Heavy

vs1

i have needs

i cannot deny them 

i was made to want these things 

i will stay if you can supply them

if you can't i'll trade my ring

for a father who loves me enough

to provide what he's made me to love

it's very good you said so yourself 

then you put it so high on the shelf

but i can almost taste it

ch

so i try to make light of things i can't deny are so heavy

whose weight is so great that your body is crushed underneath

yet i stand on your grave and i claim i am tall and i'm steady

but tell the truth i'm bound to fall on you

vs2

it is fruit for which i am reaching

it's simple supply and demand

if it's abstinence that you're preaching

then you'll have to slap my hand

and then say that it's best for me

but tonight i just don't believe

there are some things i'll take at your word

but there are bridges i'm willing to burn

once the toll is taken

ch

i have waited long enough

i have waited long enough

My problem with some of the comments here is that some people want to limit Webb's talent. I love his music. I'm also glad he doesn't hide behind crap. He says things the way it is. So what if he ends up being a bit of a entertainer? He's probably not into entertaining. My point is, if a doctor does well at being a hear surge and he's a Christian, is he just doing it for the money or because he was called into a life of a heart surgeon? Webb was called to play music.

Any guitar guru's out there want to tell me what chord it is he's playing at 1:19ish? During the lines "For a father who loves me enough" and "It's very good you said so yourself." I can't for the life of me figure it out - looks like he's got his fingers on strings that are already fretted higher up.

I'll admit, usually the only "christian" music I really pay attention to is Gospel, and only because it so smoothly intertwines with classical. I'll be sure to look those guys up, tho. I do like seeing people with actual talent suceed.

Jesus Christ was never a pop-star, and I think unfortunately that is what a lot of "Christian" music aspires to be. They try to emulate the secular music industry, and end up looking like posers often when they do. If you like Derek Webb, look up Todd Agnew, Rich Mullins, and Jason Upton. They are some of the more authentic singers I have found, in my opinion.

I blame the megachurches and the fundie evangelicals like Ted Haggard (is Completely Heterosexual) (sorry, couldn't resist) for that...

The fact that its an "industry". Worship music was never ment to be an industry for entertainment or profet. At the core, Christian music "should" be about pointing people back to God. But sometimes it becomes more of an entertainment, and a show.

I love it. Thank you Derek. I'm enjoying the Acoustic versions even more than the Album itself.

@ friday, check out Dustin Kensrue frontman of Thrice and current worship leader of Mars Hill Church in Seatle. Notably look up "it's not enough" he's at another raw lyrical christian artist.

"Derek Webb is fantastic" Uhh...Yes, he is. That was my point. "There's a lot of talent out there" Again, that was my point. I'll say it again: This guy is the gold frikkin standard.

He's seen the darker side of ccm I think. He shouldn't be on that side. We need more people like him that weighs scriptural truth with the bubble gum Jesus music of today.

You seriously ought to broaden your listening habits. Derek Webb is fantastic. But he's not alone and there's a lot of talent out there. Stay away from the major labels and you'll discover some real gems. :)

...Why isn't more Christian music: Less repetitive? On key? Featuring people who can actually sing? Y'know...like this guy is? Seriously, this guy's like the gold frikkin standard for the "Christian music" genreplex, and he pretty much has to self-promote? What is wrong with your industry?
