By God’s grace, there are now many places to look for theologically sound, reformed music. In my experience, however, I have found a great deal of this music to be lyrically stimulating while musically uncreative.
Kenneth Padgett, a friend of mine and a long-time fan of DG, has created a musical experience called The Joy Eternal. What is The Joy Eternal?
The first song being released is called Finally Alive (based on Piper’s book with the same title):
Finally Alive
I was dead and depraved and I loved my sin
I was lifeless in the grave of hopelessness
But I'm Finally Alive
I've been made new
I'm satisfied in You
And these dead bones live
And this new heart beats
For You
You, in Your loving kindness healed my blindness and let me see.
Now I can see and savor, enjoy forever Your majesty!
I'm Finally Alive
I've been made new
I'm satisfied in You
And these dead bones live
And this new heart beats
For You
Kenneth is presently working on several more songs that will be releasing sometime soon as an EP. I have listened to some of the new songs and they are fantastic. I can’t wait for you guys to hear them.
