I have really been impacted as of late by a cd that I had for years. It was originally my brothers and when he left it passed onto me. The name of it, Iona: Journey into the mourn. It is a really unique and amazing cd. What really impacted me was the equal quality of musicianship and lyrics. Most people are very narrow minded when it comes to Christian music in general. IF the lyrics are good that is all that matters, when in reality Christianity is a equal work of our hands and our will. So Christian music should be the same. A double edged sword. Not a back sword. Not a single edged weapon.
Also what really impacted me was that these musicians really knew how to war in the spirit with their music and songs, unlike most Christian music that isn’t technically classified as "worship music." Just overall it is good to hear a truly great Christian group whose works and words are equal.
Iona is truly unique in the fact that each of their cds is unique and has its own feel to it. Both of their cds that I own have painted pictures of Heaven in my mind, and have blown me away. I have actually had HEavenly imagery when hearing soem of their songs. Especially the songs of ascent featured on "Open Sky", one of their later albums. Sigh... If only more Christian music was like this. But as long as people continue to be won over by someone trained to tickle their ears, despite the fact that most of them dont even write their own music, Christian music will not reach and ascend into the next level. That level where it takes us on an ascent towards our God.
