A few years ago, a friend introduced me to Lovelite, a group from Southern California whose purpose is to “inspire praise in the hearts of God’s people and desire in the hearts of the lost.” Their latest release, Nearness, is an album that is heavy rotation on the old iPhone lately.
When I’m deciding on music to listen to, sound is important, but solid lyrics are huge. With lyrics like
You cannot be moved, eclipsing all of time
I’m grateful just to know, I’m even on Your mind
That’s enough for me — from Brevity
and
You, the only true God, who fashioned the world
The invisible one with visible love
You carried my blame ignited a flame
The invisible one with visible love — from Invisible One
and
If worlds crumble and all is lost, my endless joy remains
I am fulfilled when I know You, finding my great reward
You opened my blind eyes, came here and saved me
Finally free to sing Your praise — from Finally Free
…Nearness was an easy choice.
If you like the indie/Death Cab for Cutie/Coldplay-type sound, give Lovelite a listen. Their two earlier albums (Lovelite and All Color) are equally great listens.
Hey – you can even download their newest album for free, a Tweet, or a donation here.
So, what are you listening to lately?
