Check Out This Awesome New Release!!


Ashmont Hill - Your Masterpiece

“Our Dad instilled in us from the beginning the need to be a church without walls,” says April. People from all walks of life make their homes and peaceably coexist in diverse communities like Ashmont Hill in the inner city of Boston, Massachusetts. “We actually love all types of Christian music,” says Phil Thompson, who formed Ashmont Hill out of Jubilee Christian Church, with sisters April Joy Thompson and Deborah Bullock, along with Deborah’s husband Will Bullock. “We grew up on The Winans and Commissioned, Me and April were BeBe & CeCe growing up.” “But we also grew up on Michael W. Smith and Amy Grant,” echoes April. “And since then . We love listening to Hillsong, Nichole Nordeman, Natalie Grant, Leeland—we love Leeland!”
"Show My Love" is from Ashmont Hill's Your Masterpiece project (released May 25, 2010). This song's chorus says "I am glad cause I let go and give you everything I am to show my love." To me that is a powerful statement that can be divided into three parts. One is "let go". If a person lets go they acknowledge that they can't control life or a situation, and stop trying to. For many this is a scary thought, but here it is a gladly done. Letting go takes a lot of trust. The second part of "give you everything" is the part where we are giving that trust to someone else to take care of. Now I don't know about you but for me this is really hard to do, because I want to do it and be thanked. This situation, sadly, leaves no place for God. The last part "to show my love" drives the issue home. Here trusting is the same as loving. This makes sense, because how can you love someone if you don't trust your heart to them? To quote another song "more of you and less of me, Lord."
