I find that many songs are sung today, but not many of them are sung from the heart. This Spring break, I had the distinct privilege of meeting one of the most inspirational and talented men to walk the earth today.
Curt Vernon describes himself as a 6’9″ ridiculously happy man that lives in a ’92 Celica. He is definitely one of the coolest (and tallest) guys that I met in Florida on a mission trip called Beach Reach. After getting back to Texas, I saw that he had posted a link to his music on his Facebook. After hearing his songs, I realized that more people needed to hear them.
The Thoroughbred Community Church website leaves this disclaimer above their links to the music,
“WARNING! The lyrics in these songs may cause conviction leading to repentance.”
I honestly believe this is an accurate description of the songs that Curt has created.
All of Curt’s songs from the album, “Songs for The Brood & Me”, are free to stream and download off The Thoroughbred Community Church Website as well as my website here.
Every one of them tells a different story.
You can download the full CD here!

None of Self and All of Thee
None Of Self And All Of Thee by Curt Vernon is an amazing story of God’s reaching out and pulling us in to him. First we are entirely self focused; and then gradually, we become entirely focused on Him.

Pornography Will Murder You
Pornography Will Murder You by Curt Vernon is the perfect example of humanity’s willingness to lust, as well as God’s forgiveness and saving grace from that lust. It gets really good about 1:55 into the song!

You Are My Rest

Preferences
Preferences by Curt Vernon is a look at God’s saving power from a slightly snarky viewpoint. Definitely a way of looking at the Christian faith that not many people have tried before.

Great and Terrible Day of The LORD
Great and Terrible Day of The LORD by Curt Vernon is an awesome song that pushes the limits of how a worship song is made. Curt begins and ends it with the powerful verse, “If you remember nothing else, I have said to you this night, remember this, God is Love…” and the middle of the song holds the lines, “God I know that your first name is love, but your middle name is wrath, I even love the way you discipline and I love the way you laugh…”

If you like this song you should really watch the Rebel Bride music video I created.

Leave me a comment and let me know which songs inspired you, and how they made you feel.
My favorite is “None of self, All of thee”. It really hits on how God draws a person towards Himself, calling us away from our past life. Also how He grows you in your faith as time goes by. I can definitely see myself in this song. While it gives you something to ascertain to, being completely submitted and humbled before God, it also reminds me that none of us are or can be perfect, which makes His grace all the more amazing.
If we’re talking about favorites, one of mine is Luke 6 from Songs for the Brood and Me. Straight scripture is the way to go with praise it helps more than any human lyric ever could.
Probably my favorite song of Curt’s is “Fatherless and Widows”. It was the first song I ever heard Curt play. The first night I met him, he pulled me aside into his old bedroom at his parent’s house and said, “I have a song I want you to hear”. He then proceded to play “Fatherless”. Probably my favorite line is “I love you so much my love for my momma looks like hate”.
at first i heard rebel bride in the video by matt i believe and loved it. then i came and heard the rest and downloaded them to my ipod but my favorite is pornography will murder you
My favorite is definitely Luke 6 as well – something about it just makes you smile.
[...] past week, my friend Curt Vernon made a trip into College Station to speak at my church. That Sunday night, I met up with him and [...]
I was in prayer in Woodland Park in Lexington KY, when I heard a guitar case open and a prayer in music join in. This was the first ime I met Curt. Several months later I was at the house of the person that I had been praying with that day. We were in prayer with a group of people and I heard it again. Thank you Curt.

where is revival song to be downloaded?
It’s available at http://www.whoismatt.com/revivalsong
If you’re a Christian on the N.A. continent, you will meet Curt Vernon at some point.
Is there any place I can find the Lyrics to these songs. I like the music, but some parts of the songs (specifically “Pornography Will Murder You”) I can’t understand. It would really help to be able to look at the lyrics as I’m listening.
