I don’t think much of a lot of contemporary Christian music, but this song is a glaring exception. I thought of it in part because it was done during the offertory at worship this morning where I serve (Christ Saint Paul’s, Yonges Island, S.C.) Take the time to listen to it all and to take in some of the circumstances that led to the writing of the song–KSH.
It is a wonderful song – I have enjoyed listening to it with my teenage kids. They ‘get it’ and can express the value of suffering in drawing us closer to God and that our expectations are not always His ways – that He gives us what love demands, not what our temporal perspectives want.
