Today I finally listened to my cd. This cd.

Due to a little mix up with addresses and such, I finally got the copy I was graciously given by Provident, through BooMama, a few months ago.

And all I can say is… Wow. Just… wow.

I popped the cd in when I got in the car today, full of anticipation. My first thought, though, was, What if I don’t end up liking this cd? I mean, I’ve got their button on my sidebar… and I don’t actually know if I like their music. Guess I shoulda thought of that. I’ve heard a few of their songs on video clips and short sound clips, and yet hadn’t heard the whole cd… But hey, I just trusted BooMama’s judgement, and therefore liked Monk and Neagle through her, right or wrong.

So the first song started. I think I do actually like this…

Then the next song came on–”The 21st Time. ” It gave me chills. I think this is going to be my favorite song on the cd…

Then “Hallelujah Jesus.” Changed my mind. SO worshipful. I fell in love with this song.

I smiled all the way through “Stars Would Fall.” How neat is it that these guys have songs to their wives on their cd…. this sounds like something John would sing to me… I love it when he sings to me… wow, I’m actually one of those girls whose husbands sing love songs to her… I’m so blessed… oh yeah, the song… I love this song.

Then. THEN. “What Soldiers Do.” Why wasn’t I warned?!? I bawled. Seriously, bawled my lil eyeballs out. As in, I’m not sure it was safe to be driving. That one was a wee bit close to home.

I could give you a play-by-play of my thought process through each song (and how the big public transportation bus behind me had to honk, oh-so-gently, when I was listening to “More Than That” and the light turned green), but I’ll spare you.

The better thing is to encourage recommend urge command you to make a stop at your nearest Christian book store and pick up a copy of this cd. The Lord is using these two guys… yessiree.
