Christian Music

I find it so unfortunate when I come across Christians who bag on Christian music. Now granted, there are some Christian bands out there that aren't very good but to throw out all Christian music because you've only been exposed to say Stryper, Amy Grant or Micahel W. Smith is not only sad but LAME! Below is a song that is musically and lyrically fantastic and expresses a heart attitude that we ought to have as Christians. To throw out music like this (which speaks the truth and is edifying) in favor of filling up on secular music is unfortunate to say the very least.

David Crowder shows how to play his sweet tune at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKPaXd5zRMI

Wholly Yours
I am full of earth
You are heaven’s worth
I am stained with dirt, prone to depravity
You are everything
that is bright and clean
The antonym of me
You are divinity

But a certain sign of grace is this
From a broken earth
flowers come up
Pushing through the dirt

You are holy, holy, holy
All heaven cries “Holy, holy God”
You are holy, holy, holy
I wanna be holy like You are

You are everything
that is bright and clean
And You’re covering
me with Your majesty

And the truest sign of grace was this
From wounded hands
redemption fell down
Liberating man

You are holy, holy, holy
All heaven cries “Holy, holy God”
You are holy, holy, holy
I want to be holy like You are

But the harder I try
the more clearly can I feel
The depth of our fall and the weight of it all
And so this might could be
the most impossible thing
Your grandness in me making me clean

Glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
You are holy, holy, holy
All heaven cries “Holy, holy God”
You are holy, holy, holy
I want to be holy like You are

So here I am, all of me
Finally everything
Wholly, wholly, wholly
I am wholly, wholly, wholly
I am wholly, wholly, wholly Yours
I am wholly, wholly Yours
I am full of earth and dirt and You
