new song

Nina introduced me to this music by Sojourn and it is so great.....impressive musicianship, stylistically interesting, thoughtful lyrics, etc.
Here is a song called Lead Us Back from their album, Before the Throne. I've listened to it no less than 15 times in the last 3 days, being brought to tears almost every time.

Falling down upon our knees,
Sharing now in common shame,
We have sought security,
Not the cross that bears Your name.
Fences guard our hearts and homes --
Comfort sings a siren tune.
We're a valley of dry bones;
Lead us back to life in You.

Lord we fall upon our knees,
We have shunned the weak and poor,
Worshipped beauty, courted kings
And the things their gold affords,
Prayed for those we'd like to know --
Favor sings a siren tune.
We've become a talent show;
Lead us back to life in You.

You have caused the blind to see,
We have blinded him again
With our man-made laws and creeds,
Eager, ready to condemn.
Now we plead before Your throne --
Power sings a siren tune.
We've been throwing heavy stones;
Lead us back to life in You.

We're a valley of dry bones
Lead us back to life in You.
We've become a talent show
Lead us back to life in You.
We've been throwing heavy stones
Lead us back to life in You.

.......It's such a powerful song that leads me to repent of my quest for security and comfort, of my desire to have the approval of others, of my judgementalness (if that's a word). I think you should buy their album. :)
