Hello Kittens & Dawgs! To head things off at the path so-to-speak I’m putting my April 1st Battle of the Bands up early because one it falls on Sunday and two it’s the start of the A2Z challenge. Whew, it’s gonna be busy and considering that this is a weekend battle, I think I’m going to extend the voting time to ensure each person has a fair shot at playing along. I felt this was the purrfect time to pay tribute to our heavenly Father in this showdown with Easter tomorrow. How Deep The Father’s Love For Us is a purrfect fit to mark the occasion which we celebrate.

Today’s battle song is written by British songwriter and artist, Stuart Townends in 1995. Please listen to the lyrical arrangement for your pleasure and referrence only.

I thought with the nature of Easter holiday being one of great reverence, I felt instrumental covers worked best. Listen and decide which you like the best.

Contender #1 Celtic Mewsic

Contender #2 Andy Leftwich (violinist)
