My New Favorite

I've been highly anticipating the new David Crowder*Band CD entitled "Remedy", which FINALLY dropped today. I called two different stores to find it then rushed right out to get it - paying retail because I didn't have a coupon. But no matter, it was worth the $15.01 I spent. My favorite so far is the title song. Great lyrics, but you gotta hear it set to music, oh - my - gosh!

"Remedy"

Here we are
Here we are
The broken and used
Mistreated, abused
Here we are

Here You are
Here You are
The beautiful one
Who came like a Son
Here You are

So we lift up our voices
We open our hands
To cling to the love
That we can't comprehend

Oh, lift up your voices
And lift up your heads
To sing of the love
That has freed us from sin

He is the one
Who has saved us
He is the one
Who embraced us
He is the one who has come
And is coming again
He's the remedy

Here we are
Here we are
Bandaged and bruised
Awaiting a cure
Here we are

Here You are
Here You are
Our beautiful King
Bringing relief
Here You are with us

So we lift up our voices
And open our hands
Let go of the things
That have kept us from Him

He is the one
Who has saved us
He is the one
Who forgave us
He is the one who has come
And is coming again
He's the remedy

Oh, I can't comprehend
I can't take it all in
Never understand
Such perfect love come
For the broken and beat
For the wounded and weak
Oh, come fall at His feet
He's the remedy
He's the remedy

So sing, sing

You are the one
Who has saved us
You are the one
Who forgave us
You are the one who has come
And is coming again
Oh, to make it alright
You're the remedy
Oh, in us
You're the remedy

Let us be the remedy
Let us bring the remedy



Such a great song.

I love to open up the liner notes and study every detail about the CD. This one didn't let me down. There's a section that reads: "Where there is pain. . . let us bring serenity. For those afraid, let us be brave. Where there is misery, let us bring relief. Let us be the remedy." Also one that reads: "When clouds veil the sun and disaster comes. . . Remedy is coming."

Also of interest, "Additional Musicians: Ted Nugent"

Can't wait to listen to the WHOLE thing - over and over and over.
