Seriously! The lyrics, melodies and rhythms speak to the deepest part of me, the place beyond words. I feel the closest to God when I'm making or listening to music. I learn SO much about faith and life from it and it amazes me how I can listen to a song hundreds of times and then suddenly it's like I'm hearing it again for the first time and getting something totally new out of it. It's one of God's greatest gifts to me and I cannot imagine life without it. Music is one of my absolute favorite things about being alive. Seriously!

Apparently, and I think quite truthfully, the Christian music industry cares very little for theological orthodoxy (see the hilarious South Park episode on the subject). Is this band, by chance called, "The Arians"? I think it’s funny that the artist thanked God first and Jesus second.
