It comes down to Chris Rice, Switchfoot, and Sara Groves. They write most of the songs that make me feel like writing about them.
Like Chris Rice's - "Love Has the Final Move." It's about a chess game and eschatology, and even though a fifth-grader could get it, every adult can be rationally comforted by it.
Or Switchfoot's "Awakening." I don't quite know what this song is about, but it's like audio caffeine.
Or Sara Groves' "Kingdom Comes." The song has a rhythm that sounds like a train coming, and the lyrics make you feel like God's kingdom is right on track - just a little this, a little that, and it's coming.
Good stuff! How do they keep doing it?
