The Michael Gungor Band

So this week i have come across the album that is most likely to be playing on repeat on my ipod for quite a while! By the Michael Gungor Band, and it is absolutely brilliant. Michael Gungor and his Wife who is also in the band, lead a church in Denver i think, and i came across them on worship central when they were talking about creativity and stuff on the worship central podcast (Which by the way is amazing, and what inspired me to go check them out)

And they’re album, named ‘Ancient Skies’ is just amazing, they have such a beautifully fresh sound, and the lyrics are just poetically brilliant, and just so honest! The album ranges from beautiful congregational worship songs, and brighter songs like the one i talk about below!…

If you are looking for a new fresh album of worship songs, this is it! If this is the future of contemporary worship music then i can’t wait! But even if you just want an album of fresh sounds, musically brilliant songs and inspiring lyrics, then you must get this album!!

They have a video which i have put below, for perhaps the most abstract song on the album, called white man, which is basically saying, ‘God is not a man, God is not a white man, etc’ which is brilliant, and obviously written to challenge the way that we can ‘Box God in’ or have this view of him that he is just a man! Obviously Jesus is God, and God did make himself man, but this song is making the statement that God is not just a man, because even Jesus was fully divine too. All it is basically saying is if someone asked us Who is God? and we replied, ‘He is a man’ Then that is such an inadequate description of the creator of the universe. It is a brilliant song check it out, and buy the album!…
