His graven hands go offering life from Death
who thought Christ took more than He could bear.
Death rejoiced at the sound of the hammer’s clang
of the nail into the wood as the Son of God sang,

But really it’s just our voices in their ears

And bring to life their deepest, darkest fears
In light of my previous post lamenting the state of contemporary Christian music, I thought it best to offer an alternative. This post will hopefully be the first of multiple to show different Christian artists that I believe are using their gifts to create new and unique sounds and worshipping God through that creativity.

How Belief in a Creative God Should Influence Our Music
I have a problem with Christian music. Specifically, contemporary Christian music. As in, the modern contemporary Christian music that is frequently played over radio stations to be used as a banner for Christians to rally around and listen to exclusively.

Yellow to green, skip red, then on to brown
Nothing seems to work right in this town!
Seasons come and go, then come again
And as the leaves on the trees begin to look thin
They are revived, a second, third and fourth fall
Will winter ever come? Is this all
A half-hearted, false-started farce?
