The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul

Douglas Adams penned this title for one of his books and I think it describes the way many of us have felt for periods of time in our life. For some, these times may last a few hours. While for others these times last for years. This got me thinking about songs that remind Christians of what we have and what we are living for. The following five songs are ones that I recommend every Christian have on their iPod or Archos music players. (Songs are listed as title, followed by the group who performed it.)

  1. Wonderfully Made- The Waiting
  2. In the First Light- Glad
  3. Walk Toward the Light- Greg X Volz
  4. Voice of Truth- Casting Crowns
  5. He Will Carry Me- Mark Shultz

The first song “Wonderfully Made” is the song that I have woken up to every morning for over a year.. What better way is there to start the day than to be reminded that God made you special and he loves you very much.

(Feel free to suggest some other good songs in the comments area for this post.)
