S.A.N.S. Episode 187: Wonderful Thing

Posted on August 7, 2022 by expressyourself4him

Bret and Diana Pemelton formed Dream of Eden in Nashville, Tennessee. To a certain extent, Dream of Eden followed the mold set by Out of the Grey. While the Pemelton’s hasn’t had the national success of Out of the Grey, they have still produced albums that have touched my heart. Today’s featured song Wonderful Thing is also the first song on their album with the same name.

But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us, Romans 5:8.

The lyrics of Wonderful Thing are inspired by the love of Jesus. Knowing that Jesus was willing to lay down his life for sinners is a wonderful thing. While John 3:16-17 gets more recognition, Paul’s words in the passage above display God’s grace and mercy. While Dream of Eden’s pop and soft rock isn’t for everyone, I hope you enjoy Wonderful Thing.

S.A.N.S. 140: Steady Me

Posted on June 20, 2022 by expressyourself4him

Scott and Christine Denté are the Christian couple behind the music group Out of the Grey. In the early 90’s, The Shape of Grace album put this couple on the map. While their debut album Out of the Grey was released in 1991, the Shape of Grace proved that this Christian group wasn’t just a one hit wonder. In my eyes, Steady Me is the ideal mix of great sound with solid biblical lyrics.

And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint, Galatians 6:9.

As I was completing my final semester of college in 1992, I would blast Steady Me in my car stereo. One of the stanzas ends with the words ” It amazes me how gracefully You steady me.” For the Denté’s, God is the one who steadies Christians as they endure the trials and tribulations in life. When you click on the attached video above, may this song steady your faith and revive your soul.
