Oldie but Goodie

Tired of "TV dinner" contemporary christian music, I didn't look for any new Christian music for a long time. I felt I heard the same things over and over again and it all felt so empty. It reminded me of a sopapilla, covered in sugar and delicious for a few seconds, then giving away to a hollow center.
Then I heard Over Oceans by Josh Garrels and loved its rawness and originality. When Love & War & the Sea in Between came out, it instantly revitalized my listening--and playing in services. Not only did it make Josh Garrels my favorite artist in any genre, but it gave me some rich food with which to fuel my spiritual walk.
Love & War & the Sea in Between changed the way I write to God now, feeling I can be blunt and raw and down-to-earth, instead of airy and full of nothing (as uplifting "Breathe" was at first, the lyrics seem a bit, well, cliche and repetitive), like empty carbs in a sopapilla. Essentially, it brought down my relationship with God to personal terms, where my shortcomings loom large, my guilt is put in his hands, and his salvation feels delicious.

This is a song from "Over Oceans," called Decision.
