"Check it out!"

I had the amzing opportunity to see Brian Littrell in concert lastnight at the Canada Christian College. I know what some of you are thinking right now..."isn't he one of the Backstreet Boys?" The answer to that question is yes, but he has just recently released his debut solo gospel album. For a minute take back your judgemental boy band thoughts and hear me out because I respect Brian so much for what he's doing. He has stepped up and made his voice known and is testifying the love of Christ within him and using his talent to spread the gospel and God is touching lives through him. Can I get an Amen? AMEN!

I have been a huge fan since back in the day when I purchaced the first BSB cd. But lastnight I saw a completely different side of him. I didn't see the popstar. I saw the man behind the image. The husband, the father, the man of God who like everyone else is just trying to find his place in this world. He has an amazing story which he shared lastnight. I thank God for what he's done in Brian's life and how he has blessed him with a voice that he can use to spread the word.


Here are the lyrics of one of his songs which he wrote on a BSB tour, he performed it lastnight and it really touched me.

There's a world of difference when faith is in a heart
It stands out like sunlight
Life becomes so dark
And when those around me ask me whyI dare to dream
Or why I love or why sing
My answer is You
My answer is You
You're the hope that my heart is holding on to
Skeptics won't understand
It's strange from the world's point of view
My answer is You

They might find it incredible to belive what I can't see
They might think it's foolish
Or even say it's weak
I want to live my life so differently because of faith
If it causes them to question, for me to say

My answer is You
My answer is You

You're the hope that my heart is holding on to
Skeptics won't understand
It's strange from the world's point of view
My answer is You
You're the reason I'm alive
For every good thing in my life

My answer is You
My answer is You

You're the hope that my heart is holding on to
Skeptics won't understand
It's strange from the world's point of view
But my answer is plain and it's simple, Lord
My answer is You

Honestly his cd "Welcome Home" is so raw, and so real and it's basically his heart put into words on a cd. It's His journey of faith and he's sharing his love for Christ. So in the words of Brian lastnight "check it out!"
