@DCussen I am in agreement. Discovered this two days ago. The album is very good if one will just invest a few listens. This song is truly beautiful in every way. I just melt when I listen to it.

@DCussen I stand corrected. I was reading on Wikipedia about Glass Hammer and it said that their music is inspired by Christianity (their 2002 release Lex Rex was a concept album based on a Roman soldier's encounter with Jesus). But, it also said "Although by their own admission they have tried to avoid becoming an overtly Christian band", which made it easy for me to think the contrary about them. But, it doesn't really matter. I LOVE their music!!!!

@incubus442 They're not labeled a "Christian Rock" band, but the truth is, many of their lyrics reflect their Christian beliefs. That's much more authentic to me, anyway. They're the total package, I don't have to sacrifice good music to hear a Christian band. That said, all their lyrics aren't Christian, but that's fine with me. I am amazed by them. I got their Lex Rex album, too, which is fantastic.

@DCussen I agree with you that they are utterly amazing! But I must differ with you about one thing. They aren't a Christian rock band.  They are not what you would expect to come out of Chattanooga, Tennessee. A rare gem of an American progressive rock band.

Don't mean to "over post", but this has just got to be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

Man....I've just discovered these people. Utterly amazing. I've worn out my Yes, and my Led Zep was just too evil, finally had to get rid of it. These guys are Christian, and this music is beyond anything I knew was still out there.
