Jimmy Needham
I liked Jimmy Needham the very first time I heard the song Dearly Loved. The lyrics, the sound, all of it. How do you not like lyrics like these? (You can hear it here on his MySpace page)
To the slaughters you are being led
Being told that it's a party
That this God is in your head
And every single lie
Sounds just like the greatest truth
But the one truth you're not hearing
Is that he died for you
So good. So true. Then the other day I went to see what he had to say for himself on his website (http://www.jimmyneedham.com) and I liked that too. Here are a few quotes that I feel like a lot of us can probably relate to:
“Many of the songs on my first album were birthed out my frustration with friends who claimed to love the Lord but were going out and getting hammered every weekend,”
“I discovered that zeal and passion for God is a good thing, but if you don’t love people, it doesn’t count for much,”
There's a lot more worth reading and listening to so go check him out when you have a little free time and here's another great song if you want to hear more:
