Hello and welcome to my website!
So many people have asked me,"What have you been doing?"
Well, in this moment, I am thrilled to be releasing our new CD, Voyage.
Scott and I have been working on this music for about a year. You can
read more about that on the Voyage CD page and song descriptions
page of this site.
It has been six years since we released our last project, Becoming.
Creativity seems to take a lot longer for me now. There is always so
much to do. I have been raising and teaching our 3 children, who
seem more like adults every day.
Scott has been working on other artists' records, sometimes as producer, sometimes as guitarist and sometimes as both. He teamed up with Ken Lewis to produce and play on this recording.
Scott and I have been enjoying life together as we celebrate our 20+
years of marriage. Like everyone, we wonder how the years fly by and
pray we make the most of the days. (We will be upgrading and adding
more information to this site in the next months.)
I thank you for your eyes to see and your ears to hear! What a joy to
share the gift with those whose hearts resonate with ours. May the
music ring in the deepest places of your soul.
In the grace and mercy of Christ,
Christine Dente
THE NEW RECORDING !
Price:10
is Christine and Scott Dente’s latest musical offering. Also known as Out of the Grey, this couple has always focused on nuanced lyrics, ethereal vocals and eclectic guitars. For this project, Christine wrote 10 songs based loosely on prayers from the book, The Valley of Vision: A Collection of Puritan Prayers. She unites her love of jazzy pop to their Puritan devotion to Christian piety. The result is an intimate and worshipful experience. Scott joined forces with friend and fellow producer Ken Lewis to create a compelling blend of organic and electronic elements. This Voyage comes across with a fresh yet enduring perspective on the Christian life.

Voyage
Oh Lord of the Air
My little plane flies on a restless wind
Grant that Jesus may be
At the wheel to guide me safely in
Let no current divert me
Nor my faith be wrecked with turbulence
Bring me to the gate unscathed
This voyage is long
And the stormy clouds are pitiless
But your word is secure
Grant me grace to fear a little less
For your haven is guaranteed
Each day will bring me nearer home
Your peace just like a river flows
Pour your oil upon my troubled skies
Convert my every care to prayer
Convince my heart you’re really there
And may the world this day be glad that I’'m alive
Oh Lord of the air
Thy cross will be upon my radar screen
Though this voyage is long
I will fly this night with hope unseen
Next day will bring me nearer home
And may the world this day be glad that I'’m alive
I’'m alive
Til I reach the place of endless praise

God All Sufficient
Oh Lord of grace,
The world is before me this day
And I am weak and fearful but I look to thee for strength
God all sufficient, God all sufficient
If I venture forth alone
I stumble and I fall
But on the beloved’'s arm, I’'m a tree standing tall
If left to the treachery of my heart
I would shame thy name
But if upheld by thy spirit
I'’ll bring glory to the same
Be thou my strength to stand
Be my light to see
My feet to run, my sword to fight
My shield protecting me
God all sufficient
To enrich me will not diminish thee
All thy love is in thy Son
I claim his name
He died for me His blood covers my shame
God all sufficient, God all sufficient, God all sufficient
Return Again to Me
Oh Lord you know
My heart is cold
Myself I loathe
Where do I go from here?
I'm at a loss
Can't find your love
Seems you have gone
Return again to me
Your grace is all I need
Help my soul to breathe
Pour on your grace
My heart needs change
My soul won't rise
Until you draw me nigh
Help my soul to breathe after your holiness
and you make me own my sin
the struggles of my youth
until all I know is sin
in everything I do
The Valley of Vision
Lord, high and holy
So meek and lowly
Thou hast brought me to this valley
Where I live in the depths yet
Gaze at thee in the heights
Hemmed in by sin I see your glory
In this Valley of Vision, I'm low enough to see
The heights of your glory, the depths of my need
So my eyes are always lifted
Lord, in your wisdom
The way up is down
And bearing the cross is wearing the crown
And though I have nothing
I'm richer than a king
When I am broken then I'm healing
This Valley of Vision keeps me on my knees
The deeper this well of mine, the brighter thy light it shines
Lord, let me always find thy light in my dark
thy life in my death
thy joy in my sorrow
thy grace in my sin
thy riches in my poverty
thy love in my lack
thy glory in my valley
It's All About You
Oh lover to the uttermost
May I read the meltings of thy heart to me
In the manger of thy birth
In the garden of thy agony
In the cross of thy sufferings
In the tomb of thy resurrection
In the heaven of thy intercession
Emboldened by this thought
I defy my enemy
In treading down temptations
Resisting every scheme
Renouncing the world, I am valiant for the truth
It's all about you
Your love story is true
It's all about you and all you do
Your love keeps coming through
Your love is true
Thou hast loved me everlastingly
I pray that I'll love thee as I am loved
I am loved, I am loved
You gave yourself for me
Died that I might live free
In every moment of my time
and every movement of my mind
With every beat of my heart may I realize
The Mover
Oh Mover of me, may I always submit unto thee
Oh Mover of me, may I always depend upon thee
You don't move men like stones but endue them with life
That they may be free to be moved by thee
Oh Mover of me, it was You made me able to see
The Christ I receive, couldn't love if you didn't love me
Oh Mover of me, let thy love draw me nearer to thee
Oh Lover of me, make me ready, I'm headed for thee
Though my heart was a stone, you made it your own
That I might be free
Oh Lover of me
Now my heart is free to be moved by thee
The Mediator
Oh God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
We hope in thy word and in thy mercy
For there we see thee on a throne of grace
And we hear you say, "Come and be ye saved"
The one who made a way, a way to save us
You sent a savior, our mediator
We derive relief from his suffering
How many are now witnesses to you
Glorified in heaven, living on the earth
So many souls you've rescued from the ruins
Jesus our Savior, our mediator
We trust in thy word by thy good pleasure
See how you change us like Isaac and Jacob
As Abraham believed, the truth has set us free
Jesus our savior, our mediator
We hear you say, "Come and be ye saved"
I Expect Great Things
I expect great things of God
For God He is so great
He can do what we cannot
I hope for joy unseen
And hope wont disappoint
Faith is sure of what will be
So I hope for joy unseen
I wait for glory days
When every voice will praise
The name above amazing love
So I wait for glory
I hope for joy
Trinity
Three in one, one in three
Awesome mystery
Father, Son, Spirit Holy
Our God, the Trinity
Oh Father, you have loved me, sent Jesus to redeem
Oh Jesus, you have loved me by washing my soul clean
Oh Spirit, you have loved me by showing me my need
So profound a mystery
Oh Father, I thank you for giving me to Him
Oh Jesus, I thank you for taking me in
Oh Spirit, I thank you for planting faith within
An amazing mystery, the awesome Trinity
Three persons in one God
I praise the threefold name
Heaven Desired
I am going where the means of grace shall cease
Where I need no more to fast or pray or seek
I am going where no grief or fears can live
No more tears or sorrow, no more shame or sin
Where I'm going there's no sickness
No more death
No unhappiness
And I won't be back again
I am going where I'll see the perfect sight
Find the sweetest food to fill my appetite
Where the music plays the finest melody
For the soul that finds its happiness in thee
I am going where I'll finally draw close
With my body and my soul
To the One I've longed to know
I am going where I shall be near to thee
In thy kingdom, dwelling with thy family
And when I arrive, I'll be satisfied
This beginning of my life
It's the heaven I desired
