Travis Cottrell “Jesus Saves LIVE” CD Giveaway
Oh, internets – I am ever-so-excited about what I get to share with you today. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM.
Because I’m giving away twenty copies of Travis Cottrell‘s new worship CD, Jesus Saves LIVE. Trust me when I tell you that IT. IS. PHENOMENAL.
Please permit me to elaborate.
Travis is one of the most STINKIN’ HUMBLE people I have ever known in my life. That is but one reason why David and I love him so much. He also happens to be deeply, PROFOUNDLY gifted as a worship leader, songwriter, singer and musician. And on this new CD, he uses every single one of those gifts for God’s glory. In fact, after I listened to the whole CD for the first time, I called David and said, “Do you know what is all over this music? The tender heart of God.” Even now, that’s the best way I know to explain it. There is a posture of humility and surrender and praise that just permeates every single song.
(By the way, when I shared my “tender heart of God” comment with Travis, he said, “Okay. Thank you. Nowlet’spleasedon’tevertalkaboutitagain.”)
(And then he said, “WHAT ABOUT ANGELA CRUZ?”)
(Because let me tell you: Angela Cruz – who’s a regular member of Travis’ praise team – sings a version of “Mercy Seat” that will send you straight into the ugly cry. I’ve never heard anything so worshipful in my life. SWEET MERCY.)
It’s been so fun to listen to this CD with my family, and we all have different favorites; I adore the very first song, “To The King,” because I am such a fan of a strong call to worship (old Methodist habits die hard, they do). David loves listening to Cindy Morgan sing “Praise The King” backed by a 300-member choir, and Alex requests “Victory in Jesus” every single time I pick him up from school, though last night he told me in no uncertain terms that “Jesus Saves” is “the most important song of all, Mama.”
Well I reckon it is.
And that brings me to the last thing I’m going to say and then I’ll quit talking and let y’all win some CDs, I PROMISE: while the lyrics on this CD are jam-packed with Truth, the melodies are so easy to sing that your young kids will love listening, too. There have been several times in the last couple of weeks when I’ve overheard our little guy singing the chorus to “Our God Saves” or “Jesus Is The Lord” while he’s playing – and he’s just picked up the words from listening to them in the car. You just can’t beat that, you know?
OKAY. HERE’S HOW YOU WIN ALL THE GREAT MUSIC.
1. Go listen to clips of each song over on Travis’ website.
2. Come back here and tell me your favorite.
3. That’s all.
4. Except that if you want up to three additional entries, then link to Travis’ website (http://traviscottrell.com) from your blog, Twitter or Facebook – then come back here and leave an additional comment for each one of those links. So you can leave up to four comments total.
And do you know what’s even more fun about this particular giveaway? You get to win the CD before it’s released on June 2. This giveaway will run through Friday, May 22, and then I’ll draw for 20 (TWENTY!) winners.
Y’all are going to love it!
p.s. There’s another Travis-related contest going on with Worship Leader magazine, and you can get all the info on that right here.
This giveaway is now closed.

Awwww….shucks…thanks for picking me. Oh, you didn’t?? Dern.
Ok…since I was at the recording and can visualize and hear every last song its all but impossible to pick only one, but if I have to pick just one favorite…then I’m going with Mercy Seat. I swear I got chills right here as I typed it.
I’ll put this on twitter. I’m sure to win. :)
Love ya,
Fran
Travis has a gift for putting wonderful music together, I have been a fan for years. I heard Angela sing Mercy Seat for the first time at the Deeper Still conference in Atlanta and it was AMAZING…I went to the taping in Woodstock GA and was thrilled when I realized it would be on the new cd! I would love to win one of these cd’s!!!
This is going to be one of those cd’s that you just put in and listen to over and over…I have no favorite – I truely do love ALL these songs!

Mercy seat!
For sure MERCY SEAT!!! LOVE IT!!
Loved “I will Sing of my Redeemer”. Awesome!
JESUS SAVES!!!
I’ve been waiting for that song to be on an album ever since I heard him sing it at the Southern Baptist Conv. in 2007!!
Oh, I knew before I listened, but even after listening my favorite is still “In Christ Alone” (Solid Rock Medly) I LOVE this song, and I am going to love having this CD.
I also linked to Travis on my facebook page – which is quite a “God thing” cause my kids usually have to do those types of things for me and they are in school right now :) so I did it myself!!

