I've been enjoying Michael Gungor's new album, Ghosts Upon the Earth. I love when I come across an album that I like both the musicality and lyric content. Here are lyrics to "Ezekiel" - beautiful picture of Christ redeeming his bride.
I found you naked
I found you lying there in blood
Your mother left you
Your father threw you out unloved
I clothed your body
I washed the blood and earth from your hair
I gave you jewelry
I gave you everything I had
I gave my heart - my heart, my love - I gave my heart - my heart, my love
You became mine
You were a stunning bride
The world they saw you and how you loved their eyes, my bride
You broke my heart - my heart, my love - you broke my heart - my heart, my love
You sold your body exposed yourself to all, my love
You slept with strangers; you gave them everything we had
Come back my love
My love come back
Come back my love
My love come back
And below is their acoustic performance of "When Death Dies." I don't know about you, but I say that beat boxing cellist is pretty amazing.
