In protest of Cynicism…

More music that is rocking my soul- the lyrics on this new album of Derek’s are sharpening me, at times painfully. I love music that I don’t always understand the full meaning of the first time through, I’ve been chewing on these two songs the last few weeks. Listen & share and hey- his album is available for pre-sale on his website. Order it.

 

“I’m always looking for the right things to protest. As a result each of my albums has a few protest songs on them. and “Everything Will Change” s a song protesting cynicism. Which I suppose , really is a song protesting myself. And because as a man charged with telling a story in which there is a kingdom coming where all things will be made right there is no place for my cynicism. Cynicism is what happens when we give up hope that anything can be different. But the reality of that kingdom coming says that there is nothing on which my hope is wasted.” ~ Derek Webb

Everything will Change

“There are a lot of moments in my life when I want what I want… when I want it. l can be incredibly impatient, which can lead me to take matters into my own hands. and these moments, I simply don’t believe God when he says he knows what I need and will provide it when I need it. it’s me looking at him in  his face and saying “I don’t believe you. I know best”. and this is something to be resisted and repented of. ” ~ Derek Webb
