Refreshing Music

Posted on 09/25/2007 ::: No Comments Yet, Leave One.


I was introduced to two great artists today.  The first, Ed Cash, is currently a produ cer of many major Christian recording artists such as Starfield and Bebo Norman.  However, before his major producing days he recorded a few records of his own.  The one I was able to sample is "Where Were You?"  The lyrics of which are poetic - something that is not common amongst Christian songwriters in these days.  The other band, while receiving a little more air-time on contemporary Christian radio, is equally soulful with its lyrics.  The band Leeland is made up of a handful of young men whose lyrics and music connect your heart with the spiritual and physical brokenness of our world.    

Wounded and forsaken
I was shattered by the fall
Broken and forgotten
Feeling lost and all alone
Summoned by the King
Into the Master’s courts
Lifted by the Savior
And cradled in His arms

I was carried to the table
Seated where I don’t belong
Carried to the table
Swept away by His love
And I don’t see my brokenness anymore
When I’m seated at the table of the Lord
I’m carried to the table
The table of the Lord

Fighting thoughts of fear
And wondering why He called my name
Am I good enough to share this cup
This world has left me lame
Even in my weakness
The Savior called my name
In His Holy presence
I’m healed and unashamed

You carried me, my God
You carried me
 
-Carried to the Table, Leeland
