my kandinsky

i was feeling bored for a moment today so i decided to put on my 'whassup worship' playlist and 'draw' the first four songs that came up and these creations came from those sketches, so i thought i'd share them with you.

one like You, Audio Adrenaline

first of all, this has to be my favorite all time song from Audio A. this is a seriously legit jam that i could pretty much listen to anytime. i like it so much because it describes so simply yet so perfectly the feeling close to God in the midst of worship. i know i've said things before about how we shouldn't live from mountaintop to mountaintop, but those feelings of spiritual closeness just get me so pumped up about life (Jason knows what i'm talking about).

You are my joy, David Crowder* Band

another seriously legit song. this could perhaps be my favorite DCB song, but if i keep going with this, i could quite literally get into an argument with myself. this also has a similar vibe to one like You. it attempts to describe in extreme and vivid ways the inexpressible joy associated with closeness to God. the way we feel simply praising or listening to Him is just awesome and He can fulfill and devastate us with His Grace and Love at the same time.

revolutionary Love, David Crowder* Band

here's another prime example of a really cool DCB song. on the obvious side, Dave is talking about God's Love that radically changes and influences everyone who runs into it, but there is a lot more to this jam. the obvious idea is contrasted with the unchanging aspect of God's Love. God never changes, His Love never changes, yet they change everything when one meets up with His Love for the first time. it has sort of 'an unstoppable force meets an immovable object'  feel, though we are nowhere close to either of those.

how wonderful, Leeland

this song springs to my mind the idea of 'sold (souled) out worship.' just the exuberance and passion emanating from Leeland's (yes, the band is named after the lead singer) voice puts you in that place of silent personal worship (i mean toward God, of course, just like in your thoughts an within yourself...  yeah). i've always like the idea of worship songs with 'how' in them, as if the only way to express the Greatness of God is to ask a question ( you know, i just realized i should've put a question mark instead of a cross, snap!). the song also gives the idea of us being captivated and simply mesmerized by God's Love and Grace, which i find to be so true. how wonderful is His Grace?
