Ok, I know this is another cheap post, but I've got more lyrics for you -- Hosanna and Belong, by Jason Morant. Seriously, check these songs out on his MySpace. The ambient instrumental bits in Hosanna are awesome...
Hosanna
There was a man who smiled like the sunrise
His face I can’t forget
His love displayed was unlike any other
He humbly dressed just like a vagabond with
Discourse like a King
And when he talked the angels stopped to listen
Hosanna Filio David, Hosanna In Altisimis
(trans: Hosanna, Son of David, Hosanna in the Highest)
He often spoke about a Kingdom coming
His words I can’t forget
Where all who come may rest beneath His mercy
Where royalty is flowing through the veins of
Every citizen
And every soul is treasured like a promise
Belong
With me on Your mind
You looked through time
And saw what I
Would become without Your blood
Without Your breath
And so You came
And You drank from that precious cup
You partook with love
And that war You won
For I could do nothing
No sword in hand
No way to stand and fight
Now I forever belong to You
I will always belong to You
If on Your throne You'd stayed
If justice had her way
Alone I'd have remained
Without this song to sing
And Your breath to breathe
And so You bled for me
And I forever belong to You
And I will always belong to You
I think I've realised what I like about them so much -- they are just so simple, so focussed, so centred on Jesus. That's awesome, man. We need more stuff like that, rather than the "Jesus makes me strong and happy" or "I'm gonna do great things 'cos I've got the Spirit's power" rubbish that gets churned out... It also helps that they're the really mellow, ambient, (some may say "whiny") style that I've come to love, too...
