I recently posted a few songs by Gungor from their new release Ghosts Upon The Earth. Well the David Crowder*Band also has a new, and final, release – Give Us Rest. Both of these albums are epic in how beautifully they depict the story of GOD…which is also our story. A story of tragic loss…death-defying love and redemption…restoration and eternal joy. Oh that we would embrace the HUGE-NESS and the REALITY of this incredible epic in which we all find ourselves. Instead, we tend to spend our lives consumed with lesser things, seemingly oblivious to the feast set before us. As C.S. Lewis said, “”If we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered to us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”
Here’s one of my favorite songs from the DCB album. I hope you’ll give it a listen…and be reinvigorated by this epic story of God.
