"We wore the colors of our favorite little let down"

Those lyrics from this week's selection have always grabbed me. 

They seem especially relevant as we enter the opening weeks of football season. Now, I'm pretty sure "Tyrant Kings" is more about what's really important in life than football fandom. Based on one video, they explain that it's how we strive for our dreams at the expense of family and friendships (see the 5:00-7:00 min interlude of this video). 

But that lyric perfectly captures sports fandom, doesn't it?

Only one team will win the championship. Every season we wear the jerseys and hats and face-paint with the colors of teams that mostly let us down (Alabama football being the exception). 

Maybe the connection between this song and football season only makes sense to me. But it's a good enough excuse to post a video of the song this week. I have a feeling it will be a song that grows and grows on you because it sure did with me.

Someone from my church showed me this week's video. I think I'd heard the song once or twice - but it was only at the stage in my head where I liked the song but hadn't really paid too close attention to it.

Turns out, the video grabs your attention and doesn't give it back. Ms. Daigle has an uniquely powerful voice and delivers this beautiful song with conviction. And "conviction" is the word that I'm left with from this single. 

So many of us need to remember what God says about us. So many need to forget the lies we believe about ourselves.
