I keep coming back to this band. Their self titled album has quickly become one of my favorites and I appreciate their lyrics more and more with each fresh listen. Here is one of the better songs from the album.
So Elated
Redemption
I’ve got melody
runnin’ through my veins
And the blood I bleed was transfused by you
All the air that you breathed first
And the water that quenches thirst
Everything I need was redeemed by you
And the work of your redemption blankets every fear we know
And the song of your redemption blares above the radio
And the hand of your redemption carries everybody home
We are the redemption
Every war torn state
Every child born with AIDS
Every broke down mixed-up place is being fixed by you
Every political view
Every Christian, Muslim, Jew
Is being recreated new and fixed by Jesus
And the work of your redemption blankets every fear we know
And the song of your redemption blares above the radio
And the hand of your redemption carries everybody home
We are the redemption

Very cool band, how have you not told me about them before, and where did you hear about them? Any more recommendations you're hiding?
Any interesting responses about the interfaith line in there from people you know and have talked about this band with? Some thinking it's too open by equating the religions before Jesus' living work? Some thinking it's too exclusivist for implying other religions are being drawn to Jesus? Either way, highly intriguing...
