Have you heard of Rush of Fools?



You can check them out at www.rushoffools.com. They opened for the Newsboys last night, and I was genuinely impressed. How impressed was I?...I came home with their CD and their tshirt. Anyways...their entire 45 minute set was given to praise and worship, and it was an absolutely beautiful time before the Lord. No messing around; no rambling testimonies; no typical Christian rock show antics; just spill your guts and cry out to Jesus kind of worship. It was cleansing. It was pure. And I LOVED it! Here are the lyrics to one of their songs:

I've been here before, now here I am again
Standing at the door, praying You'll let me back in
To label me a prodigal would be
Only scratching the surface of who I've been known to be

Turn me around pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, need Your help
I can't do this myself
You're the only one who can undo
What I've become

I focused on the score, but I could never win
Trying to ignore, a life of hiding my sin
To label me a hypocrite would be
Only scratching the surface of who I've been known to be

Turn me around pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, need Your help
I can't do this myself
You're the only one who can undo
What I've become

Make every step lead me back to
The sovereign way that You
Turn me around pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, need Your help
I can't do this myself
You're the only one who can undo
What I've become

They're a great band. You should seriously check them out!
