A MUST HAVE Song "Garden" by Needtobreathe

The best decision Taylor Swift ever made was choosing Needtobreathe to open for her on her world tour.  It's rare to find a band as talented as Needtobreathe and I love the fact that they are unashamed followers of Jesus Christ.  On a scale of 1 to 10, this song is a 12. Arranged with a beautiful collection of strings and acoustic guitars, this song is simple yet powerful.  The tone really compliments the lyrics which fit well with the scene of Jesus praying in the garden of Gethsemane.

Here are some things I love about this band.
1.  They are straight up amazing live.  Better than their albums
2.  Bear and Bo are fantastic names
3.  They come from Possum Kingdom, SC.  Fans of alternative music will understand that one
4.  They have outstanding guitar solos (including slide guitar)
5.  Bear rocks the long hair well
6.  Their lyrics are top notch.  Integrity and depth
7.  Bear's voice...can you say amazing????
8. Harmonica
9.  5 star average on Amazon for the album the outsiders.
10. Can you say Banjo?  I can't imagine it an easy task incorporating banjo's in rock and roll, but these guys make it work.
11. The legend Ed Roland (from Collective Soul) helped out with recording efforts.

Get to know this band.  Pray for them, go see them live and buy their music.

Lyrics:

won't you take this cup from me

Cause fear has stolen all my sleep


If tomorrow means my death

Pray you'll save their souls with it


Let the songs I sing bring joy to you

Let the words I say confess my love

Let the notes I choose be your favorite tune

Father let my heart be after you


In this hour of doubt I see

Who I am is not just me

So give me strength to die myself

So love can live to tell the tale


Let the songs I sing bring joy to you

Let the words I say confess my love

Let the notes I choose be your favorite tune

Father let my heart be after you

Father let my heart be

For you

Let the songs I sing bring joy to you

Let the words I say confess my love

Let the notes I choose be your favorite tune

Father let my heart be after you
