Your Name is sweeter than the rain that falls upon the face of dry and weary land and causes us to turn our face again

Artist- Grungor
Song of the day- Higher

I've often been at odds with a lot of contemporary christian worship songs. They can easily seem forced, fake or just cheezy. I think there's a Simpson's episode that describes writing christian music as replacing the word "baby" with "Jesus" or vis versa in any love song. So I've grown a strong appreciation for Grungor's new album and the subtle but humble take on it. There's is a strong Sufjan Steven's feel without overplaying it, making it an extremely personal song and universal at the same time. But also this overwhelming calm like floating down a still water river. And sometimes that's all you need in life is to get back to that still calming place, when everything gets too complicated and you can step back and appreciate what you know is true and what will get you through. So here's to your still quiet places, may you find yours or may it find you today.



There is no one there is no one like You
no one like you
in heaven or on earth

only good things can ever come from you
even your judgment
is righteous and true

Your Name is sweeter than the rain that falls upon
the face of dry and weary land
and causes us to turn our face again
Your Name be praised
and be lifted higher

There is no one...

With every morning there are mercies new
Your kindness
brings us back to you

Your name is stronger than the pain
it's covering the shame of all these weary hands
and causing us to turn our face again
Your Name be praised
