I stayed up late last night browsing through some records in my music folder, most of which I haven't even listened to yet and I could not believe myself for letting this huge pile of folders left untouched and unrecognized. I have these songs by record so what I did was I randomly chose like two songs from each record to listen to and if I don't like it I deleted the whole album, which makes me a jerk but I couldn't think of a faster way to clean up this accumulating madness. And so I was halfway through that process when I stumbled upon this record by Audrey Assad, I thought the album cover was neat so I started playing it and I ended up playing all 11 songs and it was not until the 5th track when I realized that it was actually CCM. I was so blown away at how the songs were written with pure honesty without sacrificing beauty. Her voice alone is already the type to bring in the chills, that coupled with moving lyrics, sent me instantly to tearsville.

I saw her "the making" video and she said these things about how she hopes that once the listeners hear the record that they'll be able to be more comfortable with the place they're in. That whatever questions or doubts they might be struggling through, whatever suffering they're trying to make sense of and whatever they're wondering about God and how He works, she hopes that her songs are honest enough and empathetic enough that they don't feel like being preached to but rather related to. And that's exactly how it felt to me.

And so I'm leaving you with this, currently my most favorite worship song. I'm suggesting anyone to grab a copy of this amazing record, it's definitely worth listening to.
