My husband still continues to exert a bit of his musical tastes in our family. While I love more down to earth, simple songs I also love me some Skillet! My youngest especially loves Skillet, she has their music on her iPod right up against Phantom of the Opera! :)
Ever since yesterday's song of the day I have been singing THIS song so I thought I would continue the theme (Awake...) and insert it. Skillet's musical style and lyrics take the world of Christian rock to a whole new level. A good level that is! We've come a long long long way since Petra and Stryper, both of whom get credit for forging a path for groups like Skillet to emerge.
This song I particularly love for not just it's lyrics but also it's tune. Skillet just knows how to rock AND they have two chicks in the band that rock out as well! You gotta respect that!
We are told in the word of God to be in the world but not of it and this song expands on that verse. To be in the world and not of it is a daily battle for the world we live in is enticing to the flesh. So much of this world we live in looks innocent on the surface but go below the surface and that is where you get sucked into the darkness of it. In order to resist the enticements of the flesh we have to remain awake - alert - aware - and that will lead us to being more alive than we ever thought we could be.
Have some time? Listen in on some of Skillet's other tunes - Whispers in the Dark, Hero, The Older I Get. Forgiven, and Monster are some fave's of this family! :)
