I bought a CD on amazon about a month ago, and haven't seen it since. Kyle swiped it and has been listening to it on his way to work. Since he is a musician he usually listens to the music more than the lyrics. I was really impressed when he brought this CD home and says listen to the lyrics of this song. It was my missing Desperation band CD the song he played for me was Pleasing to You. I haven't even listened to the lyrics until he said that. I am especially a huge fan of Jared Anderson. We were introduced to these guys at YA conference spring of 05, I think. We've never really fully recovered. :) Kyle liked the group more than I at first. Now I am hooked on phonics too. I like their style that is sort of like Coldplay or U2. Which I enjoy both, but I am glad to hear some lyrics that really build my spirit.

What I am listening to today: Desperation Band, Pleasing to You
The lyrics of this song are where I find my heart crying out most days. I want to be pleasing to God, but there is a struggle of self that I think every Christian will all battle until the day we die. I am going to die trying.
Sanctify me
Clean out my closet
Take away anything
That is not pleasing to You
Purify me
Destroy all my anger
Wash away everything
That is not pleasing to You
I will be white as snow
I will be pure as gold
Jesus my heart must know
I'm pleasing to You
I give my life my all
Taking the cross I will follow
Jesus my heart must know
I'm pleasing to You

How new is this one - i have most of all their stuff - we do it at church - you could say there for a while we were the cover band for desperation, but I haven't heard this - I'm going to have to go get it!
The CD is called Overcome. It's the newest one, I think. It was produced in 2007. Dunno. I love them too. The service we pastored in Ohio did almost every song off the Rooftops CD, and the service up here does a few of their songs. They are good. This new CD songs a lot like Hillsong United though. They have two girls and the three guys that swap leading. I like that.
