I bought a CD the other day and gave it a spin last night... and oh my, it touched me like no other CD I've ever listened to.The singer's name is Todd Agnew, the name of the CD is Better Questions.Here's the Amazon link:http://www.amazon.com/Better-Questions-Todd-Agnew/dp/B000R7I3LOThe lyrics on this CD deal with some tough issues and are based very much in the reality and messiness of our spirituality in Christ. Most of these songs I can relate to more than than usual "rah rah I love Jesus" lyrics in most of Christian music.I highly recommend this CD to everyone reading this... it will tear your heart out and make you re-examine where you are with the Lord.And just a side note for those who have an issue with Christian rock... the musical style of this CD is very bluesy Southern Rock. Just didnt want you to run out and buy it and then be offended.Check out these lyrics from two of the songs on the CD:[i][b]Peace On Earth[/b]As long as we say prayers for our childrenThat we do not pray for othersThere won't be...And as long as we take offerings for those in needTo appease our guilt over our greedThere won't be...There won't be peace on earthThere won't be peace on earthThere won't be peace on earthThere won't be, there won't beWon't be peaceWhen a Chinese girl and a Haitian boyAnd an American child all share the same toysThere might be, there might be...When the TV brings a tear to our eyesAnd it's not a movie, but news of a hungry child across the worldThere might be...There might be peace on earthThere might be peace on earthThere might be peace on earthThere might be, there might beMight be peaceWhen I look at the world and see...(Rap:)We got a problemWe're seeing the surfaces too oftenWhether race or religionIt makes no differenceThe blood paid penanceForgiven the death sentenceNo lines no more, no rich, no poorNo Jew, no Greek, no slave, no freeWhen I look at you and see someone just like meThere might be, there might be...When the Lord of all is the Lord of eachAnd I love you like He loves meThere might be...No, there will be[/i][i][b]Lovers In Our Heads[/b]Mary's driving home again, she's crying againJohnny left her for another girlShe's embarrassed by her loneliness and haunted by her shameEveryone's reacting just the sameAs she feared they wouldAre we more concerned with the fruit of anotherNever noticing our own barren branches?Are we more consumed with casting stones at each otherWhile ignoring the lovers in our beds?Our own beds in our headsMary's driving home again, turns on the radio'Cause no one's writing songs about divorceShe could use a verse or twoAnything that brings just a fewMoments of light on the middle of this darknessGod hears her criesAs her tears fall rivaling the grains of sandWe have His heartWhat is keeping us from being His hands?Mary's driving home again, turns off the radio'Cause no one's writing songs about divorce... yet[/i]Krispy
