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.

Song: Garden
Band: Needtobreathe
Album:  The Outsiders

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

Worship Song: Your Love Is Strong - Jon Foreman

Song: Your Love Is Strong
Artist: Jon Foreman
Album: Spring

My sister recommended this album to me and it was a great find! The lyrics and style of this song fit together well. The best lyric is in the second verse where it reminds us that the flowers of the field are better dressed than any girl on her wedding day! That line always sticks with me.

I have purchased all four of his ep's and they are great background music.  This song always refreshing to hear.  He is a master at crafting rich thought provoking music.  I also like how his lyrics are honest and raw.

Lyrics: Your Love Is Strong By Jon Foreman

Heavenly Father
You always amaze me
Let Your kingdom come in my world
And in my life

Give me the food I need
To live through today
Forgive me as I forgive
The people that wrong me

Lead me far from temptation
Deliver me from the evil one

I look out the window
The birds are composing
Not a note is out of tune
Or out of place

I walk to the meadow
And stare at the flowers
Better dressed than any girl
On her wedding day

So why should I worry?
Why do I freak out?
God knows what I need
You know what I need!

Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong

The kingdom of the heavens
Is now advancing
Invade my heart
Invade this broken town

The kingdom of the heavens
Is buried treasure
Would you sell yourself
To buy the one you've found

Two things you told me
That you are strong
And you love me
Yes, you love me

Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong

Our God in Heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Above all names
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven
Give us, today, our daily bread
Forgive us weary sinners
Keep us far from our vices
And deliver us from these prisons
