had known.

I think it's catchy! :)
