Words.

I'm a words person.

Maybe that's why I can't usually enjoy secular music.
Sure, she has a pretty voice... But those words... Catch in my throat.

I can't get these lyrics by Audrey Assad out of my head.

Yeah, maybe she's not your style...

But there's no way that you can say her words aren't lovely.

Scripture based, worship based, prayer based...

And I'll take that over the most talented musician singing about money, lust and highs.

From the love of my own comfort
From the fear of having nothing
From a life of worldly passions
Deliver me O God

From the need to be understood
From the need to be accepted
From the fear of being lonely
Deliver me O God
Deliver me O God

And I shall not want, I shall not want
When I taste Your goodness I shall not want
When I taste Your goodness I shall not want

From the fear of serving others
From the fear of death or trial
From the fear of humility
Deliver me O God
Deliver me O God

And I shall not want, I shall not want
When I taste Your goodness I shall not want

No, I shall not want, I shall not want
When I taste Your goodness I shall not want

When I taste Your goodness I shall not want