Jesus Saves!
Thanks so much for the chance to win . . . love your blog!
Mercy Seat.
Omigoodness, I hope I win! :D
I linked to my facebook page. You’re on my friends list, Sophie, so you can check it out. ; ) Here’s to winning my copy.
I’d pick “I Will Sing of My Redeemer” ’cause I just love that old hymn.
But “In Christ Alone” in a medley with “Solid Rock” is UN-BE-LIEVABLE!! Heard him do that at the Christian Book Expo. I’ve always loved “In Christ Alone” and didn’t think it could be improved on, but adding “The Solid Rock” absolutely makes it beyond wonderful!
Do it Lord!
Our God Saves
and my VERY favorite is Victory in Jesus!
I know you asked for one. Honestly? I couldn’t pick just one. I know, I’m a rebel. Ha!
I will link his website, as well. Can I get that fun-sidebar-picture-linky thing? I will go and look for it.
I’m looking forward to hearing some of these this weekend in Laramie! Wish you could come, Sophie.
Put it on today’s blog post, too, so you can check it out at the website attached.
Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Decided not to color my hair today so I could take the time to win this CD. Hope my roots will forgive me while I’m shoutin’ out praise to Jesus with Travis.
Christ Alone. How could I not? Gives me goosebumps. I’ll link on Twitter and be back…
Mercy Seat hands down!
Mercy Seat…one of many favorites…love them ALL!
Put it on my FB page
I LOVE “In Christ Alone”! It is my favrite song no matter who is singing it! :) But this is a great praise and worship CD and I’d love to hae one! And if I don’t win…I’m going to buy it!
Please, oh please, pick me!!
Christ Alone…for sure!! I was at the recording and it was AWESOME!!!
In Christ Alone… wow! :)
sorry, forgot to say, In Christ Alone is my favorite. And, this one can count as my twitter entry.
OK, I made a link to my blog, since I am not a twitter-er or facebook-er.
Have a lov-er-ly day!
Mercy Seat!
I honestly don’t think I can narrow it down to one!
I will say “In Christ Alone”, for the sake of the entry, but I also love “Jesus Saves” and “Mercy Seat”. And listening to the clips caused me to decide that I think I love the rest of them!
oh . . . mercy seat or victory in Jesus . . . don’t make me pick!
I can not pick just one favorite! He is so gifted. It is so special to be able to worship alone listening to his music yet with so many others who appreciate his music too.

I was at the recording and I literally thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest when, right in the middle of Mercy Seat, they tore into “Lord Have Mercy”…….and Lord have mercy indeed. It’s awesome. You’re very right about the ugly cry. My next favorite would be Jesus Saves.
Love them all.. So hard to choose. I am Persuaded and Victory in Jesus are great.

LOVE this cd–would be honored to have one. I love “Victory in Jesus” and “In Christ Alone” Actually I love them all!!
I have to choose ONE??? Well, it will have to be Victory in Jesus…. but In Christ Alone would be a very close second.
It’s so hard to pick! I am going to say Victory in Jesus! :)
Our God Saves. Because well, He does! And He so recently did in my own little family :)
I love In Christ Alone – we played it at our wedding :-) o and i think i might have been there when they were recording this :-) so fun!
i hate to pick the same thing as other people but i just can’t deny that i love, love, love “mercy seat.” i’m just gonna have to follow the crowd here. forgive me, mama.
Ummmm okay can we just have a moment about JESUS SAVES?!?! The minute I heard that song from his Christmas album, it changed my life. And I don’t even care that it is on the CHristmas album, it is near June and I blasted that thing in the car this morning! I turn it all the way up.. and a LIVE VERSION! Jesus loves me. This I know.
THIS IS SO EXCITING!
That’s a tough one. They are all awesome, but probably my winner would be I am Persuaded.
“Hallelujah, God is Here” and “I am Persuaded” but really I like them all!!
I love Christ Alone
I am Persuaded. Thanks for the contest.

I’m with Alex on this one! Jesus Saves is my absolute favorite! So far.
My old Baptist roots must be showin’ cuz I started boppin’ when I heard Victory in Jesus so that’s my pick. (Of course Jesus Saves is probably going to have me leading a revival when I listen to it on my walks!)
D I only get to pick 1? I think that is impossible!
I think I will have to say that “Jesus Is The Lord” is the one!
But Mercy Seat is a very close second…lol ( I couldn’t help myslef…I had to pick two! :)
Thanks so much!
Julie
“Mercy seat”, most definitely. I have and always will love that song!!! I’m going to blog about it and tweet about it as well :)
