Question:
I recently found out that two of the songs I've been hearing and liking on my local Christian radio station ("Saved By Grace" (AKA "The Gospel Song") and "Mercy Reigns") are both Shane And Shane songs. I also remember that I used to really like the song "Unto You" off of my girlfriend's copy of their "Psalms" CD (until she lost it ). Give me some other suggestions of good, Scripturally-solid songs from these guys, and suggestions on which of their albums would be best to pick up. I already found this site which seems to have samples, lyrics, and chord sheets for all of their songs, which is always a plus, but I'd like some help sorting through it.
In His love,
Nate
Answer:
Shane Barnard's cd "Rocks Won't Cry" is AWESOME. It's about half studio recordings, half live show. Pretty much all of their material is scripturally solid. This and some of their older work has some incredible guitar work on it; the new cd I noticed sounds a little bland, less amazing-guitar-skills-oriented.
Answer:
Honestly, I could care less about their guitar playing. When I look for new worship music, musicianship of the performers is one of the last things I look for. I'm talking more about lyrical quality of specific songs.
Answer:
I kinda like their Psalm 118 (This is the Day)
Answer:
Psalm 145. The lyrics are pretty biblical.
Answer:
I think just about all of their stuff is Scripturally solid. None of their albums have disappointed me, but I think Carry Away is a pretty strong album, which includes "Mercy Reigns". "Saved By Grace" is on their new album Clean
Also, "When I Think About the Lord" from the Carry Away album is a great, lyrically simple song to add to your repertoire. :)

Romans 8:1
Answer:
I think that Psalm 13 is a good song to use in a worship setting, since both hymnody and modern worship music lack any songs of that particular ilk.

Is that the one they do with "The Lord is gracious and slow to anger," etc, etc? Geez. That is such a great tune. I can't believe I forgot that one. I'll have to add that one to the list of songs to learn.
Thanks for all the replies, guys. I'll look into all of them.
In His love,
Nate
