I got Travis the Welcome Wagon album, Welcome to the Welcome Wagon, for Christmas, and it is amazing. It is great if you are like me and you would prefer to listen to music about Jesus but you would also prefer that your music isn't totally lame. The group is a married couple, and he is a presbyterian minister in Brooklyn, NY. And, it is produced by Sufjan Stevens. If you like Sufjan, and you like Jesus, you will like this.
I have posted the lyrics to my favorite song on the album, Up on a Mountain.
Up on a mountain
Our Lord is alone
Without a family, friends, or a home
He cries, "Oo, oo, oo, will you stay with me?"
He cries, "Oh, oh, oh, will you wait with me?"
Up on a mountain
Our Lord is afraid
Carrying all the mistakes we have made
And He knew
It's a long way down
Do you know
It's a long way down?
Up in the heavens
Our Lord prays for you
He sends His spirit to carry us through
So it's true
That you're not alone
Do you know
He came all the way down?
So it's true
That you're not alone
Do you know
He came all the way down?

Okay, I am getting very liberal in my distribution of comments on your blog, and for that I am sorry. But I have to totally agree that Christian music is lame. I was thinking about this in the car yesterday as I flipped past 102.3 or whatever the other one is. Why does it have to be soooo bad? Are the standards lower for "making it" in the Christian music industry? Seriously. It's troublesome to me. As you can see, you struck a chord. Good job.
