Unending Praise
Unending Praise Released Today!
Friends,
Our album ‘Unending Praise’ released today in digital stores! We’re so excited to share this moment with you because it’s been a long journey since the beginning of Shameless Plug all those years ago. We’re so blessed by the amount of support and love shown our way already, and would really appreciate it if you can continue to share this album with those who you think would be encouraged by the music (see the links below).
If you could take a moment today and write us a review on iTunes, it would really help out. Also, we wouldn’t say no to any help spreading the word on Facebook & Twitter either (@ShamelessPlug1 & #UnendingPraise)!
‘Unending Praise’ is available for download in our Store, iTunes, Google, Amazon, and CD Baby. And for those who love holding the actual CD, you can buy the physical album in our Store, or whenever you see us live.
Next week we’ll be adding chord charts to the songs! We hope that you will worship Jesus with us while you listen to this album!

Kickstarter Digital Rewards
We’re just about done sending out the last of our Kickstarter digital rewards to those who qualified for early downloads. We can’t believe we’re only days away until the release of Unending Praise! And who else could we share our album with a few days early besides our Kickstarter backers? So if you reached that reward tier on our Kickstarter, be sure to check your inboxes for the link. If for some reason you haven’t received yours yet, let us know!

Other New Music
Wow, so much good music is coming out on March 12. We won’t be sharing the same release date as them, but a week after you’ve given them a listen-through, check out our album Unending Praise! Here are some of the great albums that will release this Tuesday. I’ve already pre-ordered all of them, and maybe you will too!
Let The Future Begin (Music from Passion 2013)
Worship Central’s Let It Be Known (Only the single is available until release)
Sound City: Real to Reel (Soundtrack from Dave Grohl’s movie)
Don’t forget, you can also pre-order our album in the Store too!
Here I Stand
There is freedom found in God’s presence (2 Corinthians 3:17). So we have this song, “Here I Stand”, that proclaims our longing to be in His midst, to be with Him, and to be in His arms.
It’s not an easy task following after Jesus. But something as simple as saying that you want to is a big step of faith.
“Here I Stand” was actually a last minute song as we were finalizing the tracking for the album. It was a little too late to do a full band version, so on the album it’s a quieter acoustic recording. But it worked out because it’s an idea that ties everything nicely together at the end of the CD… for why we’re doing this recording, why we are this “Shameless Plug” for Jesus, and what we want to do with it.
‘Be known and lifted high above all else.’ is what we say in the bridge of this song.
We hope that as you listen to the album that the messages of these songs would resonate to you. From the faster energetic songs in the beginning to even this last song that’s more intimate and contemplative, let’s all remember who we’re living for and live for Him every day!
This is the last of the song blogs – hope you enjoyed them and are looking forward to the album release as much as we are!
Here I Stand
Words & Music by Andy Lee
Here I stand because of the cross
Healed and alive in You
Here I am, with chains broken off
A life lifted up to You
Ever will I follow You – You are all I want
God I need to be with You – Draw me to Your arms
For here in Your presence I’m free
The blood of Jesus was bled for me
Your grace and Your mercies are new
Each day I’m living for You
Here I rest when my soul is dry
Humbled beneath Your hand
I confess, I bow with my life
Here in Your grace I stand
Freedom reigns in this place
Come make this sacred space
Be known and lifted high
Above all else
Facebook Banner
Things are moving along smoothly as we’re preparing the final details of our album. And as the artwork is being finalized, we thought we’d share an image for you to use as your Facebook cover photo! It features the album cover as well as some important tidbits for anyone who’ll mosey on over to your Facebook profile. It would mean a lot if you guys can use it to help spread the word about it until the album is released.

Don’t forget, our online store is live and you can order the album & t-shirt now while you’re waiting!
He Has Overcome
After Jesus Christ died on the cross, it wasn’t quite realized then that He would later rise up from the dead. In John 20, a surprised Mary Magdalene saw that the entrance to Jesus’ tomb was open and the stone was removed. A tomb, a grave, a giant stone – these things are supposed to stay shut. But even death couldn’t hold Him down. They found an empty tomb, a risen Jesus!
“He Has Overcome” is the story of our freedom. It doesn’t end with Jesus dying on the cross… He’s overcome the grave, He’s overcome the tomb, He’s overcome death. Have faith, for He has overcome!
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God…” (Ephesians 2:8)
He Has Overcome
Words & Music by Andy Lee
Come lift your voice and let us sing
Come bring adoration to our King
Come in your freedom, you are free
Tell of His mercy and His love
Find hope and freedom in the Son
Raise a shout, the tomb was not enough
Death couldn’t hold Him down
We glorify King Jesus Christ
Who died for all our sin
He came to save, conquered the grave
Now we’re alive in Him
Shout for joy, Hallelujah!
He has overcome
Our God reigns, He remains
He has overcome, He has overcome

Kickstarter backers who qualified for a shirt will be receiving one of these! Thank you once again for your support.
Christ Is
“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me…” (John 14:6)
We praise God in the great times, but what about the tough, difficult, and unbearable moments in life? Not so easy, am I right? So we pray to God and expect Him to do something. But we need specific prayers if we want specific answers. “Christ Is” represents a longing and desire for Jesus even in a crisis or struggling time. No need to think that you need to go through this on your own – Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life!
“…but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” (John 4:14)
Christ Is
Words & Music by Andy Lee
Though we’re thirsty and we’re empty, You will satisfy
Overflowing, everlasting fountain of our lives
I’ve tasted and I’ve seen
Jesus, I need You, Savior
I want to say You’re the one I need
Spirit, bring revelation
Oh, let the nations cry out and sing
How we love You, how we need You, You’re our resting place
Overwhelming and surrounding is Your love and grace
Through trials and suffering,
We drink from Your spring
We look to You, Lord, our help comes from You, Lord
Through every crisis
We know that Christ is
The Way, the Truth, the Life
