This first song comes from an artist I was introduced to by my good friend Jess, who I've mentioned with various positive adjectives in previous posts. We were discussing the song "How He Loves" and she told me about the original artist, then gave me a CD of his.
Once again I'm incredibly thankful for her recommendation because he's brilliant and the music is moving.
Song 83
"Economy" from the album Economy by John Mark McMillan
This is an incredible song about hope and redemption. And if you've been reading all along, you know what hope means to me. I'm not going to get into the lyrics on this one. Go listen to the song on youtube, or better yet go buy it. It's great musically and lyrically.
The Autumn effect seems really obvious to me today, in the final days of the season. The lyrics describe a barren existence. Much like the life of the trees and other flora in this season. As Winter draws nigh, the nights are longer, and the cold is really taking hold...there needs to be something to lift our heads to.
Just like in life. We get to those cold barren places, and they are necessary for growth to begin again. But to be able to lift your head up and see something, rather some one ready raise you up. It's moving stuff.
grace, peace + hope
-Jesse
